WOW! It has been a wild and crazy ride! Yesterday, I was unable to truly answer how I felt about winning. Everyone was asking, “ How does it feel to be the Queen?”. Finally a day later I have an answer. I am proud of myself and what has been accomplished, but I would be nothing without everyone who came out and supported me and the Charmin, “Enjoy the Go” Toiletry Drive. I am Blessed! I am blessed to have so many people who believe in me. My Mom and Dad, Tiffany, BJ, Amber, JaHana, and Kevin! You all were with me from the beginning. Whenever I needed an extra boost or a helping hand you were willing. I love you all and thank you. Thank you Charmin, DJA, and MSL Group for all of your guidance and patience! This has truly been an amazing experience which I will remember for the rest of my life! Thank Charmin Go Nation!
Many Blessings!

I hope everyone have a Happy Holidays. Good luck to the finalists in New York. Lots of snow on the East Coast.
ARIZONA on Her Way to Snowy NYC!!
So there has been some **winter** weather going on in NYC! But nothing can stop me from making my way to the big apple to represent Arizona and Charmin!!
Thats right, not even Mother Nature will stop us :)
We are hangin' out here at LAX and have already ran into some celebritites! Jane Lynch from Glee (Sue Sylvester), and some of my favorite movies "A Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show."
So awesome!!
The TP here is not so good though. I suggest they fill all bathrooms with Charmin :)
The only bathroom tissue that can help you Enjoy the Go!
This is such an exciting time, and I cannot wait to get to NYC! Delays and all, I am having such a great time :)

Maine Waits
The waiting game has begun
We've had 3 weeks of fun
Now to stay cool and calm
Until they drop the bomb
Keep the faith you all
And we'll weather this squall
Together we will stand
Smiling hand in hand
For Charmin made us shipmates
on this sea of all time greats
Ultra soft, ultra strong and basic
We'll need it should we get seasick
Good luck to all states playing
I've loved all your sayings
I hope you've had as much fun as I
Charmin has shown me the sky
Thanks to everyone around
Soon we'll hear the sound
Of the lucky 5 states who'll go
The best will go I know
I hope I am one of them
But if not I'll still cheer 'em
GO MAINE GO or
GO CHARMIN GO

