I want to share with you what I got for my birthday.
I have been known to want really bizarre things on my birthday.
One year I asked Rob if we could spend the day purging and cleaning the basement.
It was so totally fun for me (probably not for him!)
This year I asked him for a new toilet seat for the bathroom, we moved into this place 2 years ago and who knows how long the toilet has been here but the seat, well you know, its old and I'll spare you the details of what it looked like.
So this was my present:
After getting completely whacked out on sugar and caffeine, my other birthday request was to change the toilet seat and to give a tutorial to my 3 boys on the art of toilet cleaning.
My boys are 13 and 17 and I still have never taught them how to clean a toilet. Hence, guess who does it? I have never found out if Rob knows how to do it, I just do it because it is easy for me. However, I am determined that my boys know this valuable skill before they leave home. So I bought special gloves for the occasion.
ANYWAY, that birthday activity lasted about 3 minutes. I didn't really get to finish the tutorial on toilet cleaning, they all took off before I instructed them on washing the outside of the toilet and surrounds but I guess they will just figure it out when the time comes.
My job is done at least.
And now I have a new toilet seat.
It even closes hydraulically! Wow!
For the next round of festive birthday activities, I wanted the family to go to the studio with me and do a family art project. Since wallpaper people is what I'm currently into, I thought we could do a collaborative canvas.

That lasted about 4 minutes.


I think next year we will go to a movie. Or something everyone wants to do. I can be
the artist. They don't have to be. Thanks boys, I Love you guys!
