I love my bathroom!

You know how sometimes, you don't like parts of a room but as a whole, you love it? That's how I feel. Yup, I'm talking about my bathroom. I love my bathroom.


Our bathroom upstairs is huge where bathrooms are concerned. It could be bigger, but it could be a heck of a lot smaller, too. We have the normal things, like a toilet and tub/shower stall, but we also have a full double-door linen closet and an extra long vanity.
The light fixtures are ugly, the window treatments are awful and the flooring is nothing to be desired, but that's all fixable and something we're slowly working on. As a whole, I love my bathroom. (Hi Sunny and your post-surgery shaved belly!)

Why am I waxing all sentimental about my bathroom this morning? Because Andy has his work party coming up this weekend. Huh? Let me explain. As a woman, you all know what it means when you are going to be dining and schmoozing with your husband's co-workers and bosses. It means a night where you want to look your best, so your hubby, in turn, looks his best. That means legs shaved (even if no one will see them) girly lotion all over the body, clothes that make you look good but not too good, hair and make-up just so, eyebrows tweezed...you know the drill.

Well, this morning I looked in the mirror and I swear, my eyebrows had gone crazy overnight. It was so bad that I couldn't justify going to story time without them done. Yeah. It was bad. And you all know me, I'm not a vain person. But these things were horrendous and had me wondering if they'd been that bad for awhile. I usually don't let them get like that (and in all honesty, they probably weren't that bad, but when it's on yourself, you notice) So what did I do? I hauled my butt right up onto my extra long vanity counter and plucked my eyebrows with my face an inch from the mirror. You all know you'd do it if you could.

While sitting there, I realized that it was the perfect place to do my tweezing, and that not everyone had a 5' vanity in their bathroom. Sorry people, that's no fun for you. As for me, it rocks. I love my bathroom.

Perhaps "Sunny's shaved belly hair" some-how migrated?? :-)

LOL! That is a funny reason for your post but I totally get it. Currently LOVE my bathroom too. The last one was awful and seperated which made it seem smaller and just AWFUL...this one is huge and connected to the closet...two sinks...floor space...LOVE IT!! I totally seeing why you love yours! Big bathrooms are soooo nice.

You are lucky. I think the builders of my house forgot closets and I think they forgot the guest bathroom. It is so tiny you can barely move, much less hang out and pluck eyebrows! I am very jealous of your linen closet right in the bathroom.
