sunday SUNDAY sunday

this is the second sunday in a row we've had our main line back up. and by back up i mean into our tubs. and by into our tubs i mean GROSS.

oh goodness gracious me.

i think by this point we all know how much i looooove my house. it is beautiful. and welcoming. and has, among other things, an open floor plan and a jacuzzi tub. but what lives under our house is of a different ilk. what lives under our house are pipes. well, and probably spiders but i'm not going there. not today anyway. so pipes. and clay pipes to be exact. and roots.

allow me to digress.

once upon a time there was a children's playground song that went something like this, "clay pipes and tree roots underneath the house...k-i-s-s-i-n-g..."

so yeah. our pipes are FILLED with these roots. and everything that gets caught up in said roots from our toilets and drains. i know, super yummy. so the husb and i were all, "today is so relaxing...when's the last time we had nothing to do?...this is like the best day we've had in a long time..."

and then KABLAM! main line is clogged. there's yucky stuff in our bathtub. we're sticking hoses down into our sewer line. we're snaking. (and by we i mean ben) then comes the ensuing fear of water usage. which is roughly translated thusly:

"maybe i'll just wait to go to the bathroom until i'm at work tomorrow...?"

(oh, don't worry. i was joking. kind of.)

so here we are. our line is a bit clearer than it was this morning. ahead of us lie numerous estimates on relining/hydrojetting/blade cutting/etc. there are worse things, yes. and always. i just happen to be tired of wondering if my shower or washing a jeans load will cause our line to clog. again. ya know?

in cheerier news:

-the patriots lost
-the colts will be on monday night football!
-the giants won
-tiggy is sleeping ON my foot...not sure how that is comfortable for him but it's heaven for me :)
-CBS tour is this coming friday!!
-i've officially given up on planning anything. i've learned my lesson(s). and for some reason, god has been screaming at me to stop planning even the simplest dinner. so, god, i give up. or i give in. because, really, something's gotta give.

(didn't it sound like i was singing a show tune with that last bit? i really thought so..)

also, lots of season premieres this week. i mean, ya can't argue with good television!
