600 Posts!

I just noticed that my last post, was my 600th!  Woo-hoo! :)

I am so glad to see the sun shining!  We don't have any big plans for the day but I think we're going to have to get out and soak up some of the sun....even if it is still chilly :)

I felt like such a terrible mama last night.  I was trimming Cloz'r's nails, something I've done many times, and I managed to cut one too short.  I cut the quick :(  She didn't yelp but she jumped up and gave me the saddest look.  She let me finish and then I tried using flour to stop the bleeding.  Of course I gave her treats and lots of love afterwards and she seemed to forgive me but my stomach felt awful. 

We got those dishes sold!!  After talking to a few people about them, my hopes were pretty low on getting anything decent for them.  There were quite a few that had chips or cracks.  There were so many of them though that there would have still been a full set that was in great shape.  We put a listing on craigslist and it only took three days for someone to contact us.  The came to look at the dishes on Sunday and Lloyd negotiated the deal.  We ended up getting more that we thought we would :)  They packed up the dishes and got them out of here.  I'm getting my bareMinerals make-up and getting my hair done this week.  I'm not sure what else I'll do with the money yet.  Maybe get some more craft materials.

Clean Flowerbeds and a Clean Dog

So far, this morning has been pretty productive.  I took Lauryn and Cloz'r outside with me to weed the flowerbeds.  This was actually a bigger task than I thought it was going to be because neither of them wanted to stay near me or in my sight.  I gave up after about 45 minutes of wrangling them and not getting much work done.  It wasn't long after that though, that Lauryn was ready for her nap so I got her down, took the monitor out and Cloz'r and I went back out and got the job done.  I swept up the mess and then grabbed a book and some ice tea and sat in the sun for a few minutes.  When we came back in, I decided to give Cloz'r her long overdue bath.  She's due for a flea treatment anyway and with Lauryn napping, I figured it a good time to do it.  Another not so easy task!  I did discover one good thing during the process though.  When we moved into this house, I didn't like that the shower had doors on it and since the tiles were put in around the doors, we didn't do anything about it.  Those doors sure come in handy when Cloz'r decides to shake the water off!  I saved myself a good amount of cleaning the bathroom time by shutting the doors when she started to shake :)  I still have a few things to do in the house.  I haven't made the bed yet, there's two loads of laundry, sweeping and vacuuming and a few dishes.  At least I got a good start :)

I recently read some cissus quadrangularis reviews and was quite surprised to learn that cissus quadrangularis can strengthen bones and help heal fractures.  I found that pretty interesting.  I had heard about it and had no clue what it was so I checked it out.  I read that a lot of athletes use it to assist in keeping their bones healthy.  Just thought I'd share because I found it interesting :)
