OK....If You didn't know by now...

I'm a weirdo! I know it! I'm not afraid to share it.... But I have been trying to keep it off the world wide web here lately while I ride these meds out. However.... I said that, Unless anything else interesting happening, I wouldn't be back..... and then I got into another car accident. Yup! But this time.... It wasn't my fault. Actually if you ask me, it wasn't really the other guys fault either, but he's the one that walked away with the ticket. I was coming back from picking up dinner when he was pulling out from a stop sign and hit me in the front- on the other side from where I hit the other other lady a few weeks ago. Other than my shoulder really hurting and I now need all the lights on the other side of my car replaced, everything is OK. My nerves are not... and I really don't want to drive any where... At All.... But when your the only one in the house with a driver's license..... you kinda have to.

I don't know.... the whole thing has got me thinking.... Thinking that someone out there is trying to say something to me.... And without offending anyone or without getting into some big long discussion on religion.... We will just say I tend to question it a lot..... and was asking my self if a higher power wasn't trying to tell me something... so I googled "subliminal messages from God, car accidents" and I shit you not the first thing to come up was a add for the Chrysler 300-
..........................................the Car that I got hit by last night!...... Umm hello.... I had to laugh- If that wasn't eerie then I don't know what is.... I still don't know what it is that I'm suppose to take away from all of this. And believe me it will drive me crazy until I do. Yes, I am one of those people that over think life, lol. Have no fear though, there are other things in my life that I am able to start relaxing about now..... I finally found some paperwork I've been looking for that I lost earlier this summer.... and Over the weekend I found a pair of earrings that I thought I had hid in Cora's dollhouse(I've been looking for those everyday since August!!). I was at the point where I was looking in pots and pans, digging through drawers, and had even begun picking threw the curtains before I decided to look in my jewelry box....again....for the 30th time.... and there they were.... as if they'd just magically been put there..... If I didn't know any better, I'd swear there's a ghost in my house that is playing horrible tricks on me, but I just keep telling myself it's this God Damn Medicine. I do think it's working though.... :D ... I haven't had the night sweats in weeks- but it's got my crying most of the day, and it's giving my heart one heck of a work out.... Other than that life is just Grand, LMAO......

And I have I'm thinking 50 half finished 'Christmas' Birdhouses sitting on my table. Another side effect of the medicine-extreme procrastination, lol. I'm close to being done with some of them though....the little ones just need roofs, and I have some with doorknobs that I'm going to try and add snow topped roofs to. Oh- and I have new ones with faucets as perches! I have several bigger ones drawn out.... and I have tons of ideas, I just can't seem to stay focused on anything. Hopefully after Christmas.... when all the holidays go away I can try and focus and I'm just going to have to list Christmas stuff all though the Spring. Then it will be on to the bunnies:) If anything I will try and have some preview pictures for you this weekend.
But for now.... I gotta figure out how to get rid of this Bah Hum Bug attitude.
I don't want it rubbing off on the family, but I'm afraid it already has. Maybe I can learn to like Eggnog?

**Thought I'd throw in some pictures of what we call 'The MarshMallows'.... They've got their winter coats on and are as big as houses....Two big White fluffy cats with black helmet heads..... That's Boogs in the top picture and Freddy in the bottom. And then there's me... I donated my hair recently! did I tell you? I have thick hair- so they were able to get 4- 10 inch pony tails! And as you can see.... it's still pretty long(I was able to sit on it before I cut it).... My father would have a Fit if I cut it any shorter- Yes! Even at my age! lol It's what happens when you come from a family of all girls. And it is soooo much easier to take care of now- My heart loves it! lol

Until Next Time

Red Paint and a Squirrel Tail...

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays...... We did. We spent a quiet evening at home with the kids:) Of course the drama was over where the turkey was going to be cooked. Our oven is not working at the moment.... And I had decided I wanted to try and cook the turkey in a Crock Pot- But I couldn't seem to find a Turkey small enough to fit in our Over sized pot... So then our neighbor offered to let me use her kitchen seeing as she was going to be at her families' all day. Then the day before Thanksgiving she calls me to tell me the her power is out in her kitchen. So we called an Electrician.... and I have a good friend who also called around the same time and offered to bring me a roaster. Well around the same time the Electrician showed up, so did the power company, and the pouring down Rain mind you, lol.... Seems other neighbors were having similar problems... and something about something that is way over my head- but by the end of the evening the power was working again... and all was well. LOL. Turkey got cooked on a bed of red apples and was delicious! But very dramatic, lol.

