Successful day (took advantage of Sunday)

Yesterday, I followed through with my commitment to clean and organize. I tackled a few tasks I dreaded. I cleaned my oven with baking soda and white vinegar, this also included me cleaning the racks in my bathtub in warm water with dish detergent. All I will say is "it worked"- I have silver colored racks instead of black. Beside this, I also reclaimed my cast iron le creuset pot which I scored during a thrift store visit. The inside was black (previous meals burnt), I poured some cola soda and let it sit overnight. Acid in soda ate most of it, saving my elbow grease (which I used for my oven). Then I used some baking soda and white vinegar, forming a paste and scrub away with a sponge (rough side). My pot was white (cream colored): success!!! 
On a side note: I took my pups to the vet for their annual routine. Both were so well behaved, as usual my vet commented they eat better than him. I feed them Acana and Orijen food, while I also once in a while feed them Fromm (mixed in). As vet commented it shows, both Curley and Rowdy are in great shape. I am certain though that our almost daily 3 miles walk in the woods helps. Despite the low temperature and the snow out, we went out yesterday morning for a 3 miles hike. I will comment that I was glad for my fleece lined long john under my jeans. Pups wore their sherpa lined coats. Rowdy managed to kill a mole even with ground covered with a few inches of snow. He is definitely my hunter. Curley as usual found himself a long "log" not a branch to carry proudly. 
Overall, it was a successful day: I accomplished a lot. By time it was evening and I finished making  my bed with clean sheets, pups were happy to pass out on it.
