we’re having the family over for dinner tomorrow night because it’s EASTER. not that we’ve ever actually really celebrated easter in my own family, except for the baskets full of candy when i was a kid. but tomorrow night, TURKEY, and i was in a quandry about how to cook the other things in the oven so kevin decided to grill the turkey. this sounds like a splendid idea, the only possible drawback being that the house won’t be permeated with that fabulous baking-turkey smell.

we can always go outside to experience it, but of course it’s RIDICULOUSLY cold. the tulips in front, which were being quite brave, today are all pitifully drooped over. very sad.

a very huge roto rooter man is here trying to fix our toilet. i think he’s giving up now. doesn’t this seem wrong? shouldn’t a roto rooter man be able to fix a toilet? right now he’s telling kevin that he doesn’t remember the last time he wasn’t able to fix a toilet. he’s going to take it outside and crack it open, i think, because he’s dying to know why he can’t fix it. he said that people have gotten cell phones stuck in toilets. i know there are no cell phones in ours. but what could it be? a shoe? i’m sure not a shoe. did mollie or one of the kitties drag something into the toilet and then flush it without us knowing?

a dead bird! or maybe a squirrel! soon maybe we will know. i should get my video camera and get a shot of the guy out in our front lawn busting open the toilet, but maybe that would be too odd.

winnie the cat, who is sitting on most of this chair that i’m trying to sit on, is quietly chuckling to himself. i’m sure he knows what’s up.

at least we have two toilets. maybe we’ll be going to lowe’s soon, to buy a new one. and clearly, easter weekend doesn’t get any better than going to lowe’s to buy a toilet!

ok then, i wish your weekend could be at least slightyly as scintillating as mine,

grace waiting for chocolate eggs.
