I totally forgot this was Derby weekend. We were invited to a party in Louisville Saturday night, which seems either really fun or entirely insane.

I vote for some combination of both.

I figure at night the traffic from Cincy to Louisville won't be any worse than normal. (Of course, by saying that, I've just ensured a 3-hour backup.)

This weekend I'm getting a piece of furniture ready for transport to some distant family members, and preparing my executrix files for a county clerk.

Also, gardening and wine.

msbelle, cheap. Used is fine. Alpharetta is 1.5 hours.

I am polishing furniture with my 'sick' kid. Mmm, lemon oil. I should do this more often than, like, never.

For $60, I got a lesson in how to clean out the toilet mech, a good plunging (but I didn't flush anything!) of the basement flush and a warning that it might always be a little slow and since it is a waterhog, avoid using it because I will see it in my water bill.

I guess it was worth it?

flea - there is no pic, but here is used: [link] - there are a few other listings if you search wicker.

This place [link] says they carry Summer Classics brand which has this line: [link]

Sears and JCPenney seem to have traditional looking sets also.

Thank you, msb! Now turn that energy to some work!

sara - do the weighted plastic bottle in the tank trick to help out with the water usage, right?

work - ptui. but, ok.

Yeah, that was another thing I asked about. He recc'd it but did say that with the old toilet, it was designed to gush that much water, so it might not flush very well.

I hope all goes smooth with Owen's mouth.
