Going Green or Kinda Gross?

We had a higher than usual water bill, so of course I over analyzed it and came to the conclusion that part (or most) of the cause was my frequent use of the toilet. I've instated the "if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down" policy. Ted only partakes in the policy if he comes upon a currently mellowing toilet.

I like to think I'm "going green", but really I'm just cheap. We only get water bills every couple of months, so I'll keep everyone posted on if this is a money saver.

Dear readers -

The real reason that the water bill was higher than usual has absolutely nothing to do with flushing the toilet. Last month I had to put in some sod out front which had to be watered constantly for 2 weeks. That is the reason the water bill is higher. I absolutely refuse to take part in the "let it mellow," as it is beyond disgusting! Love Ted

HA HA HA HA!! I am laughing out loud right now at my desk! Megan, I think it's really cute you think it's the toilets, but I do agree with Ted:). Our water bill is always higher in the summer because of the sprinklers.
