The Chicken that will never be done!
weather, chicken and getting some work done!
Cold weather
This weekend was filled with another cold weekend for us in Florida. I whopping high of 45-55, I think today it hit 55. I took the kids out to play while my husband was smoking a chicken in the smoker and my nose started running…..that’s right a runny nose from the Florida weather….I may be a little wussy but I also can complain as I spent the first 21 years of my life living in miserably cold North Dakota so it is not like I didn’t live the harsh cold long enough…come on Sunshine state, live up to your name!!
So the chicken
oh the chicken…..let’s start at the beginning. My hubby has been wanting a smoker for about 6 months…well actually about 4 years but really go annoying about it about 6 months ago…. I found a good deal on one and picked it up for him a few weeks ago. Last weekend we spent Super bowl Sunday smoking some ribs!! Num Num,!! This weekend we thought we would give a whole chicken a try…..everything we read online said it would take anywhere from 1 ½ hours to 6 hours…..well let me tell you how me and him have not eating dinner yet and its 10pm as I’m typing this…its rolling on the 6 hour mark. I was wishfully thinking it was done around 7, I took it off and started to pull off a leg only to see pink staring at me in the face…back on the smoker it went!! Oh did I mention that I have been checking on it and adding charcoal and wood as needed while my husband takes a happy nap on the couch! I guess watching the Daytona 500 all day must wear a man out…..
The business thing…..
It was a good weekend for me and my etsy shop, I had a lot of inquiries and messages sent. 1 secured sale and a few more in the works. I was surprised on Saturday morning that one of my favorite items I sell was featured in another person’s blog. I have never met or talked to this person before, which mean that people are finding me on Etsy and the web and liking my shop!! If you wanna check out her blog here is the address http://shorelychic.blogspot.com. I was jumping up and down when she sent me a message saying she featured my work!! I went out yesterday and did some personalized messages that had been ordered through form the week. I had a lot of fun getting the right shots for everyone.
The big opps….
I was very excited to be making some save the dates for a couple who will be getting married in September of this year. Well cuz what the date is Sept 18th not Sept 21st. Yep that right, I had the perfect shots for them got home sent them out to them. I was very excited about the shots I was able to receive. I then realize that I had written out the wrong dates…OPPSSSS!!! She was very nice and I headed to the beach again in the evening to do a reshoot! My husband did a very good job of taking care of the kids all day for me when I spent some along time at the beach!
The new shot….
I took a new favorite picture when I was at the beach..I have posted it in my store and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do! The waves hit it perfect and I was lucky enough to get such a unique angle on the shot!!
Lets hope for some sales this coming week! Only 4 weeks till Disney world with the kids.
