1. If you really want for your air conditioning to break, you should probably write about how much you love your air conditioning on a 100 degree day. Don’t jinx yourself like I did folks. Yesterday morning our poor AC went kaput. It was just working a tad bit too hard. Thankfully I was able to sweet talk the owner of a company to get out here yesterday afternoon, so we’re back in business with a new furnace blower. Done and done.
2. I picked a few awesome things from my garden yesterday – specifically some okra and russet potatoes. It made for a great dinner. I was quite excited.
3. Inspired by the infamous Molly, the Husband and I are trying to teach Charlie how to play dead when we say “Bang!!”. Katie showed me how Molly knows that trick when I went to go visit her a few weekends ago. Uhh, this is going to be a long process.
4.I’m taking the rest of the week off, and you should too! Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!

I can’t believe you grew your own potatoes!!! That is so awesome! I didn’t think of planting them because I figured they took to long to grow…but now I know better! Definitely have to pick some of those up for next summer!
phew! if you couldn’t have gotten your AC fixed - that may have been disastrous! enjoy your holiday week!
Have a great day today, Chelsey!!
Have a wonderful 4th of July girl
ps. so glad your AC is working, and you didn’t melt!
**Also, I just nominated you for the One Lovely Blog award
Details on my blog!
Happy 4th of July, enjoy your time off!
I really need to have my own garden-I would be so psyched to have potatoes from it!
Happy 4th!
Oh no you poor thing! Glad they fixed it up quick for you! Have a wonderful 4th and enjoy your relaxation!
So lucky that you were able to get someone to fix your AC quickly! Happy 4th!
Good luck with charlie! If I remember, the key was to slowly get him to go back, praising him bit by bit, and guiding him with the treat.
YAY for the garden still having some goods inside of it after the storm!
….HAPPY 4th and enjoy the rest of the week off! You deserve it, girl!
Thank goodness your AC was fixed! Happy Fourth!
Good luck! My husband tries with our dog as his parents’ could do the trick. However Pete just pees himself every time my husband says BANG. haha. Don’t think it’s going to happen for us!
Happy 4th! I’m in Canada so we don’t get the rest of the week off but you’re right, we SHOULD anyway
.
That was some sweet talking on the day before a holiday but glad it worked and you’re back in biz!
I love your blog! I am just getting going on my blog but check it out!!
Happy 4th and have a “cool” holiday!
Have a wonderful holiday today!! Hope you have some fun times. I’m so jealous of your home grown potatoes and okra. That sounds incredible!
Have a fabulous Holiday and rest of the week Chelsey!!! I totally want to know how this training of Charlie goes haha
I wish my husband had the rest of the week off. I hate holidays that land in the middle of the week!
Hope you have a great day
I’m so sorry about your AC! We’ve had our AC go out in the most inconvenient times. I hope you get it fixed soon!!!

OMG. I need a vlog of Charlie’s reaction to your new command. Get on it!
I am in the Chicago Suburbs also, living through this uncomfotable heat. My air conditioner broke last night while we were out watching fireworks. Sleeping last night was aweful in the heat. Glad you got your air fixed. I was lucky enough to know someone who could fix it for me so I did not have to pay “holiday fees” for a repair man today. Stay cool!
It was brutal here too yesterday - I couldn’t imagine being without AC, even for only part of the day. Thank goodness they were able to fix it quickly!
Hope you had a great 4th of July!
I <3 Okra! I just roasted some last night, and I'm looking forward to the leftovers.
Ugh no! Not the air conditioning! Good thing it got fixed in this heat. I wish I could take the rest of the week off - at least the Wednesday off sort of broke up the week. Happy long weekend!
May I PLEASE come over and have some garden delicacies?
Good for you for taking the week off. Enjoy it, babe! <3
My dog does bang, too! Except for she’s still with my Dad. =( I miss her!
lol We don’t have AC in our place…it’s not good I get very jealous when others talk about AC. haha And I LOVE that you have a garden! I need to start one, because when you are Celiac it is garden food that you really need but stores skyrocket the prices just because they are organic or gluten free. :/
Definitely need to plant me some potatoes for next season! Are they hard to grow?
I’m sure Charlie will catch on to the ‘Bang!’ trick quick! We taught our dogs to ‘bow’ (stretch out their front paw and lean backwards like they do whenever the get up from a nap) whenever we say ‘Yoga’…it’s pretty funny. We just started saying ‘yoga’ to them every time they were stretching after a nap and they caught on:) I’m sure Charlie would catch on quick too:)
That is sostinking cute!
