bathroom

Crayon Boy’s asleep.

Lloyd was going to post about today’s dress-up day at school (Crayon Day), but he fell asleep around 7 and there’s no guarantee that he’ll post in the morning. So, here’s a place holder.

I need this. I need this like I need air. It speaks to my soul on every level – gadgety-ness, tree-hugger-ness, and weirdness. Please Santa.
Woo-hoo!
It’s a TOILET LID (sold seperately) that puts the water in the sink before it goes in the tank! You flush, you wash.  (It’s clean water, people, so calm down.) I think we should install these in the Center. Those little boys would flush every single time and have super-clean hands.

Super absorbent

This happened before I went to the hospital, but I didn’t get to write about it, because we couldn’t get to the picture (and it seemed like maybe there were more pressing matters). I don’t have a lot of things that are “my job” to do around the house, but reloading TP is one of them. I’m normally very good about it, and this was my first mishap. I didn’t want to put it in the trash, because it was all wet, so I put it in the tub so it could drain a bit.

This sort of thing doesn't happen in Germany

Now just a minute ago, as I was writing this, I wondered whatever happened to that roll? Sure enough it was still in the tub, and it was only a little bit moldy. Yes, just a little bit.

Well.

(By the way – Happy Birthday, Mark!) 

Darn elves.  I’m going to have to start leaving traps out. Lloyd and I came home from Lincoln tonight to find that a certain ‘bathroom elf’ had left some pretty towels for the bathroom.  Well, I had planned a perfectly good evening of sitting around and watching important television shows, but no – I had to do something to justify a new post.

May I present – the Holiday Bathroom, inspired by Sneaky Lady

The towels that started it all...

Yes, there’s a tree in my bathroom.  Funny story.  I put up our old tree in the living room a couple of days ago, and several times since have thought, “I really should buy a skinnier tree that fits in that room better.”  This evening when I was looking for other stuff in the basement, lo and behold – I found a box with the skinny tree I bought last year.  It’s fun being absent-minded.

A tree? In the loo?

 A tiny view of the window.  I don’t know what I’m doing with the camera.

A productive day.

shiny, shiny bathroom

Whoa!  Shiny!

Yeah, it’s brown!  A rich, deep brown called Bavarian Oak, appropriate since after seeing my mother’s family tree I found that many of my ancestors are from Bavaria.  We Bavarians aren’t afraid of color.  (And make all your color-of-poop jokes now – there’s not a one I can’t handle.)

Here’s a different view that’s not so shiny.  In other news, I mowed up all the leaves in the yard.  Lloyd is still stuck at work putting all that junk away.

Brown is a most excellent color.
