Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The secret lives of stormtroopers

Active SWM seeks SF, any species, for friendship and more. Likes long walks on the beach, dogs, building birdhouses for the blind, cooking for two, xylophone waltzes, styrofoam, cylinders and sports. Rebel chicks need not respond.

I like the one of the stormtrooper baking Christmas cookes.

So the shelf above the toilet strikes again. This morning, I accidentally flushed a bottle of Lancome moisturizer.

I have trained myself to keep the toilet lid down because I am such a fumble-fingers in the morning that I've dunked everything from allergy pills to jewelry to my toothbrush.

There's only so much indignity I can stand before coffee.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So what are people doing this weekend?

I'm getting my hair cut, deep cleaning at least one room, and catching up on my sleep.

My mother accidentally flushed a deoderant container that way.

It resulted in them having to get a new toilet.

(It got wedged, they had to call a plumber. In the process of unseating the toilet, the bowl cracked.)

So I've rarely had occasion to use a fax machine until today. I fell into that experience gap where it was more efficacious to hand deliver./post or email. Weird. Anyway, did you know that if you ship anything less than $1600 to Canada (not sure if that is US or CDN) it is delivered before it clears customs? As in, the item was delivered, and has since been returned to us, a WEEK ago and it is only now clearing customs US to Canada today.

I have also tried to keep the toilet lid down since I hit a bottle of contact solution that was on the toilet back as I was flushing, so it was immediately flushed so that it lodged just out of reach. I was having a party. I had an out of town visitor. The plumber had to take the toilet apart.

I am also getting my hair cut, going to the farmer's market and the open house of the local public gardens, going to a friend's apartment warming/birthday party, and I will have to tidy the house at some point. And do some gardening if it's not raining.

as I was flushing, so it was immediately flushed so that it lodged just out of reach.

This was my problem, it fell in mid-flush.

All these plumbing stories are freaking me out.
