A List

I thought I would make a little list of the things I've been up to.

First the really big news!

What?! New garbage cans aren't big news to you? Actually, it's a composting bin. See the holes? They are actually a little bit too small. It was the biggest drill bit I could find but my hubby tells me that we have bigger ones. I spent some time researching composting this weekend and found this webpage with some great information for INEXPENSIVE and EASY composting ideas. Next Spring we will have beautiful, composted soil for all of my gardening ideas.

Second, I am sick again . . . or still. I may never get well. But to keep that from coming true, I am chewing these terrible vitamin c thingys that probably everyone else in my family would love because they taste like that sour candy that I hate. I am also sucking on zinc lozenges, which my make my mouth taste really yummy. I am also eating at least one Activia per day. This is the only immune system booster that I like. I may become like Michael Weston on Burn Notice. For those of you who haven't had the same opportunity to sit in front of the bube tube (or is it boob toob?) as much as me lately, that's a spy character on USA Network who eats a lot of yogurt. I am trying to make myself eat the kefir that I have fermenting on my counter but it may be a shade too healthy for me.

In other news, Charlie is still adorable and I took a few pictures of him this morning while I was getting that beautiful garbage can picture for you. Enjoy!


He got brushed, combed, trimmed and fluffed this morning. He goes to the groomer next Friday and I am really hoping he can avoid being shaved or combed all day. So far so good.
