Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

Black friday win! I have been shopping for a stick vacuum for a while (years). Found one on my wish list on a black friday sale. 50% off. And, I had enough reward points saved up that it only cost me $8.97. Retail is $300. 😲🙌

That’s such an asshole move I love it 🤣🤣

He pretends to hate it

My dog is obsessed with Twinkies and Nutter Butters now. I had been obedience training him but it wasn't going well. He was sniffing the Twinkie so I broke off a piece and cued "Finish." Turns out he knows Finish but just doesn't wanna do it, except for a Twinkie. Don't tell my vet, okay?

I am loving my kid-free day with dogs on a schedule! I have been very productive. 🥳 I set an alarm to ring every hour to remind me to get up and move. Housework or exercise bike or both. It's noon already and I don't hurt all over from working at my computer! 🤩🥳

My dogs are very happy with their schedule. No conflict over the food bowl. Baymax seems to be eating more since moving away from self-feeding. She might be gaining weight. Boi is participating in training sessions. They're both getting brushed, wiped, and nails filed. I need to scale their teeth and add toothbrushing back into my dog routine.

I had a busy day in the best way possible. I worked on 4-H dog project most of the day. Kick-off meeting had good turn-out - better than expected. Hopefully we didn't scare off too many families. I led the youth session, about 25 kids, grades 3 - 12. Lots of involvement and smiles, so I'll call it successful. Paperwork now. So much paperwork.

Rude! Lol, But seriously I am so happy for you, I remember the days when you counted getting out of bed and walking to the garden as a success, and you’re working so much consistently now! Yay!

I want to can soup because ready-to-eat soup from the store is so expensive. DH likes to have canned soup for an easy meal.

Last year I canned vegetable soup by cutting up what I had at the time and putting a little in each jar. I even shelled out the beans from green beans that got too mature. Tomato, squash, peas, onion, corn, I forget what all I put in the jars. I covered with boiling chicken broth, capped and canned. Sure makes an easy meal! You

Where do you find the time! I feel like I barely can sit down to eat!

well... I don't work outside the home, and my contract work is about 10 hours/week. 4-H volunteering is in a lull this month before dog project group classes start. And I don't cook other than what I mention on the forum, and I don't clean a whole lot either. If I didn't brag about it, it didn't happen.

My ewe that lambs late (months late!) lambed on schedule this year 😍 DH almost culled her last year. I dont remember what happened, but she didnt raise lambs last year - she is fat! She has 1 (so far?) I moved her to a lambing pen. She is easy to handle and has her momma's temperament. That's why I like her so much 😍 DS15 (birthday!!!) might show her at the fair. 🤞
