no water: where?

this past week, our travels took us across the SE US. along the way, (as usual) we stayed exclusively at holiday inn/express hotels. something i noticed at the first HIE we stopped (greyson KY) was the AWESOME shower.

this was tuesday night. tuesday night was also the night of the killer tornadoes that dusted KY and TN... and they were ALL were all around us that night too. i hardly slept. every time i heard it thunder, i flipped on the tv to see if we were about to get killed by a storm.

so anyway, the shower head was amazing, it was nice to have a shower that actually had water coming out of it (not a low flow showerhead). my SO thick hair would be wet in mere seconds (compared to the 4 minutes it takes in our shower, not to mention the rinse time, etc. for both shampoo and conditioner. i really have THICK THICK hair).

so the next night, we ventured on to ft knox, and stayed at a brand new HIE in radcliff, KY. this place was ok. we had to get a handicap room because they messed up my reservation (for a king). but again, the shower rocked. and they definitely must not be in a drought (because i think i could have filled the tub with a 5 minute shower unlike at home in which water barely trickles out).

so last night, we stayed in newton (?) TN at a holiday inn. it was such a cheese hotel, very old no doubt. had been partially updated, but, eh, i wouldn't really make big efforts to stay there again. they did have the cool HI showerheads too, which poured water.

now unless i am mistaken, TN is in a drought just like NC. right? so, what are they doing there to save water? well, they aren't requiring the hotels to install low flow showerheads.

so to my point. why is raleigh (and durham) proposing all the regular home owner to cut their water usage? seems that if 1 holiday inn, for example, installed low flow showerheads, they'd save TONS of water, much more than if the residents just saved on water.

by the way, if we ever DO get out of this drought and you would like an amazing showerhead, find a kohler multifunction forte' showerhead.

Small Tall I want them ALL

a NEW survey!

i realize that many of you won't be able to complete this, but, i found it on myspace and thought it was sweet. I am a proud mommy 1. AGES? Kendal - 4-1/2 months 2. Name? Rowland Kendal T. 3. Birthday? September 15, 2007 5. How long did labor last? 8 hours from when water broke to baby came out. hard labor started way after my water broke. 6. Who was in the room when baby was born? my husband, the doctor, and a nurse 7. How long did you push 2 hours, 10 minutes away from a csection (the dr came to give me the bad news when i actually learned how to push the right way!) 8. weight 7 lbs 10 ozs 9. Length? 21 in. 10. Any hair? quite a bit of RED hair 11. Who does baby look like? very much like me (and my dad), but he is looking more like his dad now. he definitely has my pasty white skin and square face and fat cheeks, but he has his dad's lips and toes. even his eyes look like N's a bit. he has N's curly hair too, but i still wonder how melissa gave him the red hair?!?!? 12. Be honest...how much weight did you gain while pregnant? dude. 50 pounds. no joke. within 2 weeks, though, i lost all but 10 of it. it was ALL water. i was SO waterlogged. i had rockin' cankles! 13.Due date, On time or early? ON my due date. 14. Who drove you home from the hospital? my hubby 15. How many baby showers did you have? 2 16. When did baby start sleeping through the night? about 6 to 8 weeks 17. Did you breastfeed? milk didn't come in. i pumped for 6 weeks to give him what i could, then just switched to formula. 18.

Anyone spend the night with you first night home? just me and the proud papa! 23.Did you cry the first time you held your baby? i don't even remember holding him. i had such a migraine from the labor/pushing... by the time i could open my eyes, i just didn't know what to think about a baby because i've never been much of a baby person. but within 12 hours, i couldn't stop looking at him and crying... because he was so beautiful! 24. Where was the baby born? rex 25. Did you video tape the birth? heck no. no photos allowed (per my request. in retrospect, though, i wouldn't have cared during the bad part. i just wanted it to be over!)

Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho

see any resemblance to the REAL jambi?

i know what you did last night

i know how many times have i offered you a stick of sugarfree gum. you never accept. you always remind me about how aspartame makes you sick. i think it gives you a headache. it used to give me headaches too, but somewhere between 140 pounds and 160 pounds i started tolerating and even enjoying diet sodas. i remember the first diet soda that i had that didn't make me sick. it was a coke zero. from a home depot drink machine somewhere near fort leonardwood missouri. last night i saw that you bought both a water and a diet pepsi. always looking out for others, huh? wanted to make sure that even though she said she wanted water that that is what she really wanted. i'm sure in your head you were thinking "sometimes pregnant women change their mind." but she took the water. and you drank the diet pepsi. i know what you did last night. and it was sweet. not artificially sweet, but white chocolate sweet.