Dear Charmin Go Nation....Love, Alabama:
Hello Charmin Go Nation Contest and ALABAMA!!!
Now that the semi-finals have ended , I can breathe and type. It has been a wild and crazy ride and I have enjoy it!!! Here's what I've been up to.........
Dear Charmin: Dec. 3, 2010
Soooooooo, my toilet seat is done. YAY!!! I had a lot of fun bringing my vision to light. After three days of drawing, painting, glueing, grouting, arranging, un-glueing, re-grouting, and rearranging MY BABY IS FINALLY OFF TO NEW YORK!!!! (Tear).
Its kind of bitter sweet. I am so proud of my toilet seat and excited to see how it does, but I miss it. I know it sounds weird that I have separation issues with a toilet seat, but its true I wanted to keep it for myself and display it in my house. I don’t think it would be very comfortable to sit on considering it is completely covered with tiny sharp pieces of glass, but I still think its amazing!
Top 10 Ten Toilet Seat:
Dear Charmin: Dec. 4, 2010
Its time to start Phase Two of the Charmin Go Nation Contest. I am planning a Toiletry Drive, called the Charmin Enjoy the Go Toiletry Drive for Dec. 11, 2010. Since there is not a lot of time I must hit the streets and get the word out.... First stop, Tuscaloosa”s Christmas Parade. (Light Bulb!!!!) I’m going to dress up like a giant roll of Toilet Tissue!!!! This is going to be so much fun! Ok, must go shopping!!!!
Dear Charmin: Dec. 5, 2010
Foam Mattress Pad...Check! White Bed sheet set.....Check! Safety Pins...Check! Needle and Thread.....Check, Check!!! I have everything I need to start making my costume!!! Now, I am off to do a radio interview to promote the Charmin ‘Enjoy the Go’ Toiletry Drive at WQZZ 96.9 with Dr. Jones.
Dear Charmin: Dec. 6, 2010
The Christmas Parade is scheduled to start at 6:30PM and my costume is falling apart. I need help and my sister is no where to be found. The foam is not staying in place and I am running out of time. think....think...think...... CHICKEN WIRE!! “DAD!!!! I NEED YOUR HELP”!!! He couldn’t find any chicken wire, but he did come to the rescue with Sprinkler system piping and duck tape!!! Costume is ready with a built in pocket to hold my cellphone. I’m ready for my debut as, TP Girl!!!! This is going to be classic!!!
Dear Charmin Dec. 7, 2010
The Christmas Parade was a blast!! People were not sure if I was a marshmallow or The Abominable Snowman, which was great because then they had to read my sign about the Toiletry Drive!! Mission accomplished. I'm headed to the Great Day Tuscaloosa Show with Kip Tyner to talk about the Toiletry Drive!! Afterwards, its back to work on the drive. Its going to be a amazing week.
Dear Charmin: Dec. 8, 2010
Everything is coming together for the event! The Mayor of Tuscaloosa is scheduled to give the welcome, Master of Ceremonies is comedian Funnymaine Johnson, we have choirs, singers, rappers, a magican, facepainting, and Santa Claus all lined up for the event!!! Y’all I am sooo excited! Well, tomorrow I am off to speak with Warrior Academy in Eutaw, AL about the importance of following your dreams and giving back to your community.
Dear Charmin: Dec. 9, 2010
What a blessing! Warrior Academy has decided to join the Charmin Go Nation movement and support the toiletry by collecting items. I truly enjoyed my time with the kids and staff. Thank you Ms. Taylor for giving me the opportunity to spread the Enjoy the Go Spirit with Warrior!!!
Dear Charmin: Dec. 10, 2010
You maybe wondering, Why host a toiletry drive? Well...I created the Charmin ‘Enjoy the Go’ Toiletry Drive as my way of spreading the Enjoy the Go spirit in Alabama. I believe that one can not thoroughly enjoy their bathroom experience if they do not have the essential toiletries. This single thought changed my entire perspective and focus during this competition. Now, it is the night before the big event and I am thrilled that everything has come together and that we will be able to help a lot of individuals enjoy their go.
Dear Charmin: Dec. 11, 2010
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the drive!

Dear Charmin: Dec. 13, 2010
I did not reach my goal of collecting 3000 toiletries items so I have vowed to wear my TP Girl costume until I reach 3000!! Starting tomorrow I will stand at the corner of 15th Street and McFarland Blvd in Tuscaloosa to collect the remaining items. Wish me luck!!!
Dear Charmin: Dec. 14, 2010
Day 1: The Return of TP Girl!! My first day back in the costume was very interesting. The day started off at 7AM with temperatures around 19 degrees. Y'all, I have been close to frostbite, I am sunburned, and I am fatigued, but...... I collected more TOILETRIES!!!! so it was all worth it. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to drop off item. I’m headed out to 2 Dollar Tuesdays for a LIVE COMEDY, I repeat LIVE COMEDY show at The BrickHouse to promote the drive and to pick up some more toiletries.
Dear Charmin: Dec. 15, 2010
Day 2: The Return of TP Girl. Today after finishing up at 15th Street and McFarland I went to the University of Alabama’s Basketball game. Yes, in costume!!! It was so funny. People recognized me from the Toiletry drive or the Christmas parade and were telling me their stories of trying to guess why I was dressed up. I made the Dance Cam and showed every one how the Charmin Go Nation gets down!!! Dance Chant Please!!!......... “Go, Charmin! GO GO! Go Charmin!! I’m in a ROLL. Go Charmin! GO GO! GO Charmin”!! Now, its time to call into the Bre’ly Evans show and spread the word!!!
Dear Charmin: Dec. 16th, 2010
Day 3: The Return of TP Girl. It was so hard getting up this morning. My body is so tired. I think all that dancing last night is catching up with me, but the drive must go on. We have collected 1115 items as of Wednesday night. Time to call Mr. Jimmy Lawson at 96.9 WQZZ and let everyone know I am still here!!!
Dear Charmin: Dec 17, 2010
Day 4: The Return of TP Girl. I started the day by going to take a picture of a bathroom in Marion, AL. I don’t think I have ever worked so hard to take a picture in my life. I had to pull out and dust off the techniques I learned from my days as yearbook photographer. The day ended on a great note! After counting the toiletry booty of the day I have.... TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY THREE TOILETRIES!!!! I am going to the store to purchase the last 7 items and retire my costume. It has been a wild and crazy 3 weeks and I have seriously enjoy all of it.
Thank you Charmin Go Nation for this amazing opportunity and thank you Alabama for all of your support!!
Enjoy the Go!!!

