Talk To Us Tuesday #12
Hey Lovies! I'm back for a 12th week of TTUT hosted by the sassy Shawn and yours truly. I know we're all busy from now until after the first of the year, but if you are planning on posting something on Tuesday, why not link up with us? We have no rules! You can link up anything! Need ideas? This is the time of year for great blog writing! Let me know if you want some topics. I have a list of them!
The last few weeks have been a blur. I haven't been on blogger or Pinterest much at all and you know how much I love both of these activities, right? Well, it will get worse before it gets better. Please don't break up with me. PLEASE? PLEASE?
I've been a traveling fool lately. We traveled to the land of polar bears for Thanksgiving. I did LOTS of baking, cooking, dishes. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. I gained a shocking 5 pounds! I wonder if that's because I stuffed my face with everything I could get my hands on for the ENTIRE TRIP? Hmmm. Maybe. But it will take me weeks to shed 5 pounds. Hi. My name is IA and I'm addicted to food.
While in Michigan, I accidentally got drunk at the bar while dealing with an asshat stranger that kept telling M that in 21 years, I will be leaving him for another man. I may have set him straight in NOT a nice way. And I may have tweeted and texted some friends that said I was an angry drunk. I blame the asshat at the bar.
Our flight home on Saturday was cancelled. Lovely. We were then booked on Sunday morning for a 5:45am flight. WTH? Are you serious? That's leaving at 4:45am MY TIME and getting up even earlier with a toddler. It wasn't a great experience on my part but Emma did great. We almost lost our lives in the cab ride to the airport. I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. Our layover in Chicago was long. At one point, all 3 of us were sleeping in the airport. I was sprawled out on a bench seat (probably snoring), looking completely white trash and woke up with strangers staring at me as I wiped drool from my mouth. I did manage to take this pic with my iphone:Nope. Not of me with drool. Duh. I wouldn't embarrass myself like that. But Emma was a daddy's girl during our plane rides. I think it's because he kept giving her sweets and suckers.
I have a question. I've been seeing these types of toilets lately but I'm not convinced of their cleanliness. Do you think the same piece of plastic just keeps rotating? This was from one of the airports.You know I hate public restrooms but my bowels love them. But these rotating things seem kind of fishy to me. Thoughts?
Moving on....
I leave for Denver on Thursday with my momma. I can't WAIT to take in all the gorgeousness and spend some good quality time with her and maybe meet up with Connie while I'm there. I'll be heading to Georgetown for a little shopping too. What would you like for me to buy for you?
And finally, I started a new page called IA the Chef? and the link is at the top in a weird spot. It's nothing big. Just a few recipes that I make over and over that I think are fabulous and decided to share. I just need to figure out how to put it up with the rest of my tabs at the very top. Anyone wanna help a sister out?
I hope you have a great week and I look forward to reading your TTUT posts!
35 peeps showin' some love:
Is that THIS weekend already!
Let me know if you are in my area!
I'm so sorry for calling you an angry drunk. I was fresh off from my nasty elf experience and I was sensitive.
I've never seen those toilets because I don't fly.
Hmmm---those seats are a little fishy, eh? Makes ya wonder where all of that plastic goes, eh?
Oh.. I am needing some new jewelry. Nothing expensive, just a few little necklaces/bracelets, etc. to wear. ;)
Have fun!! Super jelly that you get to meet another fellow blogger!
If you call me I can get that tab up top, too much to write at 7 am lol. Bless her heart she is such a trooper and I would be weirded out by a toilet that looked like that. I would say it is like a refillable tube of pre fit saran wrap. When it moves it rips the already used wrap off like a shredder as the other side pushed the next layer out.
I didn't think you were angry, just drunk. there's a difference.
Peanut has the same fear of those seats, I for one believe them and sit right down. I tend to over trust though so you may still want to hover.
You're such a jet-setter! Have a great time with your Mom and give Connie a squeeze for me.
How does this accidental drunkenness occur? Do you catch it from the rotating toilet seat?
I think that M was mentally flipping you off in that pic, just sayin'...
Oh, I love Denver, but watch out, they have mad amounts of homeless people who want money.
I'll check the recipes out because I love to eat!
I always wondered that about those toilets too. I just hope it's fed from one end and trashed on the other. Actually, I just usually hover!
I have never seen those toilets, I think the plastic keeps rotating.
I would have went of on bar man too, major ass!
Have fun in Colorado!
Man, your gonna be just three hours south of me. Have fun in Denver.
You can shop for just about anything, I'll like it I promise;)
The one time we traveled with Turbo when he was little, we got to do the insane early thing at the airport and have crazy long layovers too. The kid finally dropped about 15 minutes before the flight boarded back to Denver. Yeah, that was fun.
Yes i have seen those toilets and i still squat over them!!! I don't think it goes and disposes them, I want to open one up and see what is behind the button! I totally agree with you and they seem to just rotate and pretend your bum is going to do the piddly diddly on a clean area. I would rather do it in the grass than sit on that thing!
hahaha! I think I got a little too excited about the toilet!