So..... I ordered a stamp for my store. I figured I stamp my signs, only seems nature to have a store stamp right. I ordered it from The Stampin' Place on Etsy. Really good customer service- Really quick turn around and shipping! And I have stamped everything! LOL.... No Casey- The cats did not get stamped, lol.... although the new box of cat litter that sat in the living room for too long did, lol. And so did that stick in the picture, lol. I know it's only half a stamp- but at least it's the part with my website...plug, plug.

But let's talk about this red paint. I've been working on this order for a friend for Christmas. She wanted signs to give her friends for Christmas.... I made them, took them out side to seal them- but I've been having problems with the sealer. At first I was thinking it was the weather. Then I thought it was clogged. I soaked it, poked it... and that didn't work.... so I bought a new can. And made the dumb mistake of spraying all the signs. Those are the ones in the bottom set. Well.... now they are frosty....

You can see it better in this picture. Look at the middle sign. That has a coat of sealer on it. Do you see what I mean. The top sign does not. I could kick myself in the butt for spraying ALL those signs. I tried to sand the frost off ( see the 3rd sign down in th epic) but then it started sanded off the ink, too. So I just redid them.... those are the ones in the picture above in the top half of the pic. I still have to cut them down, sand them and age them..... but I refuse to send something that is less then what I would want. I think I might try and Modge podge the frosty ones to see if I can't save those. I've spent way too much time on them to just throw them away.

Now see... I sprayed this 'lady' sign with those red ones yesterday and you can't tell! It looks fine?! This is a hand carved stamp that I made a loooong time ago. Don't think this one will be going in the shop, but if your interested, I can make one for you.


...Now who does this remind you of?
Too cute- I just had to buy this set!


OK.. I must warn you... If you gross out easy- You might want to leave now..... Sorry

My youngest was walking through the backyard the other afternoon... When he yelled:
"Ahhh Gross- Maa- There's a dead Squirrel in the yard..... Oh wait- Nevermind- It's just a Tail!"

Nice!

Thanks Guys!
Cats!

...until next time....
I'm off to start listing the unfrosty signs...

Maybe it wasn't that expensive after all....

You know... It's a good thing my oldest is in that auto mechanics program at school now that his Ding-Bat of a mother is driving around town playing bumper cars, huh. I tried to avoid that phone call to the insurance company yesterday explaining that I was a jackass, but they seemed to beat me to the punchline and called me in the afternoon 'to check on me'... Turns out I've got better coverage than I thought I had and the two cars I hit are covered. All I have to pay for is the ticket I got for being a moron and the light that I took out on my car. And with my handy dandy son knowing how to work on cars.... He'll be changing that out that light for me this afternoon After I get the courage up to get back in that car to go buy a new one, lol......

Then I have a preview of those birdhouses I've been talking about...... all I'll say is I came across some nail stickers at the mall..... and that's all she wrote.....

Until Next Time.....

That was one expensive cup of Hot Chocolate!

OK.... This should be my last Med update until I find out if it works.... which won't be for several more months, so unless something else happens, that trumps today.... I'm going to leave it alone, OK? Promise.....

But First.... I gotta go back to last week.
I finally sat down and wrote a letter to the doctor. I figure it would be easier than trying to explain it on an answering machine or to some nurse who would have No idea as to what I was talking about. So last Tuesday.... I ran the letter out there, addressed to his main PA.... because I know how busy the doctor himself is..... And Friday he called me back. This medicine is giving my mind a run for it's money... As I put it.... My mind has turned into mash potatoes! Last week I went to grocery store to purchase a birthday cake for my son.... got sidetracked by some yummy looking bread.... thought about what I was going to make for dinner, went grocery shopping.... and it wasn't until about 6 hours later, when I was at home in bed, that it dawned on me that I had completely forgotten to order his cake! I repeat myself to the kids, ask them the same questions.... And then today.....

I T-Bone someone! Yup! Me. The girl who's never been in an accident....The girl with no tickets. And I was not even a block away from the house. Totally my fault! I was turning into 7-11... Trying to see if there was any parking spaces.... and I just didn't see the little white car coming at me when I turned.... Well, when I hit her, she hit the parked car that was sitting on the side of the road. Luckily No one got hurt! But I sure made a mess out of her car! And I swear to Whom ever... It's this Gosh damn medicine! I just don't go around t-boning people. I'm that girl that gets yelled at for driving to slow! You know- They call me "Driving Miss Daisy".... Needless to say..... I was a mess.... Another side effect of the medicine- I can't stop crying! So I called the bf on the phone and asked him to bring me my 'Volume' (as the kid calls it) because at this point, one of my other side effects..... My Heart..... was kicking in. Yes, I'm now getting runs of my SVT again... which means my heart beat is in the 130s- 150s sometimes. Now I take meds for this anyways... and my heart doc knows about this. Remember I have a healthy heart, I just have electrical issues.... but when one of those electrical issues starts to act up, the rest follow, and as I was told, "I was an emotional wreck!"........LMAO- And here I thought I held myself up pretty well. After all was said and done, I had the bf drive the car home, I got my hot chocolate from 7-11 and I walked! No more driving for me! I still have to call the insurance company to tell them I f*ck*d up.... but I just don't have it in me yet. I'm honestly ready for a nap. lol

