This is Herschel.  This has been Brittnie's main priority for the last few months.  It's nearing the end of school show season (I think) and I have not yet posted any stories about this.  No I'm not saying I haven't said or posted anything about it on social media sites because if you know me you have already seen a few posts.  I can't help it.  She amazes me (almost daily). This has been a huge learning experience for my girl.  I love what it has done for her.  Anyone that knows Brittnie knows her unquenchable love for animals (of every kind)  so it was really no surprise when entering her first year of high school that she chose AG as one of her classes.  Now I never took this class in high school maybe I didn't really have what it took to take such a demanding class (maybe its not that demanding, maybe it was just that I grew up in town and any animal other than a dog, cat or occasional turtle freaked me out...I don't know)...

Yep, I opened an online store. Yes it may be another of my crazy hair brained ideas but it sounded fun to try.  So...I'm going to try it for a bit and see what I can do with it. **So come on in and take a look around my fun online store and let me know what you think and check back often to see what else is new. Check it out here... http://www.zazzle.com/40kindsofcrazy And did you catch the name?  40 kinds of crazy.  That pretty much explains me and my life so why not enjoy it right :) So far there is only a tshirt, a phone case (for Galaxy s3) and a couple different key chains.  I get to design everything and can not wait to make some more stuff to offer everyone. (and to buy them myself so I can show it off) I don't set the prices, but I do get a % of the sales.  I feel like this is pretty fair because they don't charge me for the web page. Check it out even if you don't want to order please share my page because someone may find something they...

Let me be the first to say that I think maybe I should have been diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder) many many years ago.  Like maybe when I was a little kid but probably even as recently as my married years. I love to make things. And I love to collect items that no longer serve their original purpose that could be re-purposed into something useful again.  The problem I have is I will start something and get distracted (sadly this happens way too often) and the project gets set aside in a closet or another room or the shed but most the time it gets slid into what my Britt has aptly named "the black hole of unfinished projects" (under the big couch) there probably aren't that many projects actually under there but every time we move the furniture she always asks what I want to do with all the things under there and I always say put the back under the couch until I can get to them.  So now I can be working on something or mention a new project and she always...

Let me just start at the beginning...a long time ago (just over 10 years)  my brother and sister in law found out they were expecting again.  It had been what seemed like forever since the last baby and I was extra excited because Dave is my only sibling and what ever babies they had were all I was going to get as an auntie.  I couldn't wait.  I will not ever forget the day we found out their big surprise.  I was at Mike and Nanny's house and they stopped by to tell us what the doctor had to say.  They were having an ultrasound that day and we were kinda waiting on pins and needles to see what the baby was going to be...boy or girl.  It was funny how Dave said it too...I remember him saying "you want to know what the doctor said the baby is?"  We were all like duh!  he said "Well they said we are having girls"  (the words may not be exact but it was along this line of conversation)  I remember it took a few second...
