Christmas dinner and chlorine filters

Today was the Christmas dinner at church. After sleeping through the service (while I was hopping up and down to take pictures), Nessie was an absolute angel during dinner. She didn't fit under the table or my folding chair, so she was in the aisle. There were kids on either side of us, screaming with glee and dropping food, and Nessie hung out and watched. When the kids would come over and get verrrrry close, she'd watch me until it was too much for her and then she'd turn and Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiick a frosting covered face. Quite a change from the puppy who could barely contain herself when kids were 20' away!

And tonight I finally ordered a shower filter. http://www.naturallyskintastic.com/ It's vitamin C based - since I'm most concerned about the chlorine, this seemed a great fit! From what I can tell, this is an organic solution and removes the most chlorine, no matter the flow rate or water temperature. The downside is that it doesn't remove other stuff. I'm also not sure if you have to replace the whole thing or if there is a cartridge of some sort. Guess I'll find out. And as long as I was shopping, I finally got a real trickle valve, too. No more wasting or shutting the water all the way off to soap up and/or shave!
