tonight on divaville: a 2-hour special on blossom dearie. you should definitely make a point to tune in to hear this one... she's got a voice that'll just melt your little heart.

i have on my desk a huge, 72-ounce, blue-tinted polycarbonate bottle. every day i fill it with water and challenge myself to drink it all. i rarely succeed. yesterday i downed at least 56 ounces, though; pretty good!
but one of my co-workers told me she thought it was possible to drink too much water... that it could actually be dangerous to drink a lot of it.
according to cecil you can drink too much water and actually die (!!) but i'm not consuming nearly that volume of water. besides, i'm still eating a lot of salty cheese puffs, so i think i'm safe.

so i went straight home last night and continued tiling. i should've taken a picture of the progress i made. alas, you'll just have to take my word for it.
all that's left now is a small chunk to the left of the showerhead, a small chunk at the floor, and the whole top row. i feel pretty confident that i can finish sticking the tiles to the wall this weekend. but i only feel somewhat confident that i can grout this weekend... it might be next week before i can get that far.
i have a blister on my right middle finger from using the snips to cut holes in the tile for the shower head & faucet. i have to say that snipping is the most aggravating part of this project. as soon as i thought i was getting close to perfectly shaping the tile i'd take one more snip and it would crumble in my hand. very frustrating. it took me close to a half-hour to cut the one tile that surrounds the shower head.
but that part is now over (praise jebus) and the only tricky part remaining will be using the tile cutter (not the snips) to trim the top tiles down to size.