Anyways.... When I talked to the doctor the other day.... They told me to go ahead and keep taking the meds. The are aware of what it is doing to me, but we both want to see what the outcome will be, and as long as the symptoms aren't too bad, and as long as I keep my butt out of the car.... I think I'll be OK...... He said my body should start to adjust to the meds after a while, so that's a bit of good news right.....

Now lets just pray it works.

Until Next Time

The kinda days I live for!

Figured it was about time I did a Happy post! (as Rufus runs right across the keyboard- Damn cats!) Sunday was my Youngest 13th Birthday! I can Now officially say I have 3 teenagers....
13, 14, and 15...... and as I said to my Mother the other day... "HELP!" lol
OMG! What am I in for? lol
So this is my baby.... all grown up- covering his ears as his buddies are Screaming Happy Birthday to him! In his defense- It was rather loud!

Of course no party is ever complete without Emma- my Daughter's 50 pound Moose. I swear she's the biggest cat we know, with the tiniest, daintiest legs you've ever seen! Too cute!

OK..... I'll spare my Ex the embarrassing after shot photo of his face.... But I won't spare him the story... Bah hahahahaaaa..... Oh this Good! Don't get me wrong- Me and my Ex get along really good- But I sure do love it when this kind of stiff happens. So my son got the tube thing for his birthday.... but couldn't figure out how to open it.... Me, I was standing in the back, behind all the boys- which by the way- have grown sometime in the last year, because I now have to stand on my tippie toes to see over them (And I'm 5'10)...anyways.... I hear a "Pull this" and a BANG and the boys I'm standing behind, back me into the kitchen.... and all you see is smoke! And here's comes my ex, Bent over.... barely whispering "They shot me!"....... And well... You know me..... I'm on the floor at this point laughing..... Because I'm realizing this tube is one of those party confetti things and what my ex if referring to- is the fact that the 'boys' have just shot him with is a tube of confetti- Right in the gut! ...... And then he says to me..... All calm like...... "Ya know, It really isn't all that funny!"..... ROTFL....... I just had to walk away at that point and help my daughter clean up the mess..... there was even confetti in the kitty litter! I'm sure my ex will be finding that stuff in his house for months! LOL.....

Poor Guy!

Cameron decided he wanted a Halloween themed cake this year so I found a Frankenstein cupcake cake at Farmfresh. Anyone want to try in it mini?

And I know it was Cameron's Birthday, but it seems my daughter has hogged up my camera. She decided she wanted to be a pretty ghost....If you look close you'll notice she has flowers on her white sheet and a unicorn in her hands- and a wee bit of a crooked face, lol. (Mind you we had to take the scissors away from her- she thought she was going to cut the eye holes out while she still had the sheet on her head- duh!) Only my daughter!

See..... at the end of a bad day..... I'll always have the kiddos to make me laugh....

Until Next Time....

Don't forget to look at all kinds of hobbies! You never know what you'll find!!

My, My...Have I let so much time go by once again. I hope all is well out there in 'blogworld'! Me, I've been having to use my time to fill out yucky paperwork:( Not much fun if you ask me! I'm down the last section of it though....and when I finish, I plan on rewarding myself with a few new types of birdhouses.... I hope. LOL, now that I think of it, I have several that need roofs, and all those barns I made need to be finished, too. The lighthouses just didn't work out for me~ yet, but I'm still thinking about it........And I've been working on the tree house again!!! YUP! :) And it's killing me Not to finish it. Now that I've figured out where to go with it, I just want to finish it! I've been watching Railroad train scenery DVDs from the library, and learning all kinds of fun stuff. Like wet newspaper and plaster ~the kind they use to cast your arm after you've broken it!! Who knew it would work perfectly for my tree:) I've been taking pictures as I go, so when I finally get back around to getting pictures up again, I'll do a post. The one good thing about not having a computer, is you actually get work done, sometimes, lol....Well, Me and the kid are at the library, and my time is almost up......
So
Until Next Time...
