potty talk

i have too much to do and nothing to say, so i'm going to give you a tour of my least favorite room in this house, our bathroom.

there is a soap dish above the sink, but it holds stones.



i think the faucet is cute.



the piece on the right is a replica of an ancient greek representation of baubo, a deity known for her boldness. because it is a tiny bathroom with no room for a magazine rack, i put the little basket on the wall to hold some little books.



these little hanuman books fit perfectly in the little basket, and make for good toilet reading.



i like these flower tiles; there are five of them in various spots.



here is a picture of a bathroom in the bathroom. it was taken by local photographer, tim o'kane. i would like to give it a better frame one of these days.



i've had these fish for over two decades and just can't seem to part with them.



this was tashi's night light for a long time. now it helps us find our way into the bathroom in the wee hours.



i haven't shown you the things about the bathroom that i don't like, which includes molding grout around the bathtub, a tile floor that never looks clean no matter how hard you scrub it, a hole in the ceiling where there is supposed to be a light, and lights above the mirror which are groovy, if only they were wired to work. but i will show you the peeling paint.

There is nothing in my bathroom that is remotely Web-ready. I want to know: Are those books always arranged so neatly? I'm amazed

i spread the books out on the toilet seat for a photo. usually they are akimbo in the basket. and believe me, there are parts of my bathroom that are not web-ready. i gave everyone a very selective view!
