Have you ever had one of those mornings where you think based on certain things its going to be a long and irritating day?? Brie and I had one of those mornings on Sunday. We woke around 8:15 and noticed a small wet spot near the end of the bed. We both had an idea of what it was and since Huxley was the only dog on the bed we had a pretty good idea of who it was. I got up and let both dogs out then went back up to remove the sheets since dog pee is not something either of us enjoy sleeping in. As we uncovered the sheets we kept noticing more and more wet spots until we hit the mother load of pee spots. At that point Huxley and Daisy were confined to their Box. We couldn't imagine Huxley being the only dog involved!! It wasn't the first time we cleaned up pee and lord knows it wont be the last. The dogs were in timeout for only a short period of time.
Once we had the bed stripped Brie had the idea of moving the bed. We don't have a lot of options in our room since we are limited on space. We decided to move the dresser and end table after moving the bed. Once all said and done we both liked the change. We loaded up all of the dirty laundry and headed down to start a morning of laundry and dishes. Two things both of us really enjoy. One thing we will never be without again is a dishwasher!!
Brie was folding laundry and brought up the idea of me making the banana cake that dad makes and we always enjoy. I knew we had some banana's in the freezer for such an occasion so it was settled, I was going to attempt my dad's banana cake. The excitement of eating such an amazing cake blinded us on the fact that we didn't have much sugar and we had no frosting so we decided to walk down to the P-Store and pick some up. Luckily I found enough sugar to make the cake before we left but we still didn't have any frosting so the P-Store journey was still on.
We loaded up all of our winter gear (snow pants, hats, gloves, boots, coats) and headed out the door. We hooked both dogs up outside while we were gone so we wouldn't come home to anything eaten, wet or pooped on. Huxley is kind of a baby and was not happy to see us go. Our trip to the P-Store is not an ordinary trip down the road. One day a few weeks ago Brie and I felt adventurous and took this snowmobile path that we hadn't been on before. We had a couple cans of pop and a few other meaningless items so we could have survived getting lost!! This path ended up being a really cool and quick way to get to the P-Store. We are planning to take a video the next time we go and share it will all of you!
Once we got to the store I headed straight for the frosting only to find Lemon and Coconut as the only options left. I asked Brie if either of them would work and she said "No". I did not argue since I didn't feel like either one myself. We both agreed that making homemade frosting was our best choice so we knew in order to do that we would need some sugar. They had no sugar other than a 30 dollar box of sugar packets. I was not happy. We picked up a few items necessary for living (pop, free cans of enchiladas sauce, and chips) and some other things and headed back home.
Both dogs were very excited to see us walking up the path. Daisy managed to get herself twisted around a pole and Huxley was just shivering. Did I mention is can be kind of a baby?
Our afternoon was pretty laid back and uneventful. Our good friends Dani and Ron dropped off a movie for us to watch and Brie popped some popcorn on the stove and we entered afternoon on the couch. We decided to end our day with a good meal. We weren't sure what to make so we got some cow and moose out of the freezer to make cowoose burgers. One thing about moose it the patties don't stick together very well because its so lean. Both Brie and I found a recipe online that was very easy and we had all the ingredients necessary. We were going to buy some fries at the store but Brie said we had some potato's at the house and we could just make homemade fries. (Saved us about 12 dollars). Our first batch didn't go so well. About a week ago I figured out our fan above the stove was not working and we desperately needed it for the fries. I burnt the first batch which wasted two perfectly good potato's and Brie sliced up another couple and I tried it again. In the mean time our house filled with smoke and the alarms were sounding. Daisy is deathly afraid of the fire alarm sound and was going nuts. We had the front door open, kitchen window, side window, back living room window and back door open to help with the smoke. Took a while but it eventually went away. The 2nd batch of fries turned out a lot better. I didn't burn them so that was the key. Our Cowoose burgers turned out awesome. We topped them with some cheese and pickles and wrapped them in lettuce. We have gone away with eating our burgers with buns. 1. we don't have regular access to buns, 2. Its better for you! Even Hardees has a lettuce wrapped burger.
Our evening ended with some TV at Dani and Ron's. We watched that new show "Secret Millionaire" and "Undercover Boss". Both shows can be emotional but that Secret Millionaire show is pretty neat! Finally someone with money doing something good with it!!
Well that was our enjoyable Sunday. Sometimes when your day starts our rough it can get better. No one likes cleaning up pee in the morning but we made the most of it and had a great day none the less!
I am sorry that I don't have any pictures. Our camera stinks and we are in the market for a new one. Any suggestions or public donations would be welcome! I guess when you go sledding you shouldn't put the camera in your pocket. I also think that when you go sledding while having the camera in your pocket you shouldn't slam into a tree making the camera fall out. Lessons learned!!