Thank you so much for giving the people of the Nation a chance to laugh and have fun during the stressful holidays.

Never Enough in Maine
So through this whole contest I've come to the conclusion you can never have enough. I've used it, shopped for it, wiped up lots with it ( mud included), stacked it, tossed it, wrapped in it, hiked with it, dreamed of it and even had friends tell me of their dreams of it.. hahaha
You can never have enough of it.... GO CHARMIN GO!!!
Love ya,
Your forever friend...Mainiac Jenny

The Heat is On, Kansas!
You got it folks, it's blistering cold in Kansas today... so the heat is ON! But, the heat is on in this competition too!
With only two days left in the Charmin Go Nation Contest, it's time for Kansans to warm up their hearts and help Kansas make it to NYC for the final round of the competition for the chance at the title "Queen of Charmin Go Nation". There are two ways you can help in a jiffy!
1. Go to Charmin's Facebook page here and hit "Like" if you live in Kansas. Easy Breezy!
2. Send in a picture of your Best Bathroom... you know that beautiful, unique, clean and up-to-date bathroom all your neighbors are talking about...yep, that's the one! You can find more information about the America's Best Bathroom Competition here.
Also, I've added some pictures of my toilet seat for your enjoyment! Pretty silly, I know... but it was a fun time decorating it, and finding a way to add a little Charmin to the seat! Who doesn't love decoupage?!
For those of you from my hometown of Atchison Ks, notice I included my best interpretation of Ameila Earhart's Lockheed Vega plane towing a banner made of Charmin!!

What a Day in Maine
For an extremely wet day in Maine it was a great day here. Rivers at flood stage,, not good. So far they are not wrecking too much havoc with traveling. Went into the city today, Bangor yup pretty minor city compared to New York.. but for us it's a step up in busy life. Had fun.. alot of fun at one stop.. then went shopping. Wow! So many shoppers this close to Christmas. I do hope you all are ready for that fun day, maybe I'll just use Charmin to wrap all my gifts this year hahaha.. Make each day fun, make each day comfortable, make each day a Charmin day!!

Charmin to the rescue! Virginia saved!
Again, sure , it's a littttttle dramatic of a title but that's how i roll...
this weekend i found myself going to a holiday party and was reusing a gift bag-- but -- I WAS OUT OF TISSUE PAPER!
i'm a dude so that's not really shocking- to be honest if i hadnt found the gift bag to reuse it would have been wrapped in the comics section of the newspaper-- but REJOICE-- a bag to use-- without tissue-- so what did i do???
i used Charmin to keep the wine bottle safe and to add a lil more "umph" to the look of the wrapping! thanks again for coming through Charmin!

Maine is Still Trying
Well my friends, I tryed to download a little video I had ready, but for some reason my computer will not download it, too big maybe? Oh well just wanted to let you all know that Maine is still trying to "get to New York". We haven't given up, coming up with some ideas and working out the bugs.. but all in all Charmin has made December a great month for me. I hope they are helping you out too, with all the colds and flu bugs going around, keep that Charmin handy.
Night all and remember, those bathroom pictures are still needed...keep 'um coming!!

