Cookie Disaster Lol

Ok, decided to make sugar cookies tonight.
Hubby working + kids at football game = me making huge mess.
So I look up a sugar cookie recipe here on CC. Got it and royal icing recipe. Ok I am ready to make them. I decide to use the almond extract rather than vanilla. (mind you they taste great!)
Cookies bake
Cookies cool
I make royal icing. Decided to just do them white since it is my first attempt at this.
I do the outline since I am a beginner. All goes well with that.
THEN................
I think my icing to fill in the cookies.
Apparently I forgot to twist the end of my bag. I gush icing everywhere! So I twist the bag and wash up. I had to rinse the end of the bag off and how its wet. So I decide to wrap the end in a dish towel so I don't drip water on the cookies.
So here I am filling in and everything is going well.
Then there is a clump in my bag. It won't pipe out, so I shove a toothpick in the little hole. Clears it up. It clogs again. Do the same thing. Not working this time. So I try it once more. (hubby home by now watching tv and talkin on phone). So smart me decides to force the clump out.
Bad idea. Towel doesn't have a good grip on the end and when I try the back of the bag burst open and I am covered with royal icing and it is running down my arms. I scream, hubby laughs.
I finally did get the mess up, finished my cookies and they were delicious.
Ahhh alls well that ends well I suppose. 
awww. dont feel bad, today i was trying to do corneli lace on a cake and it kept getting cloged, so i do the toothpick thing like a hundred times, finally i am finished it took forever!!!!!11 i pull the tip out to clean bag, ect.. and guess what i find in the tip???
