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.
