Poo's funny...Sometimes!

Hi there!

Dean and I are so excited to be gaining so many friends. This is fun!

You know what isn't fun? Plunging a toilet. The B&B is in full swing with renovations and there's workmen in and out all day long. So, I guess it was bound to happen. But, the thought of unplugging a porcelain bowl so graciously ladled with 230 lb workman waste at 8 months preggers was not a task I wanted to undertake. However, the bowl runneth over and over and over and Dean was in town buying lumber. So, I had little choice. Well, "little" NOT being the operative word by far. I had to give "McSteamy" kudos here...this was a two ton turd that seemed invincible. It coiled in ways I've never seen a snake do before.Good for him for having such a well balanced fiber filled diet but this brown beast scared the crap out of me! And, I'm NOT shit shy. In fact, I'm a Poo Fanatic and a fart joke fan to the extreme.I even have the childhood cartoon books "The Gas We Pass" and "Everybody Poo's!" proudly displayed on my mantle while my* unused copy of* "War and Peace" collects dust buried in my sock drawer.Hey, [highlight]I'm a self professed and midly obsessed* Poo Lover and* not ashamed to admit it[/highlight]. Shits funny! Just not other people's shit. Now, some may say... HEY, your about to have a kid get used to it! But, somehow wiping the babysoft bottom of a 7lb little being created lovingly with the man I adore doesn't seem so bad. Neither does the collecting of mini tootsie rolls that shoot out of Mimi La Rue's ass everywhere she goes. But, this was ungodly. Yet, when I set my mind to a task I go full steam ahead. So, I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed my plunger, and dove in. I plunged my little heart out when suddenly a miracle happened... the toilet flushed! SWOOSH...and it was all but a distant stench. I was left repulsed and exhausted with a sore forearm yet somehow I felt PROUD! I mean...lets face it, growing up I never had to plunge a toilet . I didnt even know what a plunger looked like. So, it felt like an accomplishment to this girl. I strutted out of that wasteland with a new found respect for septic tank cleaners and a smile on my face. It just goes to show you--- When life hands you CRAP, you plunge away!-- Tori xoxo
