Ladies, Give me a Break!

I am clumsy these days. My belly is getting huge and I am off balance. I, like most women, have had my share of pregnancy woes, but I’ve dealt and still dealing. And let me tell ya, I’ve dealt good. But this, this, this I can’t get over.

Since I have to go to the restroom all the time now, I see the toilet more than I do my husband. I hate going to public restrooms because I have no clue to whether it’s been cleaned in the last day, week, month, or year. What I hate even more, is when I walk into a stall and see that some nut-job pee’d all over the seat. Disgusting. I thought that only little boys or men who have bad eyesight did that. What kind of woman pees all over a seat for crying out loud?! At least men raise the seat up before peeing all over the place.

I can’t squat anymore because I am too front heavy now. I can’t get up on the seat with my feet and squat because I’ll probably topple over and break my face. So what do I do? I have to wipe the damn thing, put layers upon layers of TP on the seat, and hope and pray that I don’t get any diseases. Then I spray antibacterial spray on TP and wipe my whole bum and wash my hands for 10 minutes. There are some real sicko’s out there.

Also, since I go to public restrooms more frequently now, I also notice that only SOME women properly wash their hands with soap and water. Most wash with just water for a few seconds….. like that is really gonna help get the pee and poo off of their hands. A few just look in the mirror and leave. So gross. Now I look people straight in the eye after shaking their hands and wonder, “Is this person one of thoooose?” yuck.

Solo Triangle

I was driving to teach lessons yesterday and heard the triangle on the radio.  It was Christine Balfa and she is a triangle soloist.  Yes my friends, the triangle.  They played three different excerpts, and I really couldn’t tell the difference between all three songs except for the obvious tempo change.  But, I believe there are some detailed nuances that I was missing.  Was I really missing it, or were they just the same songs in different tempos?  And is the triangle really that interesting?  huh.
