I keep seeing a book all over the place, "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest."  I guess that makes me "the girl who raked the hornet's nest."  I worked for 4 hours this past weekend to take out a huge wild rose bush... HUGE.  I'm 20 minutes from having the whole thing done and I get stung by a hornet through my gardening gloves.  It would have been funny if it hadn't of hurt so much because it got stuck through my gloves.  While I was dancing around, it was going on a wild ride.  I'm mildly allergic so I ran in and took some Benadryl.  After a couple minutes, I went back outside to finish the job.  I knew how bad my hand was going to look in a couple hours and I was taking advantage of the time until the distorted, swollen claw showed up. 

I went to work raking up the brush again.  The wet ground was causing the gnats to go crazy.  There were so many gnats but there was also an increasing number of hornets.  Maybe I made them mad when I put my hand in their nest.  Yep, apparently their nest was in the root system and I was wrist/rake deep in their home... in a bathing suit.  I'm so lucky!  I can't believe I only got stung once.  Needless to say, I stopped.

 I'll get some spray and then get back to work this weekend.  The best money saving tip I can tell anyone is to plant a garden.  But sadly it is the middle of June and it is only half planted.  I thought if I put a play area right next to it, my son could play and I could work.  He should enjoy it while he can because next year he will be planting too... AKA organized digging in the mud.

I guess within minutes of my posting the Facebook Snapple coupon it disappeared.  I was able to find it again through the Snapple Promotion Website  Here

Happy National Iced Tea Day!

Dog Food Challenge

I'm so sorry for being so behind on this challenge.  Don't worry though, the dogs are being fed even though I'm not posting about their food.  Here is a recap...

The first huge batch of food made enough for a week.  I was still supplementing their regular dog food so it went a little farther.  I was worried about the salmon going bad in the fridge for that long so I froze about 4 days worth in the freezer.  That didn't go over so well.  It froze like a rock.  After two days of thawing in the fridge it was still just as hard.  I resorted to thawing it is the microwave but for some reason all the bags would leak fish water.  On top of all this I was super sick.

Last Monday I went to grab more salmon from the freezer and found some steak.  The steaks were a thorn in my side from this past winter.  They were a gift from my father in law that accidentally got forgotten about in the fridge.  The nicest thing to ever sit in my refrigerator and I was serving "lowest price of the season" chicken.  I found it a day past expiration, washed it off because I guess I thought that would help, and decided that it was getting made for breakfast.  The steak we didn't finish that day (it was really good) I immediately froze.  And here I find it in the back of the freezer.  So into the huge pot it went.  It was my steak therapy. 

I didn't have to buy anything at the grocery store for that batch but I did use some frozen vegetables that I'm going to need to re-buy when they are on sale again.  I got them for $.75 during the March Frozen Food Sale at Safeway.  I also used the rest of my rice ($1.40).

I made another batch this past weekend of salmon, rice, and vegetables.  I grabbed a bag of rice at Freds for $4.49 and used more frozen vegetables ($.75).  I'm so glad we are using up the salmon.  Last year I went on a smoked salmon jerky making spree with the leftover catch.

Still More Free Pedometers
