Feedburner issue please read!

To all my devoted fans...I have fumbled with my feedburner and realized they had messed up somehow and my accounts were screwed up on their end...I still havent figured this out but anyhoo...if you could RE subscribe using the handy dandy form in the top right corner I would appreciate it...of course if you don't want my posts in your email don't, but if you do, please subscribe using the new link...my accounts look really good in feedburner now, they are all there lined up nice and I don't have to wonder anymore if they dumped this blog or what! LOL Sorry for the inconvenience

So much to talk about today

So I cant come up with a snappy title to suck you in! LOL

First off I want to say I am a blessed woman. i mean it. I am majorly blessed, and I know that someone up there smiles on me cause last night I found this:

Yes kids its a HUGE container of Yoo-Hoo! I have dreamed about this moment since I was a small child. The day when Yoo-Hoo would find the love in its chocolatey heart to make a larger than 12.5 ounce container of its uber chocolatey goodness. Yes, This is the happiest day of my life. Overshadowed only by the births of my children....but its a close call on that one. I am attempting to email my brother a picture of me with a carton of this flipping him the bird...I cant wait to hear him cuss! ROFLMAO! This has been his dream too, we even heard rumors they sold 2 liters of this in NY and we tried for years to find one on ebay with no luck. I cant wait to tell him what I found...and I found it FIRST!

~~~~~~~~~~~~Exciting business opportunities part of the post!

In other news I have send a submission to this really pretty site called I Heart Handmade,they contacted me on etsy (MANY people do this but there are very few I actually mess with) They are doing virtual craft show for earth day and it runs from April 15th thru the 29th. Its the Eco Friendly craft show, and I am so excited to be a part of it! I will post here with a link to my page when the show starts. I think this will be a good way to get my products out to the world, and I am even gonna give away a baggie of laundry soap too! YAY! and with each purchase in my etsy shop made thru the craft show site I will include a free half bag of laundry soap enough to do 10 to 15 loads in your choice of scents. Again, I will post here and on twitter and everywhere else I hang out when the show starts so don't worry I wont let you miss it! LOL

~~~~~~~~~~Soapy part of the post....

And another thing I ran across today was this site here Coming Clean Campaign. I was not shocked really to find out these "organic" and "Natural" bath and beauty and also cleaning products are full of carcinogens. I figured they were, and I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. I will stick to my vinegar and borax thanks.

******Blog post turns to preaching in 5-4-3-2-1.....

This is yet another reason to buy handmade guys! I have been saying for years that skin cancer don't come from the sun it comes from all this noxious chemicals we slather on our skin every day. Occasionally I will read the labels on some of the "organic" products at the store, and even the damn bath salts contain crap that shouldn't be there! I wont buy nothing from a retail store other than the most basic of needs. I know that everything else they sell IS hazardous to my health and I take a chance when I eat it, use it, spray it, or sniff it.

*********Helpful tips coming your way!

Its so easy to make your own household cleaners, Vinegar and water makes the best window cleaner, vinegar added to plain water makes a great solution for mopping, best I ever used as a matter of fact. Borax can clean your bathroom and make it shine, and cleans stoves and kitchen sinks up real nice too. I shine my sink up with baking soda and rinse it down the drain with some vinegar to keep the drains clear. If you cant stand the smell of vinegar (I HATE IT!!!!!!) Get a bottle of essential oil that you LIKE and put a few drops in with the vinegar mixture. It helps a LOT! My house usually smells like lavender when I mop the floors, not like vinegar.

