I think sometimes I portray an image of myself on here that I'm so happy , carefree, my life is so lovely and perfect... yeah well reality sometimes is not the case.
I have been quite the grouch ass this week.
I'm tired of rude people thinking that it's my fault they have to pay their bills. Apparently everything wrong in their life is my fault.
It seems like that it is one of those weeks where everything goes wrong... for example:
On Tuesday when it was raining I wore my rain boots to work so I wouldn't get my tennis shoes or the bottom part of my pants wet. I had to park about a mile away from the office (of course) because everybody got there early to get the good ones so they didn't have to walk very far. Geniuses.
I was running a little late because my brainiac of a dog went for a nature hike that morning and I had to hunt her down , in the pouring rain, to put her back into the house . Awesome.
Getting out of the car I stuffed my tennis shoes half ass in my purse so I could run to the front door and then I would put my tennis shoes on when I got to dry land. I get up to the office and set my purse down and there IS ONLY ONE SHOE!!!!!!! UGGGHHHH!!
I retrace my steps only to find the shoe in the middle of the parking lot getting RAINED ON!!! UGGHHH!!
It was soaked. This day is just ooooozzing with awesomeness.
I had to clunk around the office for a good couple of hours with my rain boots on while my one shoe dried out long enough for me to put it back on and not have that nasty soggy foot feeling.
My lunch came out about 3 minutes before I had to get back for work after waiting for almost an hour. Then I had to scarf it down in no time and I had a lovely attack of heart burn directly following it.
You know, just little piddly crap like that all week long that's just enought to piss you off but not enough to make you blow your top. That was my week.
So, the reason for this blog share is that I felt the need to read it this week. I have been following this blog for just a little bit and it is always funny but it's even funnier when your good and ticked off.
I would love for you to go visit People I Want To Punch In The Throat because it's a little comic relief when your day goes to the dogs.
P.S. Dont read it this blog if you are easily offended.
P.S.S. Sorry I said ass twice. Well I guess 3 times now. I can't promise it won't happen again

In the short few months that I have beenaddicted sharing the fun of Pinterest, I have about 96,254 pins and about 658,154,452 likes on things that I want to do someday. I seriously cannot keep up with all the coolness.
This weeks Blog Share is for The Pinterest Project. These two gals create and share things that they have found on Pinterest. Their tag line on their website is, "a pin a day keeps the crazy away...". Preach on sisters!

Blog Share Sunday: Photo Tips and Sips
As a follow up to last week's Blog Share of Ramblings and Photography great blog of photography techniques, tips, and whatnot, I bring you Photo Tips and Sips. This particular post is probably the best guide that I have found on beginning photography, what lenses you should invest in, and what all the technical mumbo jumbo means. If you are interested in investing your own camera and taking on the adventure of photography, this blog post is a must.
Out of all the books that I have checked out in the library and tips from other photographers that I have gathered up, I consider this to be the biggest wealth of knowledge on beginning photography in the history of mankind!!! Well in the history of me, I guess would be a more believable statement.
Thank you Photo Tips and Sips for compiling and bringing this great blog post together for us interested in photography but don't know how to navigate in all the scientific terms! You rock!
Go check her blog out.... now! Run! Hurry! Have you looked at it yet? What are you waiting for?

Blog Share Sunday: Ramblings and Photos
Yes, I am aware that my "Blog Share Sunday" has become "Blog Share whatever day I discover a cool blog because I can't wait until Sunday to post it". I am going to try and stack up the blog shares for Sunday so I don't burn you out.
On Pinterest the other day, I found this blog because I was looking at photography tutorials. I am doing all the research I can on DSLR cameras, photo editing and photgraphy techniques right now so I can make the best decision when I purchase my first DSLR camera in the hopefully near future. I think that getting a camera of that stature should be an informed, well thought out decision, especially for the money that you invest into it.
I'm not trying to become a professional photographer or anything, it is just that photography has always been a passion of mine. I want to have a nice camera around to capture the unforgettable moments in Blaze's life and let this hobby of mine grow into taking beautiful pictures of our lives. I just know the day I bring home my camera, that Clint is going to suggest I give up at least one of my other 76,097 hobbies. We will see about that.
There are so many times in our crazy life that I think to myself, "If I just had a good camera, this would be the prettiest picture." Lord knows that we go and do enough that I will never run out of subject matter.
The thing is, how does an individual go about learning this art? Sure I could go take classes at the local college but being a mom and having a full time job, makes it hard to make time for classes for a hobby. That is why I am so thankful for the internet, Pinterest, and other bloggers out there that are willing to share their knowledge with strangers for simply the love of photography. This is just one of many discoveries of photography blogs that are dripping with great information.
Ashley Sisk over at Ramblings and Photography is someone that is a self-taught photographer and she shares her knowledge with other photography bloggers in normal-people language and simple, how-to directions for us beginners. She also hosts fun photography challenges.
If photography is something that you are already in to or want to get in to, this blog is a great blog to follow. Go on over to her blog and subscribe by email to make sure you don't miss one single bit of great information.
Enjoy!

