I was hoping to get a picture of us at the Mardi Gras parade bundled up, but it is on my daughter's camera. Maybe later. After having a pretty mild winter, it is a harsh reality to wake up to temperatures in the 20's that it is, in fact, winter. We covered up the lemon tree again, our new heat pump survived, and so far all is well. It should start to warm up after today.
I tend to want to hibernate when it gets too cold and not do anything. I have been shoe browsing since I need something a more durable and weather proof. My wardrobe is best described as durable. I am rough on shoes and am tired of paying money only to have my shoes fall apart in a couple of months. So I will be ordering these today:
This is the Keen Briggs II They are walking/hiking shoes and look sturdy, at least I hope they are since I have never owned a pair of this brand of shoes. They consistently receive good ratings. I don't intentionally abuse my shoes but it seems that they wear out pretty quick. Doesn't everything now-a-days though? I think that is what attracts me to wearing aprons, for the most part, they are the prettiest thing I have on all day lol.
Weight Watchers is still doing it's job. I am down 9.6 lbs. It has been easier to track and eat than I thought it would be. I still don't buy their food and I have only had to make minor adjustments to my cooking. Mostly it was the chips and soda that was an issue. I still have more weight to lose.
Besides my one eyed Pug, and my rotten Siamese mix cat, I have a miniature Dachshund. His name is Spike. I call him Weenie because he acts like a big whining weenie when it's just him and I. He's getting old and cranky but he doesn't let anyone near the house without letting me know about it first. He also has a towel fetish. He was supposed to be a miniature and was my husband's dog before we married, but was very happy to attach himself to me since I baby him. So he is double the size of a miniature, and half the size of a full sized Dachshund. Ok, back to his fetish. For a small dog he can grab towels hidden four feet or more above his head. Rags aren't safe either. He loves to wrap himself up in towels. I have to put extra clothespins on the towels when they are on the line so he can't get them. So, guess where Weenie was on towel day?
He stayed there from the time I put them out in the morning until the early afternoon when I brought them in. No need to give him treats, just give him a towel.

This post is six days old. How did I miss it?
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of Timbersomethings that I've had since I stole them from one of my girls. They must be at least 10 years old. Steel toes! (For the snakes.) Nothing quite like a good reliable pair of shoes, except for maybe a good dog!
I have a pair of black Timberland hikers. I got them big and they are still too narrow and I don't have wide feet but they will do in a pinch. It looks like you are on your way to training two good dogs.
