Mufasa has a crate in the Great Room - I hate how big and ugly it is but he loves it and I like him to have his own little place away from the kids when he needs it. Plus, at times when I'm gone for a few hours or at night I don't trust him not to chew yet.
I'll ask DH about a one bowl sink....as soon as he GETS OFF THE PHONE!!!

DH says the plunger trick should work on a 1-bowl sink too. Put your plunger on the drain hole, fill the sink w/ water halfway and start plungin'! He adds that if the plunging and Draino aren't working then the blockage is probably further down and you'll need to call a drain-cleaning company to come and router your drain. Hope this helps!!
Colleen, didn't you have a plumbing quetion a while back? Maybe your toilet wouldn't stop running? Check the fill valve in the tank ( I have NO IDEA what that looks like - maybe your DH will) or maybe you need a new rubber flapper inside the tank. NO ONE EVER USE CHEMICALS IN YOUR TOILETS! (The ones that "clean with every flush")---they eat your rubber flapper w/ every flush too.
54 minutes til we get home....ticktockticktockticktock
DDS ARE SLEEPING - HURRAY!

Its me with the running toilet!! Your poor DH, i have changed the flapper, but its still running. Can you ask him what i should do? I wish i could hire him to come and fix it, but he probably doesnt get to Toronto much

Steph, there is a 1" diameter overflow tube. If the water level is set too high the water spills over the top too often causing your toilet to flush. When you get home take your lid off your tank and check this out. Let me know if you need more help. Also, if you would like you can call me. He can walk you thru a couple of different things over the phone. My email address is [email protected]. Email me to get the # and we can get him on the phone to talk to you! And we can chat too!

Kate, you are hilarious with all your typing and plumbing advice! Thanks for asking about Collin and his Dad -- he is semi-involved. Right now, he is in Marine Corps boot camp for 12 weeks, should be home soon. So Collin hasn't seen Daddy since October. When he is around he is fairly reliable but not at all responsible about money. As long as he is working, it will come out of his check. The military does NOT mess around, so he is paying.
Collin really loves his Dad, and like I said he is semi-worthy of the love. But Chris is the one who is there for the bath and book every night, for the breakfast and getting dressed for school in the morning, the one Collin hugs when he walks thru the door after work. We are both lucky to have Chris in our life!
The engagement ring that Chris gave me is a three stone diamond ring -- he says the three stones represent our family! When we talk about the wedding, Collin says, "We are ALLLLL gonna get married!" (he thinks he is getting married too)

Kate, you are the sweetest! I asked DH, he's working tonight, and he says its the ball thing that goes up and down that needs fixing he thinks. Does that make sense?
I got home, did BC cardio only X2! then core only. Then cleanmax galore, DH is at work, i washed and cleaned everything that wasnt nailed down. And nothing is really nailed down in my house.
Off for dinner!
I'll be back

Hi Everyone!
Feeling a better but tired from a long day at work. I am glad it is the weekend. We need to put away the Christmas decorations. I wanted to do this on New Year's but DH wasn't feeling well.
Kate wow you are just full of plumbing advice. I called a plumber this summer after I was tired of all the plumbing problems. DH was determined that we didn't need a plumber (I got tired of waiting for him to fix) and he fixed most of our problems the weekend before the plumber came
Katie congrats on the check! It is so cute that Collin thinks he is getting married
Steph you are lucky to get a coffee break. I don't even want to mention how many hours I have worked in the last couple of days. I still have work to do this weekend :-(
Robin did you get your sink fixed?
Jenn I use CalorieKing to track my meals. They charge you but it is not too expensive. I never liked the SELF log.
Have a good evening everyone!

I can't even begin to say how much it means to me to have a house cleaner now. We got home and the house was SPARKLING! I jokingly tell her she saves my marriage, but truth is there is so much bickering between us that has disppeared since she started coming.
Steph, Great workout! I was going to do one tonight but I am feeling so lazy. I'm just going to eat a bowl of chocolate ice cream and get into bed with a movie. Re the ball thingy: it could be allowing water to go into the overflow tube...seriously, we don't mind giving out free plbg. advice...call me!! or emailme rather. What do you guys think of posting phone numbers? Doesn't seem safe to me. Yet we post WAY PERSONAL things on here....
Colleen, I couldn't wait to get C'mas stuff put away! I have very little displayed in my house and can't stand feeling cluttered. Glad DH took care of your plbg. probs! Hope you have a semi-restful weekend.
Hoppin' into bed now...see you in the morning!

Kate, I agree Collin is cute about the "getting married" thing. He is going to make me down the "aisle"/sand.
Colleen, sorry your work is so busy right now. Hope you get some this weekend!
Stephanie, you are on a ROLL lady!
The books came today, I am reading The New Rules of Lifting first (the other book is loooonnnnggg -- almost 500 pages!)
