OK so once again, I’ve stopped blogging. I’m tired, sue me. I’ve had a lot of blog topics floating around in my head. I’ve had a lot of blog ideas saved in my RSS feeds from all of you really interesting bloggers who actually have time and energy to blog. Someday I might actually blog about those topics – they’ll probably be all retro and stuff but whatever.
I’m posting just a quick life update for those of you who might be wondering what keeps us so busy and distracted around here. Toilets mostly. TW puts in a lot of toilet time (she will love that I just said that) and we’ve been putting in a lot of doctor time and thinking about the doctor time recently because that’s all related to TW and her toilet time. You can read all about that umm stuff on TW’s toilet blog. As you’ll see, things will be busy along those lines all month long. Joys and blessings, our lives are full of them aren’t they?
And speaking of toilets, I took Michelle shopping last weekend for pajamas to wear to a pajama party and was instructed by TW to buy a new toilet seat. Well since she spends a lot of time there and Jackie has inspired me to take care of my IBS’d s/o, I went shopping for one. I’ve never bought a toilet seat before so I asked for guidance before I left. Luckily TW and I agree = no padded seats, no fuzzy seats and really we don’t want decorations at all. Just white is good and TW said not a wooden one and I immediately think wood grain and say so. She says no – no wood, like the one we have now, it stains too easily. Ha, I didn’t know ours was wood.
So I bought one, cheap and white at Target. TW installed it and all was right with the toilet world down here in the adult Flamingohouse Bathroom. Upstairs in the children’s Flamingohouse Bathroom they installed a Dolphin toilet seat that Michelle picked out and all of the kids love. It takes so little to please these kids. I can only imagine what games the little ones will play with the dolphin toilet seat…
The most interesting part about the toilet seat was the instruction page that came with it:
When cleaning your toilet seat, wash it only with mild, soapy water. Rinse the seat thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive scouring powders or detergents, disinfectants, or cleaning products in aerosol cans as they can damage the seats lustrous finish.
Ha, no cleaners on toilet seats? They must be kidding. Forget the lustrous finish (not that I have seen it looking lustrous and I looked really closely) we’ve got serious bathroom users around here. I am betting you have some in your house too. What kind of people do the toilet seat manufacturers think we are? No cleaners? Just soap and water and a soft cloth? Ha.
And last but not least, not related to toilets, TW and Michelle and I did a little live blogging experiment last night during the Gilmore Girls. It’s pretty darn amusing to see how the three of us chose to blog the show. Check it out, even if you don’t love the GGs and Stars Hollow like we do.
Now back to my previously scheduled life, the fun never ends around here… Maybe next weekend I’ll go out shopping for some of these interesting dimmer switch covers, I bet they’ll look really great next to the sparkling toilet seat – wonder if they have them at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
