Oh Hey!

Heyyy! Ohhhh my. Hi.

I know I am a terrible blogger....

I don’t try to be. But I’m boring kinda.

Anyways. 

I’m just about finished with LOST. I am on season 6 like episode 11 or 12. Woo hoo! I’m watching it now actually as I type this :D. 

Last week I was surfing pinterest. I am such a pinterest addict! Hubby laughs at me but if you know what pinterest is I think you understand. Lol :D. Well I found this pin quote “ If it’s important to you, You’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.”   

 

Wow.. That like really bopped me on the head. Like HELLOOOOOO! Life hands me lemons a lot  and usually… usually I can take it and just be oh whatever things happen. But I’m done thinking like that. I am so done and over with ‘things happening’ And that quote is what did it for me. I love it…  Then I had an idea for a ‘visionboard’. I looked up on google about them and I thought, oh hey I could do that! I’ve heard about them in books and TV and I have heard mostly that they work. Not really heard that they haven't worked so..  What’s the harm in trying. I thought when I brought it up to hubby he might laugh and he wouldn’t really want to do it. I was pleasantly surprised when he was as excited as I am and was willing to do it with me. Yay. He has tomorrow off so I figure we will do it tomorrow, I bought all the things I will need for it, yesterday! Woo woo woo! 

 I was online and talking with a friend and she was telling me she was making something she posted similar to something I had posted on pinterest. An all natural vinegar & Orange peel cleaner, but she added limes cuz she had some lying around that were on the verge of death. It inspired me to make mines.. Then while I was making it, I figured. I might as well make the bird feeders while I’m in here! I had made some more orange glaze muffins and I saved the peels because I wanted to make some more orange peel birdfeeders and also try the vinegar orange peel cleaner.  I decided to put like 4 peels – give or take, I forgot to count, when I opened it today to take pictures it still smelled kinda vinegar-ey so I think that next time I try I will put some more orange peels, maybe try a lemon or lime also. 

      

Did I tell you about the orange peel bird feeders that I made? Well they are really super simple and cute and fun to make! I am afraid of birds, but I dun want the birdies to go hungry.. For a few times, every time I looked out the window to see if I could see an outside cat eating, I saw birdies eating the cat food and then shortly after that a friend posted the link to the bird seed feeders and I was like omg I have oranges I need to use up before they go bad! Woo hoo! I think actually It was around the time that I made the first set of orange muffins because I made those muffins to use up the oranges.  I don’t have a picture of this last time that I made them, I forgot to one before I put them out in the trees, but I do have one of the first time that I made them! I made 7 this time and I gave 2 to my mom and put the rest around my park. While I was out putting them up, some guy was at my neighbor’s house getting out of his car he goes of hey is that an ornament and I was like no I just made them they are bird feeders and I gave him one to give to his daughter to put into the trees by her house. I just love spreading animal love. 

 

I also made some all natural laundry detergent! It was sooo easy! I had been wanting to try it but I didn’t know if I really wanted to spend the time to try it. The liquid one makes A LOT of detergent and I really don’t have the space to save it right now so I decided to try the powder kind. I made it last night.. Wow it was so easy and so not even time consuming at all like I thought it would be! Just grate the bar and add the borax and washing soda! I also added a little bit of baking soda because I read online in the comments to use vinegar as laundry softner and I figured- when you add vinegar and bakind soda it fizzes so it might help.. Although, I read all 68 comments on this laundry soap and there was only ONE bad review and it wasn’t even bad, someone had an allergic reaction. But it was probly to the soap they used to grate rather than the borax or soda, since they are all natural products..  You could also add natural oil essence if you wanted a scent but I don’t worry about scent, because we were already using free and clear soap. I also read in the comments, that you could use the scented Mrs. Meyers or whatever brand like that. I can’t think the name of it.

That's all for now. Thanks for coming and reading. Hope something here you might try!

Technology Stinks

Hey!
I don't know if I have any readers or if anyone noticed I wasn't writing. First I got really super duper busy with a crochet project. I couldn't put it down. I haven't finished it because my computer died!. I have been having such terrible luck with this dumb thing I can't wait to get a new one! It's back for now and I just have to finish. I wish we had a printer because their is so many things that I want to print! Its killing me! So while my computer was broken I have been working on a pattern of my own for some dish cloths and I FINALLY finished all the Hunger Games books. Holy Cow. What a great series. I'm sad that its over. waa. I also finally saw the movie. It was very long but I liked it! I'm stoked now for the other movies. woo! I also re-started watching LOST.  Do you know how. much. I. LOVE. LOST?! I'm so excited to be watch it again. And I still want the box set so bad. If you haven't seen it. I really recommend that you watch it. It really is a fantastic show. Probably my most favorite I've seen! Its on netflix, If you have it! If you didn't know- Desperate Housewives is also over. It ended this past Sunday. I love the way they ended it. It was very classy! I said on facebook- they ended it with as much class as Wisteria Lane. I laughed, I cried. It was so great. Its also on netflix! I was doing dishes the other day thinking of all the box sets I want! I don't watch much TV now,  but their used to be some awesome shows back in the day. When I have kids, I want them to be able to see all the awesome shows that I did! Anyways, I've decided to put my cats on a diet. Its really hard. Jello- shes my fattest cat and all she does is eat. And they act like I'm starving them since I'm giving them only the recommended amount of food. Every time I go into the kitchen they trip me and whine like feeeeeeeed meeeee.. Seriously they are not starving! I have been trying to play more with Jello but shes so lazy she doesn't want to. Fatso lol. But I love them so much, its why I'm doing it. They will thank me in some years :). Oh. So, I am pretty sure that I wrote on here about my Red Heart Yarn mishap? The yarns I started with were so wonderful, the ones I bought stunk. All the colors! So I wrote to them and then they said that they needed more information - OK so this took like 12 days to get back to me and they said they would be sending me more information which took at least another 3 weeks. I had to send them samples of the crappy yarn and the outside wrapper with the color, sku and numbers. I just finally got the replacement yarn last Tuesday I think, and they didn't even sent me the right colors. They sent me the completely wrong colors. I am so very upset. This blanket that I am working on is supposed to be a gift for someone and I have been waiting now for like 2 months for this yarn. I have to call and figure out now what I am supposed to do. Because I am surely not going to buy more yarn from this company. grrrr.  In our bedroom we moved our bed, I must say I really love where we moved it to! I sleep really really good now! I can't wait till we can get a new bed! On Ellen the other day she gave away sleep number beds to all the pregnant women in her show. I thought that was really neat. It was an entire room of pregnant people- which I can't even imagine how that would be. That's ALOT of pregnant hormones. I think you could get pregnant just breathing the air or being in that room for longer than 5 minutes lolol. So, all of my potted plants have died. I got a free sample of the miracle expand a grow soil and I decided to plant some cat grass seeds and they actually grew! Very well!! And my cats ate it all up. nom nom. Jello loved it, my baby girl didn't. I had to stop Jello from trying to eat it all so the other cats could enjoy some too. HAHA! I also gave some to my dog Fiona and she liked it. Have a great day/night! Thanks for reading! I am gonna go relax and watch LOST.
