I am the "Great" Log Dragger!

So I missed yesterday since I was outside doing lots and lots of yard work before our friends BBQ. I had the best fire going all day. We got some wood for free a while back and noticed it had termites. We do not want TERMITES! So I burned it all. Every last piece and the little bits from R chopping the wood. I tried to teach myself when he was gone helping a friend get wood to build his fence for a new home he had bought. Lets just say I am not a natural wood chopper. I can start a darn good fire but chop wood. Nope. I was getting better at hitting close to the same spot which is great but after 10 min and not much to show for it I decided to swing the axe one last time and lodge it in really good and then I drug that sucker to the fire and shimmied it up on the hot coals. I still got the job done haha!

They just enjoy watching me work...We woke up this morning to a dead baby copperhead snake in our backyard. That freaked me out really good! I don't want my loves to get bit...R got rid of it first thing this morning and we aren't really sure how it died. It looked as if it had just ate though...Maybe a bird or a bat? It was in our backyard so wouldn't have been an other large animal and I don't think it was one of our pups. Either way....Snake repellant will be in our future.
After that early morning excitement we decided hey lets just chill and relax a bit until we got a wild hair to hit Walmart for a rotisserie chicken. It is a mistake to brave Walmart at 3pm on a Saturday...I mean wow...Crazy town up in there. But in the end we got our chicken. Nothing like some oven roasted cauliflower to go with it and some garlic cheddar chive drop biscuits left over from breakfast this morning (I steal one bite or so off his just for the taste. A whole one would be way way to much carbs!) We munch on a lot of roasted veg in our house. Just cannot get enough of that natural sweetness that roasting brings out.

Our relaxing day was in part due to it being the FIFA world cup (soccer/futbol) My R is a huge soccer and ruby fan so our TV has been glued to ESPN. Today I was rooting for England! Olay! Olay Olay OLAY! The hubs routed to Italy in that game. It's crazy how much he knows all the different players from different countries. I know two and they both are retired lol. And that was because I thought they were delicious way back when. Now though its my one and only R with his sultry accent...Le Sigh***

Well off to log my dinner on MFP (minnievw67 if you want to follow one another) and take our evening walk w/ Butter and Nana. It's the consistent little changes that will make your weight loss stay off. And I sleep better after.
