Memorial Day Weekend Recap
Hello all and Happy Memorial Day! I hope many of you are enjoying an extra day off today. We are blessed to have a super unseasonably cool weekend upon us to actually enjoy. (Well, for someone like me!) When you have to wear a jacket on walks, I say it's a victory given how many Memorial Days we've spent drenched in flop sweat. So I am going to enjoy the cool spell while I can. We had a ton of rainy, cold days which were good for my soul but my newly planted veggies and flowers weren't necessarily happy about it. Whoops! The first hint of sun they got was Friday so I'm sure they were happy to know they could actually get some sun instead of thinking they lived in London. I have mentioned our a-hole squirrels/chipmunks around here and I saw one sniffin' around the zinnias in the side bed so what did I have to do? Obviously I can't have them there forever but until they're not as wee, I think they should be helpful. I had a delig...
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
