The Float

Sometimes you think something is a good idea - and you truly have the best of intentions - but it just never *quite* works out the way you had envisioned. Case in point - my husband and I's recent 'Float' experience.

There is a place here in KC area that has an enclosed area that has 10-12 inches of 'mineral-rich' water in it that keeps you afloat. That's all - you simply lay there for an hour and float in the water. The Spa proudly claims this as the first of its kind in North America, and judging from my husband and I's experience, it will soon be 'dead as a dodo'. Except, with the DoDo, at least they had some sort of purpose......altho, to be fair, am sure the 'Float' amuses all at the Spa - the sick b-terds lol

Anyway! My husband and I get there a bit early and get shown the locker/shower areas and the whirlpool area, and used the latter while waiting for our 'Float' experience. Once we were in the 'Float' area and left alone, we both got in to begin our relaxing experience. To my husband's credit, he did *try* to relax more than me - as for me, the whole time I find it amazingly funny.

Uhh, yup - funny lol I began to ask how we were supposed to float in the water, as I laid down in the salty-ish water and found that I did indeed float. Impressive? Kinda. Funny? Outrageously funny! For me anyway =) I immediately snorted with suppressed laughter, then just LOST it. I laughed and it somewhat echoed in the enclosed area, which made me laugh more. I then heard my husband sigh, and decided I better try to behave myself so that someone can benefit from this experience.

However, it went downhill from there.......granted, I did manage to go at least 10-15 minutes without laughing again. But during this time, I found the one main light in the area disconcerting and closed my eyes, but got bored and opened one eye - closed it - opened the other eye - closed it. I then floated myself over to my husband and touched him, which with another sigh, he pushed me away. I laid there, took a deep breath and tried *not* to be antsy. I thought what was the most 'serene' pose I could put myself in - and decided that I would lay there with my hands crossed on my chest. BUT, then I found that kinda silly, so I put one arm down to the side, then the other - and then thought that move was incredibly like the macarena dance. And, yes... I lost it....

I snorted, and laughed again lol

Needless to say, neither of us quite made it to the full hour. And, needless to say, I dont think either of us will be going back =)
