Bathroom talk

Down in the mead-ow in a lit-tle bit-ty pool,
Swam five lit-tle fish-ies and a ma-ma fish-ie too,
“Swim” said the ma-ma fish-ie, “Swim if you can,”
And they swam and they swam all o-ver the dam.

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chue!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chue!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chue!
And dey fam and dey fam all o-ver de dam.

I have been singing this song today because I decided it was time to have some fiber fun. So I made these tropical fish. Right now they are sort of glued together and waterless on my design wall.

Why am I making fish and what does it have to do with bathrooms, you ask? Well, remember a while ago I mentioned that we were having a new tile floor put in our master bathroom and it also got a paint job. Here is the beautiful new tile:

Here is the art work we currently have hanging in the bathroom:

You can see that I have plenty of breasts gracing the bathroom so that Steve and I aren’t totally boobless!! You can also see the color that we painted the room – turquoise. It is a very Miami, tropical sort of turquoise so I have decided to add some tropical fiber art. The fish are going to go over the window which is behind the jacuzzi tub. And a flamingo is going on another wall.

Day 17 of Twenty Days of Virtue I am almost at the finish line. My biggest problem is drinking enough water most days. I think I am going to stick to the virtuous life on Monday thru Friday and slack off on the week-end. I’m feeling so much better and not feeling like I have to stuff myself in my jeans. I made the best salad tonight. It is fresh corn cut from the cob after steaming for a couple of minutes (four ears), two mangoes diced, 1 pound of jicama, peeled and diced, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Served chilled.

    Hi, Gerrie! I just discovered your blog and since I’m a fish lover I had to tell you how much I love your fabulous fishies.

    It’s nice to find another … *ahem* … grandma blogger. It seems we are few and far between!

    Also, the salad sounds yummy … I love mangos so I’ll have to try it. It reminds me of a mango black bean salad I make. Thanks for the recipe!

    Did you ever go ah fishin’ on a hot summer day with your hands in your pockets and your pockets in your pants and sit on the banks and watch the little fishies dance?

    another little ditty for you. and i’ve restrained from commenting on the virtuous bloggers…can’t do virtue lately hehehe, but that salad does sound darn good!

    My virtuous days led to a visit at QSDS while I was in Columbus OH at NQA. I saw lots of old friends/students and everyone was aghast at my weight loss. I was very smug, as you might imagine. Now that I am back home,I have backslid and will straighten up my act and get back on track. Your salad is so inspriring and will be my menu for this evening. Gracias and yummamente.

    I LOVE the fishies, Gerrie!! I was hoping the photo would be clickable so I could see them larger!

    I like your idea for the virtue maintenance too. I’ve been considering something similar after reading about something called the “No S” plan. The rules of the No S Plan are as follows:
    *No Snacks
    *No Sweets
    *No Seconds
    EXCEPT on days that start with an S — Saturday, Sunday, and Special Days (which the author defines as major holidays, and personal special days like your birthday, anniversary, etc. or that of your immediate family/ closest friends)

    Really pretty sensible when you think about it! I think I’m gonna try it.
