Recycle, Re-use and Don't Stub Your Toe

Don't you just love finding a use for something you would have thrown away or stashed in the back of the closet?  And don't you just love when you figure out how to solve a problem using that thing you were going to throw or stash? 

So here's my story.
Part One:  Several years ago my sister-in-law gave me a pair of Bugs Bunny slippers.  Mostly as a joke because she knew I kind of accumulated bunnies of all types.  I hesitate to say collected because it was mostly unintentional, this accumulation of bunnies.  (Or "fuzzy Americans" as my husband called them.)  Anyhow, I actually wore the slippers for awhile because they were really soft and cushy under my feet.  But we live in Florida, and I hit menopause, and that pretty much put a stop to wearing anything - even on my feet - that might cause me to sweat.  So I retired the slippers to the back of the aforementioned closet.

Part Two:  Buddy and I both had a painful habit of stubbing our toes (more like ramming them full on) on the leg of our bed.  Much hopping around.  Many bad words. 

The Solution:  Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words.....

YOU JUST KNOW THERE'S A LEG UNDER THERE WAITING IN AMBUSH FOR INNOCENT TOES.







AM I A GENIUS OR WHAT????


No more painful toes.  And Bugs looks so happy.