Pennsylvania's Best Bathroom, thus far...
Congratz to Arizona on winning the Toilet Seat. It is truly a lovely seat for sure!
Look at this mega bathroom. If I won, would I want a bathroom like this? lol.
Toilet Seat Minnesota
Hi Everyone. It is Puneet from the Freezer State of Minnesota. Since we are in between snowstorms getting ready for the next blizzard coming this weekend. I thought I would post the Minnesota Toilet Seat.
First off Congratulations Arizona, Great Toilet Seat!!!
For the Minnesota toilet seat I decided to take my favorite hobby sketching and draw one of my favorite places the Sculpture Gardens. The Spoon Bridge Cherry is the most notable sculpture. The artist Claes Oldenburg is best known for his ingenious oversized renditions of ordinary objects. The Sculpture Gardens is an oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle of Minneapolis.
Got to run need to check if I have enough gas for the snow blower and enough Charmin for my daughter to play with while I clean the driveway this weekend. All the best to everyone.
need your help virginia!!!
Well Virginia-- it appears we didnt win the toilet seat competition :( but there are still many other ways to get points-- check out charmin's website for more details!!!
Feeling sick? Cuddle up with CHARMIN KANSAS!
Do you have a unique Kansas bathroom, that's clean and with an up-to-date Kansas style?? Why not let all of the Charmin Go Nation swoon over your royal thrown! Send in some pictures, and together we can bring Kansas to NYC for a chance to share our state wide pride at the Charmin Bathrooms near Times Square. Follow this link to the details : Help Kansas win America's Best Bathroom!

Florida Charmin Go Nation Representative - Cristy S.
Hello everybody, Cristy S. here just checking in, getting a little more comfortable with blogging.
I am so grateful and excited to be the Florida Charmin Go Nation Representative!!
I was doing some research and it turns out that the Charmin brand is a branch in the family tree of a bunch of other products that I love!
I remember when I was a kid, I heard that it was guaranteed that every bar of Ivory soap floats in the bathtub, and if it didn't you would win something. So I remember I would always test every bar just to see if I was a winner! :)
Also when I was a kid, I remember learning how to make a duck face using 2 Pringles chips.
What a fun way to enjoy a delicious treat!
If you look at my photo here on my profile, you might recognize the Covergirl Aquasmooth foundation and Cheekers blush, which I have been wearing daily for the last couple of years.
The blush is a perfect match (I also use it for my upper layer of eyeshadow) and the foundation keeps my complexion looking fabulous.
I can literally go on and on for hours about all of the products I use which are brothers, sisters, and cousins of Charmin!
It wasn't until I did a little bit of research... I saw the list.. and I was like "Hey, I use that.. and that.. and that.. and that.. and that!" LOL It was pretty awesome.
But, I figured I would just mention a couple of funny tidbits, rather than listing EVERYTHING :)
Needless to say, I'm really happy to be welcomed into a family that I have grown up with, known, and loved for my entire life! Thank you!! :)
I hope to fulfill my responsibility as a Go Nation Representative in the best way possible, and to make Florida, Charmin, and everybody involved proud of my sincere efforts.

ILLINOIS ENTRY VIDEO!!! (TAKE A PEEK!)
Here is what got me elected and everything else that I do is going to help me win (:
Michigan's Best Bathroom
So far, Fox Theatre in Detroit is leading the way for Michigan? Can you raise the bar even higher?
Viiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrginians! a little holiday tip!
For those of you trying to plan last minute holiday trips-- let me suggest NYC its great even if its just a day trip! While there-- be sure to stop by the charmin restrooms in times square-- i know that sounds weird but its truly awesome place they've got there. Here's a pic of me there in 2008/2009
It is Winter in Maine
It is winter here now, well until the rain comes anyhow. Today I was thinking about Charmin, as usual so I made a video for you to enjoy.. GO MAINE GO

Charmin Oregon Wants Oregonians to Really Enjoy the Go!
My fellow Oregonians,
I'm sorry it's been a week since my last post. Did you miss me? I missed each and every one of you. All 3,825,657 of you.
Where have I been? Well, I was in rehearsals all last week for a production of "A Christmas Carol" and didn't have any time to do anything except go to work during the day and go to rehearsals at night to be ready for our opening last Saturday. And what it really reminded me of was how important it is to "Enjoy the Go!" No, really! You see, the only time I had to myself was in the bathroom. There, I could take a deep breath, gather my thoughts and take a load off...literally. Seriously though, I know I take for granted the time I have in the bathroom to do all of those things. And who knows, perhaps that's why all living creatures have to relieve themselves - not only to do their business but also to take a breath before heading back into the thick of things. So, the next time you're in the bathroom, really take the time to "Enjoy the Go." You not only will clear your bladder and bowels but maybe, you'll clear your head too.
PS - Don't forget to send in those bathroom photos and hit that like button on Facebook! :)

