I dig toilets. I dig them so much that in boxes and photo albums around my house, I have photos of toilets I’ve visited all across the world.
I dig toilet humor. To live in this house, you pretty much have to laugh while you’re cleaning up the “toilet type” messes made by children (and animals) every single day.
I can’t say I dig TW’s toilet issues, they make me sad, but I’ve gotten use to them. So use to them that I only say “what are you doing” a few times a day, as she gets up from her spot on the bed next to me, over and over again. The illness formerly known as Ulcerative Colitis but now renamed Crohn’s means that toilets are an even more important part of my life than ever before.
When TW disappears in a store, I don’t immediately think she’s wandered off to impulse shop in private (though she sometimes still does this), instead I assume she’s headed to the restroom and I’ll find her again eventually.
On car trips, I use to live by my father’s rule of only stopping if the dog needed to use the bathroom (and since I try to never travel with the dogs) we rarely stopped. Now, I barely sigh when we stop at rest stops all over the US, even if we’ve just stopped at a gas station 20 minutes ago.
I dig toilets and I understand toilets. I have absolutely no issue with toilets, I don’t even really mind cleaning them though I prefer not to ever enter the bathroom that the children use and TW cleans ours (it’s the least she can do since she uses it the most and since I do all of the freaking laundry, right).
TW and I have even hashed out our toilet paper problem. The over/under question has caused us to have some serious discussions over the last four years. Recently TW put her foot down and decided it would go “over” the top. Which is fine, I prefer it that way. But what was good was finally getting a “decree” because I would often try to be nice (since she uses so much TP) and put it under for her. She, being marshmallowy, would put it over for me. So, neither of us was ever really happy about it. In the dark, it’s tough to know which way to pull when there’s no consistency.
So why am I blogging about toilets? Since I dig them and have no serious toilet issues? Well I do, actually, have a toilet issue. And, I thought TW and I had that sussed before I ever moved to Florida. I thought we resolved that and she understood just how strongly I felt about this one issue. It does, after all, effect my hairbrush and I have SERIOUS hairbrush issues.
I do not want my hairbrush anywhere near toilet water. Ever. And if it comes in contact with said water, or you even think it MIGHT have come in contact, then the brush goes into the trash. Not back on the counter. Not in the dishwasher. Not in a pot of boiling water and not in the basket on the toilet tank lid.
We resolved this. In SC. Didn’t we?
She is the one who still talks about my ex who sold a car with my hairbrush still in it. (A story I am often sorry I told her because of how often she mentions this)
She is the one who drove 7 hours, not leaving her house til 11pm, with three children simply to bring me back the hairbrush I had left at her house earlier that day.
She is the one who scoured the internet, grocery stores, drugstores, Super K, Super Wal-mart and Super Targets all over the country, not to mention every rest stop in the southeast in search of the special pink Goodys hairbrush I prefer.
If she knows all of this, and she obviously does, then why did I find her talking about cleaning toilets with a pumice stone last night on her blog. When said pumice stone was IN THE BASKET WITH MY HAIRBRUSH?????? My hairbrush that is only in there because she was using it because her hair was way long and she actually had to brush it before going to work. My hairbrush that I really don’t like anyone using. MY hairbrush. WAS in the basket. WITH. THE. PUMICE. STONE.

I have tons of things to do and no time to do them so let’s see if this list thing helps…
1) Delete spam from 4 junk mail boxes.
2) Write the HP phone conference report.
3) Write a mini review of a new health site.
4) Start the weekly report.
5) WLC phone conference.
6) Mod meeting (canceled)
7) LAUNDRY
8) Find a cord for RJ’s MP3 player so we can put some decent music on this thing. (why can’t there be a STANDARD cord for MP3 players and digital cameras???? In the last 5 years we’ve had 4 MP3 players, a hand scanner, a Mini Disc player and 7 digital cameras and we do not have the cord to fit this particular MP3 player! GEEZ)
9) Blog about toilets.
10) Write the Brilliant Women entry.
11) Help Michelle with geometry (and chemistry too).
12) Return long overdue library books.
13) Blog phone call.
An update at 6pm… ha, of course I still didn’t blog about a “real topic” and I still didn’t write the Brilliant Women entry and those library books are still overdue – though they are in the bag, by the door and ready to go out when we leave at 7:20ish to see Hamlet. I got other stuff not on that list done today, so it was a pretty productive day. And of course, I will be doing laundry until my dying day and even then I’ll probably come back as a laundry worker or something in my next life.
One last update, ha! Toilet blog post is up and I feel better. Thanks for listening and of course supporting my outrage!

