Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

 So seriously,  do you ever just feel like the elements or the universe  is out to get you? HAHA... and I am sure that  you probably shake your head at the stuff that happens to me. It has been this way all of my life. When it comes to the skin, I started my life with  eczema as an infant.  Also, had some pretty wicked bouts of that growing up. In my late 20's I got an infection in the blood, from the eczema that caused some horrible issues like boils that would just pop up all over my body. With that infection I could only use one kind of detergent to wash clothes in, one soap to bathe with, etc. Last summer when I got  eaten up by the chiggers, it took all summer to heal. I am not starting this season off any better. Two weeks ago while working in the yard,  I developed this rash on  my arms and it seems to be  refusing to heal. On Friday while planting and potting plants, I  came in contact with  fire ants. Now, I have nine...

 Have you ever wondered if you had folks that came over on the Mayflower? While scrolling FB I saw  a page where someone post the passenger list of the Mayflower. I jumped over to the  internet to check it out and found it was real, Posting the link to the  internet here for you too look and see if any of your family members were on the Mayflower. Mayflower Passenger List — MayflowerHistory.com I have to admit that I never  wondered but it was pretty cool thinking that maybe. Yes, I did check and saw no names  I know.  On Thursday night as I  was crawling in bed,  I saw a dead bee in the  bed.   Not sure if it came in  on my clothes after being out working in the yard or if one of the  girls came brought it  in off the deck.    Glad it was dead, and I did  not get stung. But I would like to know how he got in my bed. Talking about being stung, Friday I went out to play in my  plants and while movin...

Morning everyone! Friday morning I decided to take my coffee in bed. It's just so nice and comfy and  since I was not ready to  get up to begin with,  I came back with coffee  in hand. Today's post will consist mostly of things I pull from FB since I have really not been getting out to take any of my  own. I think I have settled into being somewhat of a home body. YUCK, something I thought I would  NEVER  be. Anyway, here goes. I personally just want the magic to give me  the energy and strength to get things done today.   I saw this on FB this  morning. Course my mind started working. Thinking  that I will do one for  Brayden, Hannah, Evie and  Beckman.  One for Caleb, Triniti, Boog, Felicity and  the new one coming  for Christmas. I have buttons!! Bet you thought,  "well, of course you do"!! This is a good idea but my thoughts are that I would  be filling those little cups several times a day in ...

I might be a cat. I however, do sleep at night and I have trouble ignoring or tuning out others.   But I have the rest of  it covered. FYI  for my animal lovers. I used to use pumpkin for  the digestion and it's also  good in help cats pass hairballs,  instead of finding them  here and there. What I hate is stepping on a pile of hairballs/up chuck. Prob need to get Lily back on pumpkin since I had to wash my bedspread the other day, thanks to an up chucked hairball.  Terry, how do you handle this with all your  fur babes? Oh my, I love it! This is so adorable. Remember the chairs I  did for the great grands? I found out that Caleb and  Triniti use one of theirs for a time out chair. Yikes, so not what my thoughts were when I  painted them. And Evie uses hers for  watching tv and drawing. At least they are being used. Had to take DJ for  an apt in Centerville on Wed. then I took him to get his hair cut. Outside th...

 I am always looking for cool things to plant in for  the outside. I found these buckets marked down.  Regular price for these was 7.49 and I got the only two on the shelve for 1.87 each. I have already drilled holes in the sides for  drainage. I also saw this marked down. Regular price was 8.49 but the mark down price was 2.12. Not planting in this but I just wanted it. I also crabbed some  Twizzlers at the dollar store. I was shocked since I  have not bought any in  awhile. The size was  shorter and they are not near as thick. Yet the package is the  same size and you can see where there is now so much space in the bag. I had several stops to  make but I really enjoyed looking around Hobby Lobby, but I  always do. I saw these cute drinking cups.  A camera and purple,  but no, I did not get one. haha I also ventured up and  down the jewelry making  rows. Not really needing anything but just looking. I saw this l...
