What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
Weirdest place that comes to mind for me is when we were checking on the progress of our condo - new construction. I had one of those sudden urges that just wasn't going to let up but our place was still basically without any toilet yet. Thankfully the building across the street was further along and wide open. With nobody around (it was night time) I went in one of the units in the dark (no electricity yet) and wrecked the thankfully working toilet.
ReplyDeleteWe did lots of camping when I was a kid so lots of peeing in the woods which I actually preferred to the pit toilets available some places. There was one time that we pulled over to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere (mom and dad have this thing against freeways so we always took back roads everywhere - which means almost no traffic and no rest stops) and there was this rock there with a hole in the middle. It was like a naturally eroded toilet seat into open air behind some bigger rocks.
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite joke! I used to tell it to my bestie's now deceased husband all the time. I was always laughing so hard I couldn't give the punchline and we would be rolling around laughing our heads off. Great memory we still talk about today. My aunt had a real outhouse complete with a quarter moon cutout that I used often because she had 9 kids so the bathroom was usually busy. The weirdest is when I go to the lake with my friend. Everyone anchors their boats and we stand in waist high water. I have had people tell me they just peed while talking to me! Yuck! I at least walk away to go.
ReplyDeleteI know I've pooped in the woods before on camping trips but I have a vague memory of doing so in a bucket somewhere as well. Just can't remember the circumstances. LOL
