It's not any kind of anatomical part envy, ok? I like being a woman and everything that comes along with it (except menstrual cramps, but it's been so long since I've had those that I've forgotten how bad they are).
But today is the birthday of Gustave Eiffel (he'd be 173). He's the civil engineer who designed the Eiffel Tower (that might have been obvious to some of you). Reading this reminded me of my study abroad trip to Paris during the summer after my freshman year in college. Mom, Dad, you might not want to read this...
Anyway, the very first time I got drunk (on fine red wine, of course. We were in Paris. They don't sell cheap booze.), I was standing with a few other people on the trip beside the Eiffel Tower. After passing around the bottle a few times (eww, germs. But I didn't think about that then.), we decided to go to the top. Once we got there, this guy on our trip had to relieve himself.
He did so over the side of the Eiffel Tower.
I know, that seems disgusting to me now too. But at 19 years old? That rocked. Now everytime Jake points out that because I'm a girl I can't pee standing up, I think of Paris...and what could have been...

Now that would be cool! (To pee off of the Eiffel Tower I mean, not just pee standing up, LOL) Is it wrong of me to think that even at 26 with 3 kids??
