dos cosas

That’s Spanish, y’all. Look it up.

1. Whitney, DON’T BE ALARMED. Brookie and I rearranged our living room when we took down our Christmas tree this evening. Yes, we realize that it is nearing the end of January, and we just now took down our Christmas tree. Don’t judge. It was pretty. And really, we wouldn’t have taken it down if I hadn’t had to drag the box out of the storage closet in order to get to something else. But the reality is that I did have to drag the tree box out to get to something else, and I thought as long as it was out, we may as well put the tree back in it before putting it back into the closet just to save us the trouble of pulling the box back out again to take the tree down later. We’re very sensible that way. So anyhoe, after we took the tree down, we decided that we were dissatisfied with the arrangement of the living room since the arrival of GIANT TV 2007. So we rearranged, and I think I like it so far. It feels very spacious.
2. Dan sent me these today. His sister apparently took them with her camera phone while at Wake Med recently.

Apparently the green handle is “coated to protect against germs.” Coated with what, we’re not so sure, which is a little worrisome to me, especially considering the fact that it is brought to us by the same folks who made the accompanying sign:

These special potties were installed presumably over the holiday weekend in an effort to comply with Raleigh’s water usage policies in the face of our imminent death as we only have roughly FOUR HOURS OF WATER LEFT!!

Anyhoe, can y’all read this thing? It seriously explains to you that you must lift the handle up to flush “#1″ and push it down to flush “#2.” As if those weren’t clear enough, it goes on to expound upon what exactly constitutes the #’s 1 and 2.

I am personally doing my part to conserve water by doing the following:

• not shaving
• showering every other day
• licking my plates clean and then swiping them with a Lysol wipe
• drinking juice
• following the mantra, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”

Ok, so I’m totally lying. Well, except for the shaving part. That’s pretty true.
