Whatta week!

So, I know I popped off the grid again. Sorry. Here's why:

And as if Mother Nature reads my effin mind. We get this bad boy:

Muhm, That's a tornado. About a mile away from my house. My Mom, Dad and little bro where all freaking out as I was running outside with my iphone to take pics. I would have gotten my SLR, but I didn't have time. Tornadoes don't scare me. Lighting, does, but a twister never ever has. I wanted to be a storm chaser when I was little. I get this high. It was the coolest thing, seeing it rotate. Because, you can have a funnel cloud, and if it's not spinning, it's not active, and you're safe. As soon as I saw it rotate, my Dad (Who was outside with me) Was like 'GET IN THE HOUSE NOW!'.

I wanted to stay out and watch the whole thing. 

Everyone was okay. Everything turned out fine. 

Then! A few days after, I officially became one with Lapeer. I shot my first gun off. It was a 22 semi-auto. Pretty nifty. I also shot a 22 rifle, 22 pistol, a 44, and 12 gauge. And I now hate the movies. There is no effin recoil, ever! I was watching the Walking Dead, and I'm like, 'They can't do that, they would get hit in the face!'. Which, I almost whacked myself one with the 44. The 12...oh man. I have a bruise on my shoulder. And I only shot it once. My poor Dad and BF have a huge one from shooting it off way to many. But there is a place in Lapeer called 'The Pit'. It's all open, and you can bring stuff to shoot. We brought Bman's science project, and an old monitor. Soo much fun! 

I also got THE COOLEST THING EVER!  It's called 'Cuppow'. It's like a sippy cup lid, for a wide mouth mason jar. I love mine. I drink out of mason jars a lot. And with summer coming (or just 80 degrees on the first day of spring. You know. That stuff....) I am in love with cold brew ice tea.
I got a cool idea coming in another blog post, so stay tuned!

(Morning iced coffee)

Stay cool my friends!

Share your Blog Swap on Swap-bot.

For those that know me, I love swap-bot. It's amazing.

For this swap I had to go to other blogs, and write a review, so here it is: (Sorry I am late guys!)

Kraftykj's blog: My Jungle of Life in Oklahoma: This Blog is about the musing of a crafty mother of 3 teen age boys in Oklahoma. Karen features her mail, life, her venture into art journaling, and even a few recipes!  She even has a few frugal tips, and of course her family!  Her blog has a nice homey feeling to it, and a lot of her topics are stuff you can relate too. Karen updates regularly, which is awesome, because content is key.  And I am totally digging this purple cat quilt she did in Oct. Over all, you can tell is a busy, grateful, crafty person, and I look forward to more of her posts J

Agentaemme's blog:Agenta Emme – Married Edition  Emme’s blog is a nice crisp blog. From her pictures, you can tell she is full of life. She blogs about the things around her. She posts her goals and progress, which I think it a really cool way of keeping yourself on track. She even has some product reviews, and explains what some foods are. (Which, I know what morels are, which will come handy for the zombie apocalypse.)  She also has a kuerig, which is not really relevant, but I think they are awesome. I love love love Emme’s voice when she writes, kinda remind me of myself! You can tell she is just one of those people who beat to her own drum.

Deviantdivine's blog: Bedding Down in Bedlam (tumblr) This blog is pretty new, she started in January. She has a sporadic voice, which makes the blog fun. She also talks about music a lot. I love the taste in music. And if you are reading this, thank you for finally getting me to sit down and listen to the new M.I.A song! Rebecca often posts from work. She has the ‘This is my blog, and I will do whatever I want on it’ feel. Much like mine.  On her Tumblr, it’s short little musings. Ones what wouldn’t fit into a blog post. I look forward to following her tumblr, and her blog!

TeaWithLemon site: Tea With lemon Photography Tea With Lemon features a lot of crafting findings. She as photography, (of course) art journaling, mail, and her findings. She also likes her colors a little cooler, like mine. Cooler color people unite?  She is a beautiful art style. Teach me how to draw people? She also shows her mail art, and the art she gets. I love how this blog had pictures. From my blog, you can see, I’m a picture whore. I hate reading sometimes, and I just like to look at pictures. This is one of those blogs.  She even has some freebies, because  who doesn’t love freebies?!

Last but not least::

TiffanyAnnDavis87's blog: Tiffany's MailBox Tiff is my age ish. And this is a mail blog. I love mail blogs. Her blog is a little newish too, starting in Feb. I have tried to log my mail via blog, but that never worked out. She also makes jewelry and the like. I love her book thongs! She has pen pals from all over the world. She has a dog, and a cat. They are both really cute! I can’t wait to see the mail she sends and receives.  I look forward to new posts!   

( And  sorry for the huge wall of text!)

Here: Have a Chloe: 

(She's 17, folks!)

Get it out there.

Serious business Guys.

Please watch this:


I know it is almost 30 minutes long. It is so worth the watch.

If you don't want to watch it, I'll tell you.
Joseph Kony. That is who it's about. And why is this Kony guy so important? He's responsible for over 30,000 abduction of children in Uganda, Sudan, and Congo. What does he do with these children? The Girls are used as sex slaves, and the Boys are given guns, and are forced to kill their families, their neighbors, and who ever Kony sees fit. The ones who disobey are either killed, or horridly mutilated. 

We finally got people on 2010 from the US to help. 100 battle ready advisers to help the Ugandan military get Kony. Kony found out, and is now changing his tactics. The people now need our help, more then ever.

So what can you do? Spread the word. Tweet, Facebook, talk about it. And if you think it's a lost cause, remember, what would happen if someone came into your house, and took your child. But, it's something bigger then that. It's about coming together, and making a difference. I mean, look at what we did for SOPA. 10 million people stood up, and did something. We came together, to make a difference. We can do that again, but instead of protecting our internet, let's protect people. Let's use the internet we fought for, and make something good of it. Let's make Kony famous, so that he can't be ignored. And when we do that, why stop there?

Mole-ass-is cookies.

I really wanted to do this yesterday, but work got in the way. And I know I haven't done an On Nom Mon in a really long time.  So, I'm sorry for this being a little late! 

Anywho, my favorite cookie is the Molasses kind. I like weird things. Well, I suppose they are not that weird, but I like 'em strong. 

Kinda going by this recipe here . I added a few things. What you need:

• 3/4 cup margarine, melted ( That's 12 tbsp.)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/2 bag chocolate chip

In a  bowl, mix together the melted margarine, 1 cup sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in the molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, spices; Then add chocolate chips.  Mix it all together. Cover, and chill for 1 hour.

When you bring it from being chilled, you do what I call 'dough bowling'. Make a mixture of sugar and salt. It makes a nice salty sweet thing going on. Roll dough into balls, or use a cookie scooper. Mom got me one after this because I was making a special batch of ones with chocolate chips and raisins. Then roll the dough around in the sugar/salt.

Grease pan, plop the balls onto the cookie sheet. 

Bake at 375*F for about 10 minutes. Or until they look done. They are a little bit of a crisper cookie. 

Dip 'em in coffee, that is what Melia does. Matter of fact, I made them because of her. I plan on  making some hot chocolate. They kinda remind me of ginger snaps.

ENJOY!