TOILET SEAT
HERE IT IS FOLKS....yes, those are the Charmin bears riding a raft in the toilet....EPIC
Bored at work: The 5 Stages of Realizing That Ur School Tissue Sucks!!!
Stage 1: Anger!!!Stage 2: Denial
Stage 3: Sadness :-(
Stage 4: Acceptance???
Stage 5: Party it out, and decide to just bring ur own roll of Charmin...besides you could always use the school tissue, just incase you run out of notebook paper :-)
Strange Weather in Maine
So this area didn't get the "Nor'easter", have heard some parts higher up got some snow, but we got only a couple of inches. We missed it this time and thats ok with me. I wasn't quite ready to have to go out and shovel. I certainly would have had to pull out a new roll of Charmin though, cuz my little nose would have been cold and running away. Good thing we keep lots of it handy.
On my days off this week I have so much planned, bathrooms to visit, Charmin to stack and throw, not away, just practicing throwing it, in case I make it New York I want to be ready. Thank you so much fellow Mainiacs for all the help you've given me through this. Keep up the good work and maybe, just maybe we'll see you in New York. GO MAINE GO

Enjoy the go and enjoy your evening!

Nor'ester Headed for Maine
Watch out guys and gals.. we've a Nor'ester headed out way. It's about time isn't it.. some say Darned right! some say Uuuuggghhh don't want it! Either way it's heading our way. Are you ready? Got flashlight, extra water, food, blankets in case the power goes out? Hey wait don't forget you still need to "go" don't be without your Charmin!! If you have a wood stove you could use some Charmin to start a fire... burns good, or stuff a bunch in your socks to help keep your feet warm. And if the power goes out and it gets cold, keep a roll handy because not only will your nose get cold, it will run..catch it with some Charmin!!
Now Maine won't let this snow storm slow us down, we have pictures to take ( Don't forget I really need to find the most amazing bathrooms in our great state ) and send them to Charmin asap. Also looking into a few other things. The ideas are pouring in from old and new friends all over the state, keep it up guys and gals I love the ideas!! GO MAINE GO

Tired but Still Pumped in Maine
OH what a long day, I imagine we have all had our share of those. It's the Christmas season and so much happening every day. What would we do without it though? Sit home be bored... yeah. I do like to keep busy and this contest has helped in that field. I work thinking of it, I sleep thinking of it, I eat thinking of it, I get on the computer and go right to it... wow that means I'm having a BALL.. and the Ball on New Years Eve sure would be fun if I was there in person.. so thank you again all my Mainiac Friends..for all you are doing to help me get there. I will continue to eat, sleep and drink Charmin!! GO MAINE GO
Go Nebraska!
I had so much fun decorating my toilet seat, I almost didnt want to let it go. :) I wish I could see what everyone else did.
South Dakota for the win!
I sent the completed, most awesome toilet seat you have ever seen on Thursday. Yay!
I hope I get to go to NYC and see how the SD restroom is decorated! Now its time to find the best Bathroom in the universe. One of my friends claims the rest area outside of Chamberlain, SD, is the best bathroom in the state, if not the world.
While it looks like a cool rest area...I am guessing the restroom is your basic rest area bathroom....probably not the best toilet in the universe....the search continues....

Falling Snow, Heaven on Earth.
Falling Snow is my favorite thing to witness in the World. Awoke to a sky filled with baby flakes of pure white (actually transparent I'm told, but somehow in the wonder of creation they capture light/reflect it back in solid white, as all of the colors of the Rainbow in One) & a pine treeline dusted with magic.
As Children, my sister Katherine (Kathy as she came to be called) and I would create our own Winter Wonderland of Snow with Charmin's finest. Covering our "Christmas Tree", Creating our own version of the Alps, building Igloo cities where TP Snowmen dwelled...until our architectural wonder works came to a screeching, you might even say screaming halt: "Where in the Hell is the damn toilet paper!!!? This was clearly a clue, hinted at by my Father's danger filled, disapproving default tone of voice, to run away, get some fresh air & play outside...or, die.
Kathy the PhD, & I, always Lovers of Life, took to high tailing, high stepping our way towards the high road of survival.
In our Kingdom, we play acted our future roles as King & Queen on a daily basis. Using all material at hand as our tools of the trade. Discarded toilet paper roll=Knights dagger. Wounds created by dagger, wrapped & tended by my soon to be Doctor Sister, with even more of the white wonder stuff found so plentifully in our Fathers "Office". "Imagination is more Important than knowledge". Whathisname.
P.S.
If you ever run into my sister ask her share her story about the imaginative/medical uses of Electricians/Scotch tape, it is a real knee slapper. Next Post: "The PhD & Punctuation..."

