It's Thursday Baby!


I was going to get a bit lazy today and not post, but my lovely friend wrote me on Facebook telling me she was looking forward to my Thursday blog post! So Cheltzey- this one is dedicated to YOU!

You may notice that my blog is changed up a bit, and there is a reason for that! I am guest judging a contest over at Heather Sellers Photography. She asked me what to put my blog name as, and I realized my blog name was The Hawkers. Lameo! So I gave it a cute little name! The Love Shack. How do you feel about it? I am digging it!


So on my favorite radio show that I listen to, the guys was talking about how ridiculous it is that women expect the men to put down the toilet seat after going potty. And it got me thinking. I never had to share a bathroom with a boy growing up, the boys used the downstairs bathroom and I used the upstairs one. I never really had to deal with the toilet seat issue. When I got married, I didn't really even think about this issue. (even though it tends to be a common fight between husbands and wives around the world)

So a couple weeks into my new marriage, I went to go potty in the wee hours of the night (no pun intended) I went to sat down, and splash! I sat straight in the toilet water. Yes, I could have been angry. But no, I couldn't stop laughing. I felt so ridiculous, I just fell in the toilet! I told my silly story to Reese, not to get angry with him, but to express to him how stupid I felt. I felt it was just as much my fault as his. I mean who is to say that it isn't the women's job to put the toilet seat up after using it? I found the whole situation funny! But after that day, I have never found the toilet seat up after Reese has used it, he always puts it down. This made my realize, sometimes you just need to find the humor in life, and things could work out to your benefit! Like no wet bums in the middle of the night! ;)



Since our topic seems to be toilets today(odd topic... I know!) I will give you a toilet tip today! My toilet tip is for cleaning it. My mother taught me this trick ( she is FULL of tricks!) And most of you might already know this, but if you take a pitcher full of water and dump it straight in the toilet (pour it all in at once) and when you do this is will flush the toilet leaving only an inch or so of water in the bottom, make the toilet nice and easy to clean! You can use your pumice stone without any worries of wet hands! :) It makes cleaning the toilet much easier, and you come out with a really clean toilet!


Happy Thursday to all of you :)

XOXO

I tried to comment earlier... It failed! :-)
I just wanted to say that I am learning SO much from you, Shayna. I used to clean motel rooms and I wish I had known this trick then, because, let me tell you, even with a glove on it was very scary to stick my hand in those toilets! Also, I love the humor thing! People don't like people who are nagging! I think you nailed it! Thanks for the tip and good laugh!!!
