sittin' pretty

Such excitement. Went shopping yesterday & bought a new toilet. There's nothing wrong with the old one, exactly, except that it's...well, old, & uses entirely too much water each time it flushes. So I've been wanting to get a new one for a while now.

Of course, intense tree-hugger that I am, I'm just as concerned about tossing a non-biodegradeable toilet in a landfill as I am about wasting so much water by keeping it hooked up. So I've concocted a plan.

(Insert evil laughter here.) I'm going to turn it into a flower potty.

Oh, the fun! Oh, the opportunity for bathroom humor & puns! I'm going to stick it right out in front of the garage, where everyone--& I do mean everyone--will see it. The new directions to my house will include, "the one with the toilet out front." He he. I'm going to plant flowers in the tank & bowl. And I'm even thinking of decorating it with either paint or decals...maybe little sayings like "tinkle, tinkle little star" & "a good place to sit & tink". Maybe I'll change the decorations depending on the season.

Boy, oh, boy, am I going to have fun with this. I'm already taking notes & making plans. The neighbors will hate me & think I'm just that much stranger than they did before. But who cares? I will be saving the earth & beautifying my yard at the same time.

Altho, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :-D
