Sewage Seepage

So... Last Wednesday Chris was taking a bath, and I was upstairs checking e-mail and facebookin' when all of the sudden I hear Chris yell, "ANGE!" I ran downstairs and the smell was horrid! I looked down and there is sewage coming up out of the bathroom floor drain! Luckily it stopped as soon as we stopped draining the bath tub. I called our landlord and he came right away and fixed it. It really wasn't a big deal, but it was something exciting that I thought was great blog material. Our basement is at a lower level than the sewer so we have this special pump thing to pump the water up and out to the sewer, and it just quit working. The landlord just replaced the pump and all was well again. It wasn't very fun to clean up that's for sure, but it could have been a lot worse. Good thing Chris was downstairs to notice. We could have flooded the whole basement!



On to other news. Chris and I have started the P90X program. You have probably seen the infomercials for it on TV. It's just an exercise program. Oh man! It is so hard! They have different types of exercises for each day of the week and you just follow the set out schedule and follow the videos. We did yoga the other day, and we started it thinking, oh yoga isn't too hard, this will be a nice break from the aerobic stuff. We couldn't even finish the thing! It is an hour and half long, and it was just so hard. Just watching you would think that it would be a peice of cake, but it's not. We have heard from quite a few people that it is really effective, and I don't doubt it. There's no way you couldn't lose weight if you follow the schedule and do the exercises. We've been doing it for a WHOLE 4 days now, and it's already killing us! It will get easier though...right? It has felt good to actually be doing some exercise though. We just need to be disciplined and keep it up. We should take some before and after pictures!

That's pretty much it for news at the Hardcastle Residence. Until next time....