Blog Share: Country Woman Magazine & Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
The other day we went to Cabela's to get Clint lots of ammo for the hunting trip that he went on this past weekend. (Pictures to follow soon. They are pretty amazing!) I like Cabela's because there is a sloo of things for Blaze and I to gander at while Clint is checking out the latest and greatest hunting equipment.
I haven't shared Clint's enthusiasm for wild game hunting yet for a couple of reasons.
1. Anything that requires me to sit still and be quiet for longer than 10 minutes is not for me... unless I'm napping. Napping is so for me.
2. I would very much rather be sleeping at 4 o'clock in the morning when they get up to go hunt.
3. I like to shoot clay targets and bird hunting is fine but watching a large animal forced to meet his maker makes me sad. Yes I do understand hunting is necessary for the enviroment and yes I do understand population management is necessary too, but it still makes me sad. Unless they are wild hogs, those things are mean and taking over everywhere. I wouldn't mind shooting one of those. And maybe coyotes too because they kill stock and they get all mangy and get diseases and get mistaken for Chupacabras. (My Granbury people will undersand that one.) And probably bob cats too, they wouldn't bother me so much because they eat baby calves for a snack and then that makes me sad, so I would rather see a dead bob cat than a dead baby calf. But deer and such makes me sad. I think it's more of the stumble to their death that makes me sad.
4. I hate being cold and hunting season is in the dead of winter.
5. It's really hard to take a nap in a tree stand.
Now maybe I will come around to deer hunting one of these days but those are my excuses so far and I'm sticking to them.
Wow I veered so off track that I'm surprised my train is still chugging along... At Cabela's. Checking things out. Go...
That's when I stumble upon this magazine rack will all of these specialized publications. I had no idea there were so many different magazines out there. They have deer hunting magazines, rifle hunting magazine, bow hunting magazines, safari hunting magazines, fishing magazines, hunting dog magazines, water fowl magazines, country living magazines, organic living magazines, survival magazines, camping magazines... there were TONS of magazines!
What kind of people are out there that subscribe to these magazines that keep these publications in circulation?? Oh yeah, people like my husband.
I stood there in utter awe of the rack of different magazines. I saw one that caught my eye, "Country Woman Magazine". It had a lady with long brown hair holding a box of plants. So I flipped through a few pages to find the lady's article since I am interested in growing my own garden. It is her and her husband's business, Jere and Emilee Gettle. It was showcasing her their business from Mansfield, Missouri and they sell heirloom seeds. No, heirlooms are not just antiques desks and vanities passed down from generations but same concept. Heirloom seeds are seeds of fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants, and herbs passed down through the generations. You should see all the glorious harvests.
They have a "pioneer town" on their property and along with the Baker Creek Seed Shop, they have an operating barn, restaurant, old-time mercantile, herbal apothecary, natural bakery, garden museum, blacksmith shop, two music barns, a western jail, a native rock oven, windmill and many breeds of historic poultry and livestock. To top it all off, there is no admission fee to visit. The Seed Shop is there business but the rest is the family's labor of love.
It is only 90 miles from Branson, and since Clint and I are planning a trip to Branson in the spring, you KNOW I will be making a pit stop at this place! I cannot wait!
So this blog share is for 2 things: Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds where you can explore a very interesting site and follow and then Country Woman Magazine because this magazine is great. There are so many good articles about gardening, cooking, baking, crafting, farming... the list goes on.
I hope you check them out because I have sure enjoyed both of them.
Peace out,
Kaci