So there it is. Make your own cleaners, save your health and butt tons of money every month. When I first started making my own, I was spending about 40 bucks a month on commercial cleaners for the house including windex,mopping floor stuff,bathroom cleaner,ect.. Since I started making my own my cost is now 3.75 for borax, and about 4 bucks for a gallon of vinegar that will usually last for 6 weeks. So I spend 7.75 for the same cleaning power I was spending 40 bucks on...AND.. I dont have all the empty spray bottles to throw out! I sanitized the last ones I used and I been reusing them for the past several years. Do it for your health, do it to save your hard earned money!

~~~~~~~~~Touching, Personal, and sometimes bitchy whiney part of blog post!

Maylee has been sick all week. Her fever got up real high one night and scared the living hell out of me. Now I am sick too. I have been running on 3 to 6 hours of sleep a night and I am beat. I am implementing a new plan for mine and Maylees health starting today. We will be megadosing vitamin C till the weather finally changes. I will do 2 grams a day and Maylee can do 250 to 500 milligrams...we will make Zinc candy a part of our every day routine too. This is the 2nd time in 6 weeks we have been sick. Before this it had been years since I was full blown sick with the flu. This is just too much!

Tyler has made Yellow belt in his Karate class! YAY! he tested a couple weeks ago and he passed! here is a video his instructor made. The one here I have linked to is his instructor at a tournament we all went to last weekend. He does some really cool moves.
Here is a video of Tylers instructor dropping some kid with one kick. he was 15 when he did this, and he says he let the kid know he was gonna roundhouse kick him, but he didnt even try to block it. Ahhh karate drama.

Maylee loves watching the fighter guys and trying to do what they do. She loves it when we take her in to Tylers Karate class. She is so cute with her kicks and punches.

OK I think thats it for all my babling and updates and whatnot. i wish I had more time to blog so I didnt have to make one huge post but I been super busy this past week with Sweet Baby sick and now I am sick...I still managed to make soap though...and I made more body butter too...

~~~~~~~~~You knew this part was coming...the blatant self promotion part!

Oh and I am having a sale in my artfire shop!!!!!!!!!

I feel like venting

I need to have an all out bitch fest, so here goes...

I go to the doctor wednesday and he is a new doctor. My old one whom I loved with all my heart apparently had to leave due to her MS getting worse. I now hate MS with a passion cause it took my Dr Stevens away. Anyhoo, I get this old dude, and old dude doctors tend to be...arrogant?? I dont know how else to put it. Well he obviously knew everything there was to know about medicine but guess what, I do too! I chose not to battle it out with this guy cause I increasingly am laying all my hopes in alternative therapies for everything wrong with me.

He does do SOME lab work I requested.He did a half a$$ check of my thyroid, and my T4 is borderline...like 1 point off from what they would consider abnormal...I have ALL the symptoms of hypothyroidism and some like my memory loss are severe.I have very little short term memory so if anyone out there has tried to email me or get anything out of me and I seem like I am on drugs, I am not. I have hypothyroidism and my short term memory is fried.Please forgive me and just keep wailing on me till you get a response LOL

He did check my iron cause he was more concerned about my iron than my thyroid...my concern lay in my thyroid but again he is not the one living in this fat vegan body and trying to do everything I am trying to do on half a brain and no energy. So we get the results back of my hemoglobin, and its 8. Keep in mind kiddies that hemoglobin should be 11 at the very least and I believe they consider you mildly anemic if its 11...I am 8. No wonder I feel like crap. How in gods name do I get everything done??!! Yeah I procrastinate like crazy but in the end I get it ALL done. SO I am severely anemic and I do have hypothyroidism regardless what arrogant a$$ says, and I have to treat this myself cause THEIR iron pills make me very sick in a very bad way and Mr Know it all smarty pants doctor wont give me levothyroxin (gives Doc the big middle finger)

I hit Bardstown rd...for those of you that live in Louisville you know this is where you go for "weird" stuff. I wish I lived there...GOD I WISH I LIVED THERE! I envy you highlanders!!!! Anyhoo back to the medicine....I go to the best health food store in the universe Amazing Grace Foods
I end up getting a bunch of vegan glucosamine, and something to kick my thyroid in the butt, and a multivitamin that mops the floor with all other multivitamins. It rules, seriously. I also found this great vitamin C powder that is 5 GRAMS of vitamin C per TEASPOON! OMG I now have glow in the dark urine, and I dont think thats normal....

I started taking all this stuff friday night, and I have to say I think i felt better on saturday...I seemed to have a bit more energy but it could just be a placebo effect.

So I mostly wanted to post this not only to vent but to let anyone know I am sick. I been sick like this for a while. I only bitch about my arthritis pain but I am really bad off in other ways too and I dont think I can keep up, so I am going to extend my "vacation" to the end of the month. I will take special orders for soap, and maybe 1 or 2 orders for bloomers, but I am not gonna let myself get swamped like I have been. Finances are better and I dont HAVE to. I need to focus on me right now cause if I dont there wont be a "me" to make no more soap or bloomers LOL Of course I want to have fun and make bloomers and soap LOL But as of right now I think I have all the orders I can take on for now. In my free time I will try to post some premade bloomers cause thats what you guys like!

