Another Working Day Has Ended

It's been a while since I've posted bathroom shots on here. I'm sure you've all been dying to see some. So, here are a couple from Fire Water.

I'm still a little on the weary side. If I had my druthers, I'd love to come home from work tomorrow and only leave my house to go running, until I have to go back to work on Monday morning. I could just lie around and read novels and comic books and play video games and watch movies...Oh, and nap. I would definitely take copious naps.

The state pool tournament is this weekend, and even though it was one of the funnest things I did last year and the women I go with are the most amazing people on the planet, I'm too tired to go. I have a prior commitment anyway, but even if I didn't, I don't think I'd be up for all that fun.

Here's me taking a self-portrait. Stinky would be so proud of me.

Okay, so now here's the reality of what will happen on my weekend:

On Friday, I'll get home from work and get my running fix. Then I'll boil some cheddar filled brats in a combination of water and beer. After that, I'll grill them and we'll eat them with baked potatoes and more asparagus. Then I will sit in my very clean house and watch movies and have a beer or two. I didn't keep up the one hour a day cleaning schedule on Tuesday or Wednesday, but I made up for it by cleaning for a couple of hours tonight. My house will never be spotless, but it looks pretty nice right now.

Anyway, after the girls get done with track practice on Saturday, we'll drive down to Ottumwa for my aunt and uncle's anniversary dinner and then drive home right after.

Coadster is singing in her church choir early on Sunday morning. I'll try to run and grocery shop on Sunday afternoon, and then the girls have their cathedral concert for high school choir. They all sing at a local church. It's very pretty, but usually way too long.

So, it doesn't look like there will be much time for lounging and relaxing after all. Maybe next week. How about all of you kids? Will you be lounging, or just wishing you were?

These Two Lanes Will Take Us Anywhere

Hey, you know how I'm all weird and like to take pictures of bathrooms? Well these are of the bathroom in the building across from where I work.

This will be short, as I have much to do and tomorrow I'll have miles to drive before I sleep again. I have a few more things to pack and then I'll be ready. I'm feeling a little less overwhelmed. I've also contacted my uncle who lives out there and he's really excited to see us and wants to spend as much time with us as possible. He also seems understanding about the fact that we might need some space as well. After all, this trip is for me and the girls to be able to do our own thing together and on our own time. It does feel nice to have someone there who knows all the ins and outs of the city though.


The thing I like about this bathroom is that it's old and looks all industrial with all the pipes and ducts exposed, but the walls and tile are that almost flesh colored pink. I heart weird contrasts.

Okay, I doubt I'll have internet access while we're gone, so I probably won't hear from any of you until I get back on the 6th. If I come across a stray computer while I'm gone, I'll be sure to drop a line down on the blog. If that doesn't happen, have a great couple of weeks. RAWK!

The Kind You Don't Take Home to Mother

Here are some pics from the bathroom at IC Uglies. My lesbian friends call it the girly bar.

Work today was REALLY challenging. They had a phone team call 1300 students to reschedule orientation due to the flood. They were only able to speak to 400 of them and the other 900 students called us today, in addition to all of our other calls. It was insane.

Luckily, my co-worker John was here today and he gave me more shit than ever. He made fun of me every time I messed up answering the phones. After you say the same thing over and over for eight hours straight, it's easy to start sounding either drunk or like Mush Mouth from The Cosby Kids.

It has to be the cleanest bar bathroom I've ever seen.

Apparently, I'm feeling random again tonight, so on to the next totally unrelated subject. My girls have been watching I Love the New Millenium on Vh1. I thought it was weird when they did I Love the 90's a while back, because they were talking about 5 years ago like it was ancient history. But we're still living in the new millenium, so what do they do when they get to the end? Start saying, I Love Five Minutes Ago? or I Love Right Now? Remember last weekend when Get Smart came out? Yeah, I feel super nostalgic about that shit.

Who doesn't like a good PMS poster in their bathroom?

Lastly, Stinky just cut her bangs, but she made the mistake of cutting them too short and they go straight across her forehead. Coadster told her she looked like Rick James in the "Super Freak" video. I'm sure nobody's surprised that both my daughters know that reference, but how many years of therapy do you think they'll both need for being exposed to that kind of cheese at such a young age?
