Casa del T-bone is once again experiencing plumbing problems of biblical proportions. At least that's what it sounds like as the plumber tests out our new potty (kinda sounds like a submarine diving beneath the waves and then coming back up suddenly). Advice to anyone seeking to buy an older home: shell out the $200 to have a camera stuck up the home's hoo-hah to see if woe will behold you and your checkbook in the sewer department. We will forever be taking that precaution after living in the learning experience that is our current abode. Forty-year-old cast-iron pipes that look like a spelunker's dream. Good for cave exploring, not good for jetting poo down the tube.
But enough of that, I say! My family and I had a great day last week at the State Fair of Texas, just a few hops and jumps from us over in Dallas.
This year's theme is "Let Yourself Go!" Judging by fellow fairgoers we saw this past Thursday, many had heeded the slogan as a mission statement long before seeking the shadow of Big Tex. While we are not the pictures of lean-muscle-mass-health ourselves, we were smart in seeking out a bit of lunch before hitting Fair Park. Nothing fried passed our lips the entire time we were at the fair. I did have some ice cream, but: sue me. It was good and I rarely eat it. The Cutlet also had a chocolate ice cream cone, or maybe the shirt he was wearing bore the brunt of the dripping goodness. A good time was had by us, and I have the pictures (like the one below) to prove it.
Temporarily dodged a bullet with my in-laws not planning a visit until next weekend. Love 'em dearly, but the house is in no shape to welcome guests. Here's hoping the plumber can make the potty work. It's hard enough living on one working commode just me and the Petite Filet (good thing the Cutlet ain't prone to ridin' the throne yet). Much worse when gastric schedules must be coordinated and four sets of buns are planted in a revolving manner on one single potty. Yikes, just got a visual I will spend the rest of the day trying to forget.
Happy times, people! See ya later.
So no fried twinkies this year? I think this must be the time last year when I started reading you. I remember the fried twinkie pic.
Got a giggle at the amount of times you said "potty" just now.
LOL! Though it is true that most people have a certain potty schedule. Not everyone poos in the morning, but for some reason, I know that a lot of people do. Don't ask. I can just picture the line outside the bathroom ay 7:30am...
Yeah, not appreciating the visual right now! Glad you had a great time.
Didn't you guys have to get a new toilet last year? I seem to recall a post about this..
Wow, the Cutlet gets bigger and bigger every day!
thanks for the happy memories of the Texas State Fair!! Culet is getting so big! Glad you had fun, despite the water troubles at the house. Good readin' ya!
