Determination

I am DETERMINED to post, even though I'm a terribly boring human with zero going on in my life.

Oh, so actually the plumbing problem went from almost costing us $20,000 to being remedied by five hours of dedicated plumbers doing everything they could and a total out-of-pocket fee of a measly $360. The plumbers we called were so determined, and they absolutely refused to leave our house until we were up and running.

And by determined I mean five hours of pipe snaking, retrieving plans from the city to discern precisely where our water line ran, and ultimately calling in a “jetter” to remove the blockage. Oh, and snaking? It’s BACKBREAKING work. And our plumbing plans? They’re hand written. In pencil. From 1918.

I am not exaggerating.

And after the pipe was cleared? They returned the next day to video scope it again just to make sure our problem was 100% resolved.

Moral of the story?

1. Never waster time, money, your sanity on a home warranty.
2. If you have any plumbing concerns and live in the Salt Lake area, these are the only two numbers you WILL EVER NEED:

Plumbing Plus
801.484.7705

Remarkable Rooter
801.467.8511

Also, since we all of a sudden aren’t going to be out $20,000 we’re going on a vacation. Probably in July, almost certainly to frolic in the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas.

I’ll keep you posted.

Lastly, TRACY ANDERSON. Do you guys know about this woman? She’s the personal trainer responsible for the stunning physiques of Gwynnie Paltrow and Madonna and I’m moderately to severely obsessed with her. I purchased both of her DVDs, have been doing them 4 to 6 times a week just like my new best friend Tracy suggests, and am hosting a Tracy Anderson workout hour at my place of employment. Today’s the first sesh so… we’ll see if my peeps are as in love with Ms. Anderson as I am.

I’m sorry this post wasn’t funny.
