Secret Shame?

So a while back I got a great idea. I should start a new blog about my thoughts on the mysterious world that is the public bathroom. I had told Caitlin for years that every time I go to the bathroom, I want to blog about something I observed there. Crazy crap happens in the bathroom that really doesn't get talked about. There are different etiquette rules and people completely change their behavior. Caitlin wasn't super psyched about me putting that stuff on our family blog, so I figured I'd have to start a new one.

BUT, upon searching the internet, turns out there is already one out there and it has only been going for a month or so! Grr! At first I was disappointed, but then I started reading and found that it was taking my idea to a whole new level and included multiple writers and different viewpoints (they even have a woman!). I started laughing at about everything I read. Yes, my secret shame is that I'm hooked into reading a blog about poo. But don't blame me, this stuff is hilarious! So I added them to our side bar and read with regularity.

The blog is He Shat, She Shat (click for link). I think my favorite post is the one where the author (Doogan Howser MD) tries to figure out why people like the smell of their own farts and not others and captures that thought in a ven diagram. Genius! Read it here!

Invalidation

So the bathroom in my new office has a little plaque on the outside that reads the following:

"THIS IS A FRAGRANCE FREE RESTROOM".

I had to chuckle when I read it considering it only took me 7 seconds to invalidate that shiz. Sorry restroom, you got fragrance coming out your ears now sucka.

Skillz to pay the Billz

Max has a new trick.

See that orange ring? Well, Max figured out that if he concentrates really hard, he can reach out and grab it. And once he grabs it, he can pull on it. And when he pulls it? Well...music. He is loving his new learning.

Just one step closer to me teaching him to pull my finger. YES!

This Just In (Out?)!

Caitlin and I just got back from a crazy killer weekend in Door County, WI. Before I take the time to post all our pictures and adventures, I wanted to post a highlight for me from the vacation. Just tonight as we were heading home, we stopped by the outlets. While visiting the Bath and Body Works Outlet, I farted. Here is the amazing part - Caitlin smelled it from across the store.

Are you people realizing the potency and power of this? She looked at me from across the store (which is filled with nothing but air fresheners and scented liquids) and knew what I had done. It was a moment I will cherish, forever. Seriously B&B Works...you are no match for the man.

(I recognize some people will find this story disgusting and revolting, but you have to give me some credit here).
