tlc's Random Life

I like writing.  I know that I have said that here before.  Because I like to write is why I have this blog.  Well that and it is a great way to share what is going on with my family with the rest of my extended family that I don't get to see on a regular basis.  I have posted in the past that I have this incredibly crazy desire to write a book.  Now I don't know what I want to write a book about or when it would even happen but what I do know is that I have been trying to write something (even a little bit) every day.  I have an app that gives you an idea to write about.  A writing prompt, one sentence and I have to come up with a story and characters for the story on my own.  Today I just thought I would share a little.  The prompt was "you're at Woodstock"  Are you kidding me?  That was 5 years before I was even born and I have little to no knowledge about it.  But anyway, here is what I have.  It isn't much and it may ...

No, not that kind of bunny farm.  This is after all Oklahoma not Nevada. Peter (daddy) Paula (momma) So weird story but then again this is my life and 9 times out of 10 it is a weird story. I was sitting at work one day and a coworker said "I want a snickers"  I replied with "I want a bunny"  there was a second of awkward silence and then he replied "well that's out there"  I had been  looking at pinterest that day and there happened to be lots of pictures of rabbits.  We live on a farm so why not right.  Only I had no idea where to get rabbits or any real place to keep them.  I know where Britt gets the constant need to bring animals home that's for sure.  Later that day I was on facebook and a friend I use to work with had posted to my timeline that she had a mating pair of rabbits for sale and wanted to know if I wanted them.  Her story is she is raising New Zealand white rabbits for sale as meat rabbits.  My first r...

I know it sounds crazy and if you are like I was you have your favorite leading brand laundry soap and you are pretty hesitant to switch to some home made version that might not get your clothes as clean as you would like.  Well throw those thoughts out of your head.  It works.  I didn't believe it until I tried it and well it is kind of a risk to see if you like it or not after all it does cost about $30 to make it up.  But I can tell you I was spending about that same amount twice a month with the amount of laundry we go through at our house (2 teenage daughters...ugh!)  Anyway the photo above is what you will need. 4lb 2oz box of Borax 3lb 7 oz box of Arm & Hammer washing soda 3lb tub of Oxyclean 2 bars of Fels-naptha stain remover 4lb box of Arm & Hammer baking soda 55oz bottle of Purex Crystals fabric softener I have included a picture of my receipt from this trip to buy supplies.  Yes it was $30.31...

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...