And these holidays are coming up...I have a hard time getting into the "christmas" thinking cause we dont celebrate LOL. I always think its just cold outside, I dont have the "Christmas" mindset like everyone else...I am trying to do better with that in my soap shop though. i am focusing on seasonal scents and trying to get in stuff that the Christmas celebrating folks might like, but man, its hard trying to get into it LOL I dont "feel" it like everyone else, and we also dont watch TV so we arent being bombarded with it 24/7 too. So if I seem ditzy in the Christmas department, I am. I have not celebrated since 1999 for various reasons. I dont wish to spark a debate or step on toes...

but I have been Christmas free for a long time, and when I met Noor...well he never celebrated to begin with. it was a "christian" thing back in Malaysia, and something his family never partook of, and here he was astonished to find even the most sinful people participating in Christmas LOL Back there it was a religious holiday, but here its an EVERYBODY holiday. So when I found out he didnt celebrate either, well I fell in love again LOL Lots of things make me like his goofy ass...So each year we joke to each other, I ask him what he is getting his wife for christmas, and he will come off with some off color remark about diamonds are forever ROFLMAO! Or some other marketing ploy he seen on TV LOL We have fun with it, and its weird to us (non TV watchers) to see the shops immediatly transform from normal to Christmas hell practically overnight. I will always come home and tell him sometime in October or sooner, that Christmas must be coming the damn tinsel and lights are up in the stores. He comes back from an auto parts store yesterday telling me about Christmas music...with his half ass grin, he said it made him want to buy tools as gifts, LOL.

Its also funny when he works overtime at this time of year cause the people at work think he is working extra to buy Maylee a bunch of crap for Christmas LOL. I went thru that when I worked there with him...they thought we both were working hard to get Tyler a bunch of stuff, and then they would ask him what he was getting me for Christmas and Oh god it was just too funny. Those were good times, good times. I miss working with my husband. We got a lot done on our unit and we had fun too. I miss it.

OK so here I am wailing on Christmas....(sigh) Its the christmas music in the stores , it does this to me LOL.

So I am asking for all your "high hemoglobin" vibes right now. i want to get it up to 12 at least...I never have known myself to be above 11 really...but i am shooting for 12, and I go to be rechecked sometime around...December 25th...hehehehe....So I need to get more spinach and keep taking this awesome multivitamin, and hope for the best. I can do it!

Myspace getting deleted...venting

A dear friend proposed the idea that my profile may have been hacked...I blew off the idea cause my password is air tight, and I "know" nobody could crack it...however. Hackers are coming up with new cracking programs every day and its very possible somebody with absolutley NO LIFE may have cracked my password and canceled my account...its a possiblity I am not blowing off any more.

Now that I am considering this may be a possibility I remembered a few days ago, this past week where I was taken to a bogus myspace site and prompted to enter my password. I didnt do it cause I am lazy and since I am using Firefox as a web browser it automatically put in my username and password as long as the site is the same site I have been visiting...I seen my username did not pop up in the box in this particular site so I looked at the URL and sure enough it was a bogus myspace site. Kudos to the loser that made it...it looked like the real deal!

Anyhoo...that incident is making me think somehow maybe some moron was able to get my password thru some other means...I have no idea how. need to call my hacking brother on this one, I am stumped.

Tom swears he didnt do it....so hopefully he can tell me who did. Ya know I been emailing myspace constantly to get an answer as to who deleted my shit, WHY they deleted my shit, and how can I get my blog back if its even possible...and I get the runaround and stupid computer generated responses....I go to Tom’s profile and leave a comment calling him a fucktard, and demanding my blog back and I get a response...Hmmmm. The things you have to do to get peoples attention these days.

I will keep everyone updated as to what happened. There are so many people selling on here and so many people making political statements and I get targeted...I am starting to wonder now whats the deal....Maybe is was a hacker...God have mercy on his soul if I find out it was and who he is.
