I sit here alone. My daughter is out and my husband is working. My son, well, he didn't make it home for the holidays this year. My heart was broken. I cried. A lot. This was the first Christmas since I had children that we were not all under the same roof for the arrival of Santa. I am sure it is the first of many; but that doesn't make it any easier nor anything to look forward to.
On Christmas morning, Natalie asked why we did not have knitted stockings. Guess what I will be knitting throughout the year?
This may shock some, but perhaps not. I love Home Depot. Not because I love to go through the store to find things to do with my house by myself, but because I always find something there that is very helpful! When we painted our house, I found this "edger" painter thingie and I trimmed all of my walls dark chocolate milk brown and all of my ceilings sparkling white and the edging is perfect. Perfect. Per. Fect. I have been asked on many occasion if a professional did my walls. A professional did not do my walls, I did. With a great product from Home Depot!
Well, I was walking around Home Depot by myself a few weeks ago. I went in to look for some caulking stuff or weather striping stuff or something that took the draft away from the sliding glass door by which my work desk happens to be right by. I have a heater. And a blanket (home knit, btw). But, nonetheless, I was cold. I always look at the rugs. And the new refrigerators (I am not really sure why on this one, but I do). And the light switch covers. And the paint colors (though I have no intention of painting again for a long while; even though my edges are Per. Fect!). I just like to stroll Home Depot. Especially by myself!! When Trenty goes, he is often on a mission and I don't get to browse like I would like to! They have toilets with #1 and #2 flushing buttons!! I know, right?!? Anyway, I digress.....
As I was browsing, slowly, down all of the aisles, I came across this frickin' wonderful new (? I don't know if it was new or not, but I had not seen it before) product that I just had to have!!!
It is a drain Zip-It! I have rather long hair and I shed. Yeah, go ahead, judge. I shed! Apparently, I shed a lot! I bought this wonderful product to help with my slow drains in my bathroom. Yes, drains. Plural. My side of the sink and the shower drains were slow. I shed in the sink, as well. Okay, I am judging myself a bit now!! Anywhoooooo.... I bought this great little product. I came home and after a few days, I remembered I had it in the truck! So, I asked Natalie if she wanted to clear my drains with me! Our lives must be very, very boring, because we were both WAY too eager to try this out.
I started with my sink drain. Let me preface this by saying that I never wash my hair in the sink. Never. I brush my hair in front of the sink. I curl my hair in front of the sink. I hairspray my hair in front of the sink. I never wash my hair anywhere near the sink. Yet, I had a hair clog. It was impressive! Natalie was a little speechless with the hair ball in my sink drain. I was a little surprised that I had any hair left on my head.
After this, we went to the shower drain. I took the little plate off (I know my way around plumbing!) and I stuck the little Zip-It down the drain as far as it would go. I don't know, maybe close to 2 feet? I was kinda excited about what I was getting ready to pull out! I slowly started to pull this long, plastic apparatus out of my shower drain and .... Oh.... My.... Gosh.... there was some hair on it. And by "some hair" I mean....well, let me say it this way... Natalie, not really a huge drama queen, sucked in her breath, opened her eyes WIDE, and yelled from the top of her lungs, " OH MY GOSH, THAT IS AS BIG AS YOUR PONY TAIL!!!!!" It was indeed, my friends, as big and thick and long as my pony tail. My puny pony tail, NOW, I might add. I didn't know one could lose so much hair. Of course, Trent does share the shower with me. And everyone knows that Trent is getting a little shy on the top...where does all that hair go? Huh? That's right...I am sure it goes down the drain! And, apparently, gets suffocated by my pony tail.
We then went into Natalie's bathroom. She had no...absolutely NO!!...hair down her sink drain. I really think I am the only person I might know who has lost so much hair down a sink drain...I am concerned. But her shower....well, let's just say, she is a shedder herself. Hereditary, my dear...hereditary!
Anyway...get this product. Now. Go and get this product! And, if you get something out of your sink drain, please let me know...I gotta know it's not just me!!
There was a couple of other things I wanted to chat about, but I rambled too much about the sink hair...so, it shall wait for another time. It was about lost love and dignity and that sort of crap! Maybe best not to even bring it up again!
And here I will leave you with a little something...
And, I don't mean the dancing kind!!! ROFL!!
XOXO
