Yes, EGM is home.

We had a nice evening together. We went for a walk, then got groceries to make a nice dinner which we ate on the deck with some wine. After the dishes were done, I retired to the living room to blog and watch tv, while he went to the office to do EGM things.

But then later, he came to me and told me there's something he hasn't been telling me. He got all serious and made me come sit next to him. "You know I love you, right?" he asked. I got tense. After a pregnant pause, he said, "Lately I've been pooping with the bathroom door open."

We always said we would never do that. But it is hot, I guess.

Sounds like you're better off than me. My husband resorts to announcing things like, "I have a deuce brewing" or my least favorite "Time to drop the kids off at the pool".

Bleck.

I'm glad you guys thought it was as funny as I did!

Candid, he says those things too. Also gems like "I gotta lay some pipe" and "I gotta do some damage to the toilet". Yuck. But I guess it's no worse than "I have to make" which is what I sometimes say. :)

Your man is priceless =)
Thanks for sharing!

(10 years of marriage, and I'm still not comfortable being that, uh, open with my husband. He, on the other hand, is not. One of those true gender differences, I suppose?)

I don't think I've ever laughed that hard about something I read.

Oh dear, you've crossed a line now! Although I have to admit I am guilty of Too Much Information on camping trips.

We once stayed in the master suite of a really fancy house on Vancouver Island. There was no door between the toilet and the bedroom - just lots of artfully curved walls that didn't even go all the way up to the ceiling. I had to use the toilet in the main part of the house - it was just too early in our relationship to use the en suite! I might do it now, though.

Cae, that sounds very unromantic! I wouldn't have used that bathroom either. Our bathroom is near the kitchen, so when one of us needs to use it, we tell the other to go to the living room for a while, which is at the other end of a long hallway. We've been living together 3+ years and we still want some privacy. :)
