#52. Bathroom Conversations
|15.Apr.2007I am adding to my slow growing Things About Me list. Remember #51? Well, here’s #52:
I am a toilet thinker. I am also a toilet reader.
I know, most of you probably do your thing and get up to go about life, but ya know it is still my refuge. Who cares that my feet and legs fall asleep before I get off?! It is a pretty bathroom from where I sit, no? There, now I can go on … knowing I’ve come “clean” (no pun intended *wink*) on that one.
As I sat and pondered the weekend’s adventures – snaking (wait, that sorta sounds … um … well, baaaaaad), painting, planting, and multiple trips to Home Depot … I realized that I should probably share the collective wisdom gathered from Friday’s post.
So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever you drink and glean the following wisdom from you, my ever faithful, sometimes bored-out-of-your-mind, and when-i-am-lucky, responsive readers.
- Snakes with a triangular head = BAAAAAD SNAKE or, if you will, a “baddie” or even a baaaad one. And here I was calling it the spawn of satan, geez.
- When encountering a triangular headed “baddie”, I should run, try not to pee my pants, “GET AWAY FROM IT!”, that it is perfectly fittin’ to “scream like a girl”, oh, and if I want to be really cool I can clap my hands three times – although I’m still curious the purpose behind that li’l ritual. Apparently, however, I am NOT supposed to be catching it in a minnow bucket. Go figure.
- Next time I send my daughter off for school pictures, I need to make sure she wears her shirt that, get this, “looks like she did bloody battle” with a snake! Mim! I cracked up! LOVE IT!
- The label for what I felt after realizing I had nearly handled a venomous snake is “creepy crawlies on your spine”. Which, by the way, is the same feeling I get about roaches. Thankfully my resident snake handler with “a stomach of steel” is also “the bug killer in the house” and will smush’em with her boot, flip flop, or book (whichever is nearest) while I perch atop the stove.
- Gina was/is right when she said that the only good snake is a dead snake! And we did kill him dead.
- Although most of you (don’t feel bad – I KNOW – I GET IT.) agreed that I must’ve been scared to stupid, I wanna give a big ol’ cyber hug to Kristin for calling me brave and Laura/PinkFontGirl for sending me some love.

Hmph. I was not metioned. I jest. Haha. GORGEOUS bathroom! We had a garden tub in our mobile home (that mobile home was HUGE! 1700 sq. ft), but not in our house! We hope to have one when we move into the home we “want to have our grandchildren in.”

MMM – refresh … you certainly were. :)
I do like the concept of a garden tub, but mine is a bit … well … short.

Sweet bathroom! I lurve mine too. I’d like to be able to sit and read more than I do, but I have to keep the kids from killing each other. I’m hoping this coming week hold no snakes (or lions, or tigers, or bears, oh my!)

Nice potty view. :)

Purty bathroom. Mine. Not so much. Alas I rent and the brown potty just don’t get it, you know. Not some pretty tan or taupe, but B R O W N, brown. The kind of brown that matches the poo. And who wants to sit in a brown the the same color. What were they thinking when they built this house? they most certainly thinking about how some of us like to sit and think, were they? Because I like to sit and think too, but the room, it is stifling. Yours, so pretty.

No coffee yet:
“they most certainly thinking about how some of us like to sit and think, were they?”
should be:
“They most certainly were not thinking about how some of us like to sit and think, were they?”
OH, and that second the, pretend it’s not there.

Angella – If I had your bathroom I never would come out. God knew you had more discipline to go about life with such an awesome bathroom … so he let YOU have it instead of me! HA!
the SmockLady – er … a BROWN POT … now that is something I have never seen. Black, yes. Brown? Never! hahahaha