33 hours & going strong!
Hello my beauties,
So I completed my toilet seat today after pulling an all-nighter. With the help of lots of coffee, I managed to complete it and get it sent off in time. I'm pretty sure it's the best thing anyone has ever seen, but you folks can be the judge of that. I can't wait to get to NYC and make some new mates. :D ... I cordially invite any of my competition to a rap battle, eating contest, truth or dare, and things of that nature. If we could use charmin as the theme, that'd be even better! So... who's got tha gonads huh?
Love,

Piscataquis Times in Maine
Today on the front page of the Piscataquis Times you'll find an interesting article. Everyone from Maine should read it. So many subjects have always been a taboo, don't talk about it, and your bathroom time is one of them. But hey we all "go". Until the medical world can develop a way for our bodies not to do it, then we all "go". And why not be concerned about how comfortable we should be in the bathroom. Now me, I prefer the soft toilet seats, cozy and they warm up fast out in the outhouse, a big comfort in the dead of winter! And a handy book, that makes it more comforting when I may have to spend some time in my bathroom. How about all of you? Any other ways to make your "go" more comfortable. Let's hear it Mainiacs.. Comfort all the way!!
"It's Good to be Alive...Ode to Joy"
"Friends, Let us raise our voices in more pleasing & more Joyful sounds..." Beethoven's 9th...Makes me breathe deeply through the clouds and into the Brilliant Stars of my Spirits longing. Tears of Joy fill my eyes until I see everything bathed in the Masters perfectly painted Light. Poetry. Every Experience, Great & small has a mood, a story to tell.
When I was I child I sincerely sought out the finest most beautiful bathrooms as a means to my own peculiar end. It's True. I lived in simple surroundings and I wanted to elevate my imaginings to the Heavens. Why not. To see the possibilities unfold before me awakened a longing to create my own Sanctuary. Look, if a Woman's/Man's Home is his/her castle, then the most private of private places should reflect the best that the King/Queen have to offer. Why do you think we call it the Throne? It is the one seat in the house that allows us to be ourselves; equals, for better or for worse, Human. Yes, potty humour has it's place in the kingdom, but why not raise the bar a wee bit? We can trace our ancestors evolution from hand, rock, bark, bush, Sears & Roebuck, backwoods bidet, slop jar, corn husk, fur ball, snow ball, wonder wheel, etc. Let's get real, Charmin Good, Bacteria Bad.

Bottom Line, Gettin Cheeky with it...
Def con II, Action; prepare to Launch...Royalty comes with responsibility. If you have been called upon, to discharge, with extreme prejudice, a natural order...You must have prior training to allow you to execute said orders without hesitation. In short, the Left hand must know what the right hand is doing & vice a versa. A simple checklist, created with quality in mind, must always be adhered to. 1) Be Aware of your surroundings & Secure, a Safe, Clean, & Reliable Throne of Transport. 2) Remember your Mission: "King/Queen that I am, I now proclaim this seat of my convenience, My Throne; to have, hold, & weigh my contribution." 3) Without compromise, I will engage the bold frontier, to rear, with Charmin's finest, ensuring a clean slate, and a most enjoyable go.

THE GEORGIA TOILET SEAT!!!!
I just finished decorating the toilet seat. I've always been good at drawing ,art, and crafts but haven't done much in years. I guess adulthood puts childhood hobbies on the back burner, so it was a great treat to draw and paint again. I used oil paints. Now I have to say that I have a horrible past with oil paints. No matter what I paint, it always looks like a preschooler's art project. I was afraid it would turn out horribly,but I think it looks pretty good. Next stop the Museum of Modern Art. Haha. I hope you guys like it.

