Snow Day!

I had to shovel a path for the pups to get to the heated dog house through this
Yesterday I learned a hard lesson called "Being A Country Wife."

While the city got about 6-12" of snow Wednesday night, our home in the country got 14". Initially I thought my little Honda could take it and I figured I had to try so I could at least say I tried. That only got me as far as freezing my thumbs off and losing my keys in the snow. Meanwhile, puppy pooped in the house. Twice.

I definitely had to learn some things... Like chopping wood and building fires by myself. And I had to! Because if I want to be warm... Its what you have to do! :) Also got done a lot of random projects that I'd been wanting to tackle... Like our spare bedroom that was still full of boxes!

Yesterday was a home workout as I was SNOWED IN!
I've missed a couple days at the gym so this was my at-home workout yesterday (High carb day)... Not pushing to my max but at least I did it... I have a hard time workout out at home.
Ran the dogs in the snow for 15 mins
