Sure is hard to keep myself entertained through all of this social distancing.  For years now I have kept a planner and every night I write what happened during the day and stuff that we did.  The last weeks have been:

 Went to work.  Made calls.  Went home.  Cooked supper.  Sat on the couch.  

 Some nights are fun because I can say “Had Happy Hour Zoom with friends.”  Then sat on the couch.

 Then there are those times I do something fun like laundry or vacuum.  YAHOO!!!!  Then safe on the couch.

 This week I decided I needed to clean my house.  Really clean.  I am not to proud to say I have a cleaning lady normally.  And the reason I have one is MY HUSBAND!!   He told me a couple years ago that we didn’t need a cleaning lady.  HE WOULD HELP ME CLEAN!!!  Ya right!!  So one Sunday I am busting my bootie to get the house clean and (get this) as he is laying in his recliner he actually says:  “Can you please not vacuum until the race (NASCAR) is over?  I can’t hear over the noise.”  SERIOUSLY?????  I put the vacuum away and hired a cleaner.😱😱😱😱😱

 Soooo.  With all of this going on I decided I couldn’t wait any longer and went to town.  I will tell you it was hard work.  I moved furniture, I moved rugs, I moved everything and cleaned.  I literally had sweat dropping on the floor.  It looked fabulous when I was done and as I cracked a cold beer (after a shower) I told Scott that there sure is a satisfaction knowing I did all that hard work BUT I really don’t need that satisfaction again for along time.  🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

 Another “fun” thing I did was take my daughters dog for a walk.  Sounds easy enough right??  AHUM..  Not quite.  This “puppy” is a rescue.  She is adorable and is part lab, part German Shepard, maybe part pit bull, and I think part greyhound.  So now you know.  Who took whom for a walk?  Started out okay walking down the road.  She gets pretty excited when she sees other dogs 🐕 so I was prepared for it.  UNTIL I was dumb enough to take her on the walking path past the dog park.  🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. She took off, I lost the leash, popped off 3 fingernails in the process and ran after her.  I won’t tell you what I am sure this all looked like to the other folks in the park.  I grabbed her and pulled her away as gracefully as I could 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵. Sweating profusely the whole time.
Still 5 blocks from home, I finally made it.  Needless to say we were both exhausted and panting.  
Thank goodness I had “Happy Hour” scheduled with a couple friends.  ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!!!

 Stay healthy all!!

Where the F^*@ did summer go??

  As I am writing this it is almost the end of August and we are taking our home on wheels camping.  This is our 3rd time out (can’t count the countless hours I sat in the driveway in it because I needed  a vacation.) Our first outing was to a country music fest in Karlstad MN.  Appropriately called Kickin Up Kountry.   We went with siblings and outlaws and had a blast.  Naturally we pull up and the camper RIGHT NEXT DOOR is a classmate of mine from high school and his wife.  What are the odds.   AND It was hot out so we all know I was a sweaty mess for 3 days.   You know it’s bad when I wear a cowboy hat AND a t-shirt at the same time.  With an umbrella and a fan.   So not my fashion statement but I plan on wearing it again next year!!!   Saw my first Baja races and more men in bib shorts and cowboy boots than I care to count.  Working on Scott’s wardrobe for next year.😄😀 Our second outing was a staycation.   We camped in our hometown park.  It was so fun.  We couldn’t go home no ma

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOUDER AND LOUDER and I want to shut it off but I need my

Tis That Time of Year

  Well…  the season is upon us.  Yep… the season is here!! November was a busy month for sure.  I had the joy of experiencing the BIGGEST craft show I have ever been too.  It was at Canterbury Downs in Shakopee and OMG!!   First let me preface that the 3 I went with have gone every year for 20 years.  (And no this is not them below - this is me after finishing the day.) So they knew what they were doing.  Our first night, we went to a HUGE casino and while 2 of them gambled, 2 of us walked around, got lost and drank beer.   As long as you walked around the circle, you could always find the bar.   Not sure I was very impressive by the time we went back to the hotel.     The next morning we all got up and in true Jodi fashion I was ready to go!  I have learned over the years with my husband, YOU GET UP, YOU GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER AND YOU LEAVE.  Doesn't matter if you look like you slept in a dumpster the night before.  YOU GET IN THE CAR AND GO!!!   So I was ready when it was time to