I was chastised. By the owner of the book I was telling you all about last month.. umm in August (time flies) Sniff, Sniff. No, I still haven’t finished my entry which means I still haven’t sent it on its way to the next person in the ring. I’ve thought about it a lot. I even bought some cool things to decorate my pages with. I’ve come up with some Brilliant Women I want to write about and I’ve jotted some ideas about said Brilliant Women. But no, I have not actually WRITTEN anything in the doggone journal.
I’m bad. I know. I’m sorry. Sort of. Brilliance is hard to write about. I feel like I need to write brilliantly about these brilliant women and I’ve been just a little too "off" to come close to writing anything brilliant. Heck, I can’t even manage to successfully log into my email account half the time because I can’t seem to type my own name! See? How can I be expected to write about brilliant women under this type of cloud?
Yes, I’m just making excuses. I’m good at making excuses. When it comes to excuse making, I’m a brilliant woman.
So here’s the list of women I’m going to write about, in no particular order, I think…
Making the list is the hardest part, right?

I’m a pretty lucky person. I’ve won more than my fair shair of raffles and door prizes over the years. But, the luck I’m talking about today is lube luck.
Every year at the GLBT PRIDE festival, the PRIDE committee raffles off baskets of ID Lube, (sometimes they raffle other stuff too), and they have a 50/50 raffle. For the last four years, I’ve been shut out of the winnings just once. And two of those four years, I won two prizes.
Last night, I won the 50/50 raffle (and dropped the winnings into the PRIDE committee donations fishbowl, which is what I did two years ago as well). I also won the medium sized basket of lube. (I won a similar basket three years ago, along with tickets to the ballet) It’s a lot of lube considering we still have more than half of the lube left from that first winning night (most of what’s missing was given away lol). I wonder if some relief organization is in need of lube? Hmmm, I might have to make some calls and find out.
TW wants to know why I don’t play the lottery. Duh, obviously straight girls like my sister win the lottery and gay girls like me win lube. It would be a waste of my money to try and break the rules of luck.
Besides the lube and the 50/50 luck last night, I had a bit more luck show itself. My 19 year old son was wondering around the PRIDE festival wearing an “I love my lesbian mom” button. And when my 15 year old heard about it, she ran off to buy one to wear, too.
Yes, I’m a very lucky woman. Lube and kids who love their lesbian mom. It doesn’t get any better than that, does it?

Daily Dose of Music – Random 10 Read More »
In the beginning, when we were still disovering similar interests and different ideas in each other, TW and I found ourselves in the midst of what I like to call a poetry dance. The "music" we were dancing to was the poetry of Audre Lorde. On a message board, in a community of women, there were few who recognized Lorde’s words and even fewer who understood what Lorde’s words meant to us. Typical and disappointing. Finding TW in that place and finding that she not only knew of Audre Lorde but appreciated her was neither typical or disappointing. It was pretty darn amazing.
I’ve mentioned my birthday gifts on the other blog; iRiver and clean sweep but now I’m going to tell you about the best gift of all! (I know, how could it get better than that?)
TW adopted Audre Lorde for me! It’s true, she did! You can go right to this Audre Lorde page of the Poets.org site and look way down there on the right. My name is there (along with some other obvoiusly cool woman in NYC).
A lot of time has passed since then and we’ve shared a lot of poetry since then but Audre Lorde will always be special to us both. For who she was, what she said and the poetry dance the two of us shared.
