Thanks! Planters are so far working well. I cleaned the house, garage, driveway, my car, and all the critter cages/dog yard. I even scrubbed toilets and showers and did dishes! Vacuumed too.

Parents are on their way here... Normally it isn't 100% clean all at once haha. I may be MIA for a few days while they're visiting.

And as a cashier, I take care with everyone's stuff as if it were my own. And I never use my phone. I keep it on me on vibrate so if it keeps going off I figure something's wrong, but I'd never answer a call when a customer is waiting. He should be reprimanded for that!

Last I heard smells like citrus are better then the smell of baked cookies. Also having a mirror on the wall, so they can better see themselves in the home.

I heard that too. It makes people think clean and energy and vibrant. I just don't have anything citrus to make the house smell like that. I burned vanilla candles, had the cookies baking and windows open. It smells like heaven in here to me but it is my house:). Well, they have come and gone and now we wait.

I met a black Great Dane boy today that was HUGE!! He was much taller and thicker than Dagny it was unreal. Dagny looked like a normal size dog compared to him!!

Darn site! I want to go ocean kayaking, it looks amazing. We have kayakers die each year on our river, so the ocean seems safer to me. Funny, cause we raft every weekend. I know it's strength I guess..

5 episodes of Weeds, Craigslist Joe, and now a documentary called Happy. I only watch TV when I'm sick :)

My kids Kayak at their camp and their favorite thing to do in it is roll it over. It freaks me out every time!

Well, I put back on my dirty clothes from yesterday because I was planning to mow the back yard before I lose Misty and can't find her. Trouble is, I was never able to get my "mow"-jo up and running. So here I am, in dirty sweats in 85F degree weather, in the sun, adding fertilizer to, and tilling my veggie garden area, prepping it for planting some squash. I was able to harvest my red leaf lettuce and turnip greens from last autumn until just yesterday. I'm sweating like a fool, but I got it all done. Tomorrow I'm going to plant some zucchini, yellow crook-neck and banana squash seeds. And my clothes and I smell so bad I guess if I get in the mood to mow tomorrow I'll just have to do it in clean clothes. :rolleyes:

No, I am too far south, I have never seen them but want to.


Here is Dagny trying to see what Rob is looking at today...

Wow, 85!! I would not be wearing sweats in that weather!! I also don't have the first clue of how to mow a lawn, otherwise I would love to help!

Well, my brain may be leaking out my ears. So much TV today...
Hubby went out with our visiting friends, oldest is out on a date. Younger two are hanging with the neighbor.
I have to say that my middle son is not wired the same as his brothers. I'm so appreciative that we have a neighbor kid who's the same way! They are just happy to be nerdy, which I'm thrilled with :)

We go to a river near our house a lot in the summer so we wanted to get kayaks and go down the river. The schnauzer is a good kayaker but I needed one with a big enough opening that the lab can lay in mine. I think we found a pair we like at REI.
The site is back to being fine.. did I mention I cursed myself. We had a romantic dinner and then I got drunk :D

Is there anything you should have checked out? What kind of "off?"
You need to take care of yourself buddy!

Nope. Cooked a ham for dinner. Didn't eat much, but I cooked it.
I think it's because I had no Hebrew National hot dogs today!
