My teeter is almost done! And we bought boards for my dog walk today!

Omg just found floor seats to Justin Bieber in Chicago for $185 (I paid $250 for much farther back lower level seats in Nashville) and my parents are going to talk about letting my sister and I go. Holy snap. I'm like shaking lol I'm a freak and I know it but it would just mean a lot for us to be able to see him again.

Eta: I'd be buying the tickets not my parents, I just need their permission. I'm getting them (hopefully) for my sister for her birthday.

Rainy day = house chore day.

Went shopping, stocked the fridge, freezer, and cabinets. Cleaned up the kitchen and started making beef broth for stew and beef/veg soup. Also made chicken tacos, going to start making garbage potatoes in a bit and chicken noodle soup and apple crisp is also on the meal plan list this weekend. Plenty of leftovers for quick lunches or easy dinners.

Brushed Zander out a bit more, vacuumed, did his nails and trimmed his feet. Laundry, cleaned up the bedroom, bathroom,

Yay for being productive.

What are garbage potatoes?

DH and I have been married 10 years yesterday! We were so young when we got married!

What are garbage potatoes?

Garbage potatoes are potatoes + any other veggie laying around that might otherwise get chucked. I do sliced potatoes, squash, bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, etc...butter, seasoning, wrap it all up in foil and either put it on the grill or in the oven. Yum yum.

Talon and I may be starting our first agility foundations class on tuesday! :yikes: I'm super nervous and excited.

I say "may" start it because we are going to go and see how the class fits. If we don't like it, or think it's going to work out, we may try a different class.

Thank you, little crocheted Martha Stewart petsmart toy, for holding up to puppy teeth and keeping ever-moving puppy content.

I met my first English Shepherd yesterday and forgot to post about it! I was so happy! hehe.

She's a real cutie, and very bright! She's in an agility foundations class that I'm teaching and is pretty awesome. Unfortunately, her owner shaved her.

We ran/walked a 5k glow run at night last night. It was super fun. Let me preface this with I AM NOT A RUNNER. I ran one 4 miler with my friend back in march and that's the extent of it lol.

My time for 3.2 miles was 46:19. Our first mile was 16 minutes so we must have improved from there and the final mile I ran almost the entire mile only stopping to walk when I couldn't pass easily. So my last mile was definitely under 15 minutes which is a big deal for me LOL

Gosh I love this Squash dog. For my work, we walk with our dogs in a parade that is part of a local street festival each year and he is just amazing. He loves the crowd, totally hams it up, doesn't care about any of the noise (including stuff like marching and drum bands, old fashioned fire trucks, etc) or really anything at all. Just walks along all jaunty. Best dog. <3

A few months ago my friends were going to Arby's and asked if I wanted anything. I joked about ordering a beef 'n cheddar without the bun. I've done this before and most places don't even bat an eye if I ask for a slider without a bun, but the idea of doing it to a fast food place amused us all.

I just found out Arby's actually has a whole "gluten free" list on it's website, and has apparently historically been very good about giving people sandwiches in a plastic tray instead of on a bun when people ask.

I'm not going to be hitting Arby's up a billion times now but I think next time they go I'm totally getting me a bunless sammich!

Having such a relaxing and nice evening. Josh is mowing, I'm whipping up random veggies and some fresh wild turkey for dinner mainly from scratch. Random cleaning along the way. And our Dave Ramsey FPU class starts tonight, which I'm super happy about.

Also had a $600 check come in that goes towards paying off Josh's truck.

It's a good night.

ETA: I cannot believe how much dog hair our carpet holds/hides *glares at Lucy*

For breakfast: pancakes with Nutella and sprinkles. Because why not.

Also, it is freaking gorgeous outside. Not hot, not humid, not raining. It feels like it's been a really really long time since we've had enjoyable weather.

Mia is trying to sleep sitting up and it's absolutely hilarious.

Also we did 7 hours of hiking over the past 2 days. Glorious weather.

I hate you. I'm doing a low carb diet and I would kill for those Nutella pancakes right now....with sprinkles? *cry*

Made it through my first week of full time work without killing myself our anyone around me... I actually kinda like it there.

Sorry There was definitely nothing healthy about that breakfast.
