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.

Surgery and recovery ~ma for Owen. Calm ~ma for you Cashmere.

This weekend I will be nesting around the house, meeting the other nanny share family for brunch on Saturday, and a whole lotta nothin'.

Teeth~ma for Owen.

This weekend crazy busy as per usual. Tonight is another big (we hope!) benefit for my bike team. Playing Rock Band at our team sponsor's store. Rock Band plus donation bar and donation snacks and raffle. Let's hope for some big spenders!

Tomorrow morning I fly to Chicago and am renting a bike there and Bob and I are planning to do longish rides both Saturday and Sunday. B'day dinner for him on Sunday and then Monday plan is TBD but may involve going to his folk's farm in Michigan to hunt for mushrooms!
