09.26.2008 :: 268. Leak Frog in my basement
Today? Not a drag. It did, however rain magnitude proportions. Thank goodness we are having a bit of a break in the raindrops right now. The water needs to sink into the soil so it does not get any ideas of entering our basement. It doesn't do it often but when it does, it means business. But now I have peace of mind in the basement flood department. You see, we have a frog living down there. A frog that tells us when water is in the building.
No, really! He looks like this:
He's a LeakFrog.
One drop of water and this little frog turns into a screaming banshee. He will emit an earpiercing screech until you notice and get rid of the water.
This is good.
So far, the little frog is silent.
Let's hope he stays that way.
Also not a drag?
I had a wonderful facial today. My first ever. It was an American Facial. Let's just say that I am glowing, my skin is super soft and my blackheads around my nose have vamoosed. Too bad there is not a Leak Frog for those blackheads. ZitFrog?
More non drags?
We went out to eat at our favorite restaurant tonight. Wonderful food, great beer (tis the season for PumpkinHead Ale) and great company. Not too much beer though, of course.
Hmmm. LushFrog?
May your frogs be quiet tonight.

That is actually a really good idea and of course why not make it a frog!

Awwww, he's so cute. But he won't be cute if he starts going off like a banshee in the middle of the night. :)
Too bad beer gives me such a rotten tummy-ache.
Yay for a wonderful facial. I've only had one or two in my life. They are sort of luxurious. I'd rather spend the money on a good massage, though.

If the cute little frog goes off while you're at work, does it mean you'll come home to psychotic pets?
Years ago, I came home from work to discover that one of the cats had turned on my husband's electronic metronome. All of them were bug-eyed from the constant "bip..bip..bip..bip..bip.." and begging me to make it stop.
And the prankish side of me is wondering where one could leave one of these frog for fun? Men's room floor?

All summer long I've been biking past 3 squished frogs on the road near one of our city's many lakes. It's sad and a little gross.
I hope no one squishes your frog.

Sweet!
Glad you had a drag-free day.
Happy weekend!

I'm just going to sit here and quietly mourn my sad lack of a basement. I really do live on the wrong coast.

Ahhh, the joys of a dirt cellar.

What a great invention. Hope the only frog you hear is kermit!