Hey Kansan Folks! Don't forget to hit up Charmin's Enjoy the Go Facebook Page and hit "Like" to help me out on my way to be the next Queen of the Charmin Go Nation! Yippee!
Pennsylvania is finishing up the seat
The deadline for our fancy seats is approaching. Yikes! I like sequins to much, this is the trouble. I want Pennsylvania to sparkle in toilet seat form. Does it make me a little overly excited? Perhaps... Will my seat be a treat and neat? Most definitely. Did I really NEED to rhyme to get my point across about the sparkle? Nope, not at all. So what IS the point? The point is, my seat, is gonna shine while it Enjoys the Go!
Did you find any nifty pictures yet? Have you submitted your fancy bathroom for Pennsylvania? I found an amazing feat in bathroom awesomeness that I have sent over to the Charmin Judges. Fingers crossed. Keep those pics coming P.A.! We are the Keystone State after all, we hold the key to America's Best Bathroom! Yes!

Can you believe we are already 2 days into December? The year has flown by at times and other times dragged but I suppose this is true of every year.

Wishing you a happy holiday season!

Just getting starting!
So excited to be a part of this. Had a busy Thanksgiving with my mom in town. Ready to hit the ground running. Hope everyone else is getting along fine with their decorating of the toilet seat.
Georgetown Delaware "Seat of Justice"
Thanksgiving & the "Seat of Justice"
Saw my first Snowflake of the season today. Perfect. 24 November, Thanksgiving Eve.
Picked up my Father's ring in the town Circle & was amazed at my Good Fortune...
My Father, David Louis Ruge was a simple man with an earthy sense of humour. He loved his newspaper & very long stretches of "private" time in our families bathroom. We spanned several generations in that brownstone; Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Grandfather, Father, Sister & myself. (Not to mention the endless hordes of relatives, friends, & guests malingering endlessly)
As you might imagine, this meant competition was fierce for the singular sensation of Go. Because of the intense demand, Power & Mystery surrounded that one room more than perhaps any other in our Home. You could say that the reason I now seek the Perfect Throne myself is due to those many years in Exile awaiting my turn to Reign.
My search manifested itself early on, by the age of 8, I had amassed a fairly extensive vocabulary of local & not so local restaurants, hotels, office buildings, bars, or any other fine establishment that had it's own private necessary room. It became a quest for me to find the perfect place to rest my will & become at ease with the magnificent duty that was mine. Assume the Throne. Destiny, Destiny there's no other way for me...I'd mumble to myself as my eyes rolled by in my head & I fumbled for the Sacred Charmin Parchment that would wipe away all doubt that this was indeed My Throne, My Destiny...
Thanks for Your Time, I gotta go...

A Day Off in Maine
Yes folks, I had a day off. I woke up, same time as usual, early, wondering what today might bring. Beside the normal chaos of everyday life...in the back of my mind was "Toilet Seat". Now how many of you wake up with a toilet seat on your mind?? I imagine most of the Representatives did.. Now how would I do it, what would I use? I went for a ride around my town and the neighboring towns, looking, observing. Ta-Da, it came to me..oh so much fun was to be had. I am happy to say, it is done, ready to be dropped at the post office in the morning.
The only bad thing of this whole crazy day is the fact that I didn't get my "comfort" time. No time to stop when there are so many fun things to do on your day off. Get up, get started and tackle the day head on. So all my friends I wish you a great night and more relaxing day tomorrow. Remember Charmin in the bathroom is your slice of comfort, so enjoy.

Nebraska Toilet Seat Decoration
So I've been decorating my Charmin toilet seat and it seems like everybody has an opinion, which is awesome. I appreciate all the input, although apparently some of my friends think way higher of my drawing ability than is actually necessary. :) I decided to just keep it simple and try to show the true heart of our awesome state. Paint should be dry by morning (fingers crossed) and then I can add the finishing touches and send it back on it's way to New York. Flat Stanleys have nothing on this toilet seat. :)
