Oh, the joys of homeownership! On Sunday, all our pipes backed up. Lovely. Yesterday, the plumber came, and when he opened the pipe/valve thingy on the side of the house to run the snake, a geyser of poo spewed out. Actually, that's a great band name - Geyser of Poo. Anyway, there is now a puddle of poo on the side of my house, which I just don't have it in me to go out and hose down. Would anybody out there be willing to come over and hose down my poo puddle? I'll be forever in your debt. No takers? Damn.

...picture after picture of gorgeous, luxurious baths. Check it out. And then weep. I'm guessing that the people who own these bathrooms don't have a puddle of poo on the side of their house.

I am asking for all of your thoughts and prayers on a very serious matter. As of tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, I am hereby giving up all of my computer/iPhone games for Lent. What is my little Farmville 2 farm going to do without me?! I hope my tiny virtual farm animals don't die of starvation! Please pray for me. I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with myself. I did this last year, and I managed to do quite a bit of knitting and reading. And I went crazy on Pinterest. Wow, maybe I'll even read some of your blogs! What a rare and spiritual experience for us all! If anybody has any ideas of how I should occupy myself without Drop 7 or Where's My Water, please share!

Did y'all watch the Grammy's? I'm afraid it was mostly a yawn. But I adored this salute to Levon Helm of The Band. It's "The Weight" with a truly all-star ensemble - Elton John, The Zac Brown Band, Mumford and Sons, Mavis Staples, Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes, T-Bone Burnett. Most of these Grammy tributes are schlocky and gimmicky, but this was amazing!...

I think that's it for today. It's a little light, but I've got to go worry about the poo puddle and my Lenten sacrifice. Please go visit Stacy for more randomness!
Oh man, I don't play all that many phone games but I do play Solitaire Blitz on FB while I am grading papers. I don't know if I could give it up! However, if I had to suggest something, perhaps try looking at StumblUpon or, yeah, read blogs. ):

Ewwww! A geyser of poo would not be fun. What, no brave souls have offered to hose down your yard for you? ;)
Love that wine sign! Perfect!
Oh man those tubs are amazing!!
Reading is always a good thing - especially when you accompany that with a bottle...I mean glass...of wine! ;)
That was such a great tribute! :)

If we lived close to you, Beloved would be at your house with his power washer in no time flat, simply because it would give him an opportunity to use it (part of the problem of giving a man a power washer for Christmas in Ohio is that it's at least 3 months before he can try it out).
I want to give the mom selling her son's truck a kiss and a medal.

No poo puddles, sorry. I don't have any boots.
That glass tub... JUST WOW. And now I've been on the bathtub site for an hour.
As for your Lenten sacrifice -- I'm sorry for your loss.
And the Grammy's was just a snoozefest to me (although Mavis made me happy when she kept on goin'.)

That's how we roll in Wyoming. I truly believe that if my boys don't at one point hate me, then I'm not doing my job right.
I mostly gave up on Facebook games a while ago--they are a time suck and never ending. Enjoyable, but after a while I got frustrated with them.

I'm sorry about your geyser of poo. That is horrible. On the other hand that bathroom made me swoon. Literally. I just want a bathroom all to myself. No more stinky boys sharing!
And for Lent I gave up sweets. It has already been a challenge because there were donuts at work today. Boo. Good luck and I hope your animals don't die!
