Still warm weather, still in a good mood!

TODAY, I DID...

Take Ani to the self service dog grooming place, and spent hours trying to get out all her loose undercoat. She's looking very pretty now. :)
Donated plasma. (Ick...but then I had extra money!)
Played "baseball". (Our baseball game was played using a T-ball bat, and a tennis ball. Ian batted, I pitched, Austin was the outfielder, and Ani was a great cheerleader. lol)
Made seitan for the first time. Could've standed to be marinated a little longer, but it was pretty good for a first try!
Made grilled asparagus. Mmmmm....
Played Gears of War with Ian for many hours...oi.

Warm Weather=Good Mood!

I've been slacking off on the blog because I've been kind of down lately. But today I'm feeling good and wanted to make a record of my good day. I'm thanking the nice weather for this one! :)

TODAY, I DID...

Take Austin and Ani on a loooong walk with Ian.
Cleaned up my backyard. (Cleaned up all the trash my dogs had managed to scatter around during winter, scooped up all the accumulated dog poo, mowed the lawn...it was quite a chore. But now the yard is looking so much nicer!)
Started getting the garden ready for planting.
Practiced jumps with the dogs.
Made a super delicious dinner of BBQ "chicken", grilled carrots, and rice.
Made caramel corn.
Finally watched Underwolrd: Rise of the Lycans.

Get to see my sister who is visiting from Washington!
Feed, burp, entertain, and snuggle with my newest niece, Lexy. (Or Alex. I wanna call her Alex lol)
Color with Porter and Abi.
Push Hayden on the swings.
Take Abi to get ice cream.
Make Ava laugh.
Play tag with my nieces and nephews.
Go to my little brother's Court of Honor for getting his Eagle Scout.

Excited to see the fam

I'M GLAD...

That my sister Michelle is here all the way from Washington, and I get to see her and my nieces and nephews today!
For Naked Juice. It is sooo good...and good for you too!
That I had enough left over French toast from breakfast to share with the rats.
That it hasn't started snowing yet today. *crosses fingers*
That my car is all registered, insured, and good to drive. Even though that is all very expensive. :P