Did you figure out how to add to the tabs? Go to edit posts. Then edit pages. You can add a page (your recipes) etc.
Ohhh I'm jealous! I haven't been anywhere in forever. I feel the need to GO somewhere! Soon!!
I'll live vicariously through you. :)
And that toilet seat cover thingy is new to me, and also looks quite sketchy to me...
AND I get drunk and snarly with asshats all the time. Maybe Reason #684 why I'm still single... ;)
Ugh, I can't imagine having a flight that early, and with child!
I've never seen a toilet like that, must not get out much ;) I hope the piece of plastic isn't the same one spinning, nas-tay. Did it spritz your booty before you got up?
Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and arrived home safely!
i haven't been in an airport since i had a fancy job so i had no idea those toilets existed.
Those seats creep me out..and the ones that flush themselves right as you are standing up..lol!
Have a great trip!
I will get you the rules post today so you can get it scheduled before your next trip- you are a busy lady!
Your poor husband looks so tired in that picture- and yea that flight time is just wrong!
And I have totally wondered the same thing about those toilets, I mean where could the plastic go other than rotate??
Oh my! Your husband totally looks high or drunk. I've never seen one of those toilets but you're probably right. They probably do just rotate the plastic.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
I've never seen such a toilet...but then, I tend to ...erm...clog up while flying. :-/ And frankly, that toilet picture is NOT helping! What happens to that piece of plastic? Ugh, I mustn't think about it anymore.
I'm sure it is of no comfort, but you are exponentially more likely to get sick touching anything in a kindergarten classroom than a public toilet seat. And the door handles are MUCH more germy than the seat. But, of course, I'm sure that doesn't really help ;-)
I'm off to check out the recipes!
Have you already driven through to Ft. Worth and I missed you? I want to meet blog friends!!
Um, I'd still hover over that bowl even if it had the plastic on it- mainly because if it were me, I'd probably mess with it and some how contaminate it for the next person- but I hear ATM machines and our tv remote controls are far more dirty!
Wish I could help on the button above for your recipes, I can't even figure out how to add a button on my blog from Facebook. I'll work on using some of your ideas that you sent! :) hugs and we'll never break up.
Ps. Asshat is one of my favorite words!!
OMG, I never even thought of the fact that they might just go round and round using the same plastic. Now I want to take one apart, the next time I see one.
And, you should have nut punched the douchewaffle in the bar.
Then taken a picture of his face!
I would have flipped out on that stranger too. How dare he!
Ew yeah I don't trust those seats either. Sucks you guys were stuck in the airport for so long.
Have a great time with your mama in Colorado! I bet it's gorgeous there this time of year.
I'm definitely going to check out your recipes. Loved the ritz cracker chicken so I know you know what you're doing! Oh and holiday weight so doesnt count!
Okay. I hate it when I type out a comment and then it gets all caught up in BlogHell. And I really don't want to type it all back out again.
But the plastic covering... no not a rotating germ loop.
I hope not.
Public toilets... *shudder* yes I am sure the plastic rotates somehow. *shudder* Airport delays suck butt!
You run off to the hinterlands and leave me hanging with only a few tweets to assuage my IA blog addiction. And now off to Denver, are you going to forget me again?
I'm not feeling the love.
--the photo is priceless...
The toilet is quite saran wrap straaaange.
& You are FUNNY.
Have fun w/ Mama :)) Xx
I've thought that about those toilets for years...I believe they ARE the same plastic. Liars. LIARS.
You only gained 5 lbs? I wonder how much I gained. I dont' want to know. Tomorrow morning you will hear my shrieking all the way in OK.
Blur for me too lately....love the toilet....I never thought about that!!!
Oh there is NO WAY i'd chance sitting on that plastic covered toilet. Gross. For some reason that seems even grosser than just the regular seat. Blech.
Ummm, I'll admit I was a drunk girl this past weekend, too. :o/ Not an angry one, but still a drunk. Think I'm gonna be cutting back for awhile. Boooo.
I totally DO think it's the same plastic on those toilets! You should hover. I love the pic of M and Emma. Sucks about your early flight and your angry drinking problem. :)
I will be in Portland this weekend. Too bad we can't meet in the middle...
(Go into your posting tab and "add page")
sounds like you have been busy! "ass hat" is my new word by the way! thanks! haha
There is nothing worse than sleeping in airports. I have had to do it many times. My mom was a flight attendant for 36 years. I grew up in airports. there is nothing I hate more than having to sleep in them. Vegas is the worst bc the coin sounds don't stop on the slot machines at any hour, even when no one is playing them. AWFUL!!!
I've only seen those toilets once but I don't care... I still hovered. I think something is up with them too!
you never told me about your layover?! yuck. that is the absolute worst. getting stuck in atlanta's airport was by far one of my worst airport experiences.
and a toilet that already has the plastic on it?! no thanks. i would still be squatting either way. no need to catch some nasty disease.
xoxo
