Questions you may, or may not, thought of asking...

Our new dishwasher. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. First (and most important), you are so quiet. I can watch TV and totally forget you are just a few feet away washing my dishes. Second, your stainless steel interior stays radiantly clean. Third, you completely turn off with no vampiring. Oh, how I do love thee? (sigh)

Homemade laundry soap...are we still using it? Does it work well? Yes, we are still making our own laundry soap and yes it works wonderfully. In fact, the last time a batch was needed I made it all by myself (including the power tools!) and it is soo simple! I love it! Now, I'm trying to find a really good replacement for bleach for a variety of things. If you have any ideas, throw 'em at me!

Puppy training...well, she is still only about four months old so we'll give her more time. It took Maggie about a year to be completely trained so I'm not worried. She is potty trained for the most part, so long as John doesn't yell (or another dog come after her in her own yard...but that is a different story). But that has only happened once. What we are working on is: sitting, speaking (when asked), not jumping, not licking (she's a licker!). I'm hoping by the birthday party things will be better. Fingers crossed.
