Weekly Round-Up

Nov 7- I feel lazy today.  Also I need more books.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nov 6- We’ve been up since before the sun. The day got off to a bad start; but now school is finished (at least the part that requires my participation), laundry is half finished, supper is in the crockpot, and it’s supposed to rain this afternoon. I plan on spending the rest of the day relaxing with my books and my stitching.

Nov 5- Nap time.  Hopefully it will be raining when I wake up.

Nov 2- We’ve had our puppy for only 4 days. He is 7 weeks old.  He already knows his name and comes when called, is crate trained, and mostly trained to potty on the puppy pads.  

He was doing none of that at his original home, so this is all new learning for him.

Four Days.

Poodles get a bad rap because of all the poofs and fluffy hair. A lot of people view them as “sissy” or “frou frou” dogs. They are anything but. They are extremely intelligent.  In fact, they are the second smartest breed (next to the border collie).  They are also hypoallergenic, they don’t shed at all, and they don’t smell like most dogs (ya know- that “doggy” smell).  For all those reasons they are my favorite breed.

The only downside is the amount of grooming they require.  It can be expensive, depending on how often you have it done.  I prefer shorter cuts, so I get mine done every 4-6 weeks, and it costs $30-$40 each time.  I spend more money on cutting my dog’s hair than I do on my own!

Nov 2- I don’t understand the Duck Dynasty obsession..  I’ve seen bits and pieces of it, but I just don’t see the humor.I don’t get the appeal of the beards.  I certainly don’t understand the marketing explosion. They have everything from t-shirts to band-aids to action figures.  I’ll be glad this fad is over.

I hate grocery shopping, but when I have to do it, I love going late at night.or very early in the morning.  It’s the best time because there’s hardly any other people, and the shelves are usually freshly stocked.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Halloween got rained out.  But the kids still got lots of candy, and we got the best treat of all this year, our own little phantom.  :)

So it’s hot again.  Yay. #sarcasm #not yay
