SHiiiiiiiiiT
Damn Hell Fucking Shit, I forgot to cuss in my last post. This pregnancy is turning me into a softie.
Urban Harvest Farmers Market- Eastside
* * * * Doin' The Potty Dance
What a great Farmers Market! This one is located off of Richmond in Upper Kirby and is open Saturday mornings.
Honestly, I've visited the market only a few times which is a shame because my husband LOVES going to the market, but my bathroom anxiety has really been the reason why we don't go as often.
As some of my readers may know, I'm pregnant and with that comes CONSTIPATION!!! Hallelujah, a dream come true for anyone that suffers from PDA (public defecation anxiety)! So since I've been stuffed up I decided it was safe to visit the market and even eat breakfast there, all the while not knowing the bathroom situation. Of course when we were done shopping and eating I decided I needed to check out the BS. I kinda figured there would be a porta potty which I have no problem with really. I'm always so grateful when a place or event offers porta potties if they don't have a BS that will accommodate the masses of people they are expecting. Good planning I say!
You know I even discovered a portion of the beach in Galveston that offers PPs! We always go back to that spot, A L WA Y S! I can't tell you where it is because then everyone will go and the ratio of people to potties will no longer be in my favor. Sorry, this one is my little secret.
Anyway, back to the market.
So when I checked out the BS I was so thrilled to find not one PP, but TWO!!! Awesome! They were ordinary PPs, nothing special, but the market really went out of their way and set up a huge sink with nice smelling soap and paper towels right outside the potty! 100 points Urban Harvest! Way to think about your customers' needs! I mean you don't always feel the cleanest after leaving a PP. Honestly, my mind always goes to the SICK.EN.ING thought of what would happen if I licked the bottom of my shoes after walking out of one!!! Anyone else think of that? How absolutely FOW.EL! You'd probably die. Yeah, probably. So it was nice to get to clean up and scrub my hands after using the PP.
And now that I know the BS is safe at the Eastside Farmers Market, you'll probably see me and my hubby (and baby) there more often!

I'm silly and didn't get a pic of the sink!!!

Taqueria Arandas in Humble
* * Panic! I'm Prairie Doggin' It.
Taqueria Arandas always sounds like a good idea especially on those Sunday mornings when you and your hubby plan on having a relaxing and lazy day together. But when you AND your husband both find yourselves running to the shitter 5 minutes after you inhale those Migas, you start to rethink your decision! Baaaaad idea, BAD!
Taqueria Arandas' horchata is really to die for and the main reason I go, but everything else on the menu is just so so. The portions are small which I like and the service is usually pretty good. But that's not why you're reading this blog...
Their BS is total BS! It's located in the far back left corner of the restaurant. There's a men's and women's room. When I first visited TA their bathrooms must have been under construction because it was a one stall bathroom and the box the new toilet came in was still in the stall. The next time I visited they had made it into a two stall bathroom! Thank God.
The women's room is fucking disgusting, to put it mildly. Like I said, there's two stalls but the bathroom is dead silent. There's purse hooks and a changing station and even a lock on the main door so if you happen to find yourself in a CRISIS SITUATION with a DIARRHEA EXPLOSION you need to tend to, you can lock that door and take care of it. The toilets and sinks are all new, but the entire bathroom just feels dirty and sticky! I can't explain why, I really can't, but do you know what I'm talking about? A sticky bathroom??? Not stinky, STICKY. And something else totally weird and completely FOU. UL is that there's always random puddles of water on the floor, usually somewhere around the toilet. Or IS it WATER?!? Gross. Who knows, but someone needs to get their ass in here with a mop and take care of this shit because it's NASTY!
I have this weird thing about being on the same level with something filthy or disgusting. Like if I'm walking down a dirty street or standing over a dirty drain at work, I'm ok because the filth is far away from me and I'm standing tall over it, BUT when I bend down to say pick something up off the floor or on the street and I'm level with the filth it becomes too much for me. IT'S TOO MUCH!!! Another example, standing OVER the toilet at home and scrubbing it clean, that I'm fine with, it's when I have to bend down and get level with the bowl and clean around the base is when I totally FREAK out! Taking out the trash, no problem! Cleaning out the trash can... totally nasty! The filth is too close for comfort.
This is what I experience at many bathrooms around the city. I can walk into a stall and at first glance, standing over the toilet, the BS seems fine. It's when I sit down on the toilet I start to realize just how close that waste bin is to my nose, you know, that OPEN bin with all those used tampons in it!!! Yeah, and the trash can on the floor is sometimes ALMOST touching my legs, GROOOOOOSSSSSS! And those strange, unknown puddles of liquid on the floor seem to be right under my nose. OH GOD, I'M OFFICIALLY FREAKIN' OUT!
Does anyone else feel that way?
Anyway, it's important to not judge a bathroom situation unless you fully experience it. And by fully experiencing it I mean sitting down on the toilet and taking a long nice dump! So that's my service to you guys. I'll go into any Bathroom Situation and I'll take that dump for you and I'll let you know where it's safe to GO! And I'm telling you right now, Taqueria Arandas IS NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO GO!!!! And from what I hear, the women's room sounds better than the men's! I heard they had one toilet and it's a small one, and it rocks or moves around when you're on it! NO GOOD people, no good. So of course I would recommend you get your Migas and Horchata to go and take your dump in the comfort of your own home.
