Day 71 - homebody day!

Today I didn't leave the house...wait, that's not true. Let's say I didn't leave the property. That's better. What a great day. 

I finished canning my tomatoes (finally) and did some laundry. That's about it! Besides cooking dinner, that is. What a productive day :)

I did totally forget how long it takes to get that huge ass canning pot to boil... Especially when the darn lid is MIA.  Seriously, we are talking a total of about 4 hours working on canning...sterilizing the jars, keeping the lids warm, warming the tomatoes to hot-pack them & then the actual "canning" part that took 45 minutes. Whew... But by golly I know where my tomatoes came from & that there is nothing added...except citric acid (lemon juice) :) I wish I had company though. Canning is like making tamales, it should be a big event with several hands.  

Tomorrow is my 3rd & final day off this week. I guess I'd better do all the stuff I should have done yesterday & today, lol. I just can't seem to stop procrastinating! :)

Well my little one doesn't want to stay in bed tonight so I'd better cut this short! Good night all!