Craft Your Own Lip Balm
Homemade Lip Balm Alongside Dried Helichrysum Flowers and Rose Buds.
Lip balm is truly one of the easiest and most inexpensive products to create. Not only is crafting your own surprisingly simple, you’ll have full control over all of the ingredients and the satisfaction of knowing that you’re putting pure, natural, and organic elements on your lips!
Three recipes are listed below, but feel free to experiment and create your own! See our guide at the end for tips on making your own recipes.
Gorgeous Organic Nutmeg (Myristica fragans) from Sri Lanka.
Mandarin Nutmeg Lip BalmThis sweet, citrusy, and warming lip balm has just a hint of spice. Made with Mandarin and Nutmeg essential oils, Mango Butter, Sunflower oil, and other botanical ingredients.
1 Tablespoon Mango Butter
2 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Beeswax
15 drops Mandarin Essential Oil
5 drops Nutmeg Essential Oil
A few drops of Vitamin E Oil (optional, but recommended)
Lip balm preparation: Coarsely chop the beeswax or use beeswax pastilles. Place beeswax, butter, and oils in a small pot or glass Pyrex measuring cup and gently heat in the top of a double boiler until the beeswax and butters have melted. Once melted, remove from the stovetop and add essential oils and Vitamin E Oil. Immediately pour the mixture into lip balm containers. You can purchase lip balm tubes and jars, or you can reuse glass or plastic containers. Allow to cool completely before placing caps onto the lip balm containers. Your lip balm is finished! You can now add labels, ribbons, twine, or any other decorative elements. Makes approximately 1.5 oz of lip balm, enough to fill 10 lip balm tubes, 6 of our 1/4 oz plastic jars, or 3 1/2 oz tins or plastic jars.
Pure Essential Oils Steam Distilled from Freshly Harvested Botanicals.
Peppermint Cocoa Lip BalmA refreshing, cooling, and nourishing lip balm with Cocoa Butter and Peppermint for that quintessential fusion of chocolate and mint.
1 Tablespoon Cocoa Butter
2 Tablespoons Sweet Almond Oil
1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Beeswax
12-15 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
A few drops of Vitamin E Oil (optional, but recommended)

Makes approximately 1.5 oz of lip balm, enough to fill 10 lip balm tubes, 6 of our 1/4 oz plastic jars, or 3 1/2 oz tins or plastic jars.
Chunks of Certified Organic and Fair Trade Virgin Coconut Oil. Yum!
Lime Coconut Lip BalmReminiscent of tropical places, this blend is perfect for warmer weather or for those who prefer a lightweight and glossy lip balm.
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
2 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Beeswax
15 drops Lime Peel Essential Oil
A few drops of Vitamin E Oil (optional, but recommended)
Lip balm preparation: Coarsely chop the beeswax or use beeswax pastilles. Place beeswax and oils in a small pot or glass Pyrex measuring cup and gently heat in the top of a double boiler until the beeswax has melted. Once melted, remove from the stovetop and add essential oils and Vitamin E Oil. Immediately pour the mixture into lip balm containers.

Makes approximately 1.5 oz of lip balm, enough to fill 10 lip balm tubes, 6 of our 1/4 oz plastic jars, or 3 1/2 oz tins or plastic jars.
Experimenting with Lip BalmIt’s fun to concoct lip balm recipes using your favorite botanical ingredients and essential oils! As a general rule, use 3 parts of carrier oil to 1 part of beeswax (omit butters from your calculations since they are solid at room temperature). If you feel as though your lip balm is too soft, re-melt it and add more beeswax and if it is too hard, re-melt and add more oil. You can also adjust your recipes with the seasons: harder lip balms are better for warm summer weather and softer lip balms during cold fall and winter months. Add essential oils at your discretion, a general amount is 2 drops per container, but this varies depending upon the essential oil used. Less is better when it comes to essential oils; you don’t want to end up with lip balm that will sting or irritate your lips.

Happy lip balm making!
