A little rave and a whole lotta Rant.......

Today, I am going to rant about the Benefits of EO's, also known as Essential Oils. They are amazing. I have been using Essential Oils from Young Living for over a month now and they are my best friends. From helping heal a burn on my leg to virtually errassing a terrible sinus pressure headache. I have used them topically, in my bath, in my drinking water and my favorite way.....my home diffuser:

I love this thing! It uses water with drops of the oil to dispense a fine vapor of oil filled deliciousness into the room. It really does make a difference whether I am trying to get rid of an odor or just release my favorite oils into the air. I wanted to boost my mood so put a little Thieves in the water. Thieves is one of my favorite Oils, well that and Valor because it lessens Ron's snoring :)

I'll probably do one more dispurse today using purification to kind of cleanse and detox the air. Love me my essential oils. I even use one drop on my hands for Cheerio's Doggie Allergies. I also use purification oil in my Dishwasher and Washing machine. Makes stuff smell good. Especially, the dishwasher!

Good stuff right here........

Just like any other married couple, not all days are sunshine and roses, but we are pretty much sunshine and roses most of the time. Today I got the biggest chuckle when I opened the lid on a cake I recently made. That Ron cracks me up:



Can you totally tell which part of the cake Ron likes :) I laughed for five minutes about this. Silly Ron.

Now on to my rant. I am really beginning to think Huskers fan are going off the deep end when it comes to Football and losing. Yes, we lost last weekend to Minnesota. Were they a horrible team. No I don't believe they were. Fans spout off insults and hate messages faster than the team gets a chance to get back to Lincoln.

One of the WORST places in the social media world, that I personally believe WAY TOO much hate is being spewed is Twitter. I personally do not like twitter. Yes, you get instant information, news, updates, etc BUT in the world of sports you also have the opportunity for fans to immediately attack an athlete through their twitter account.

It sickens me. The stuff people say on twitter. It's like an open forum for complaining, bitching, insulting, attacking and even threatening. Social Media has it's place but I see far more negative then positive. I have left more Huskers and NASCAR groups on Facebook then I can count in the last two months. To Personally attack 17 and 18 years old on Twitter because of a messed up play to sending hate filled rants to a NASCAR driver. It's a bunch of silly bone heads who sit on their computer looking for ways to entertain themselves by insulting others.

SO for the Husker football fans, maybe it's time you start also following our Volleyball Girls, the Soccer Team, the Girls Basketball Team and our Wrestlers. I think you might be surprised that we have an amazing team of young woman and men, our football team included.....do I need remind you idiots about Jack Hoffman and what the team has done for Jack and his family? Or have you forgotten how a fine group of young men made the dreams of a little boy come true.

Oh another Facebook related rant. For the past few days there has been this Riddle going around on Facebook where if you didn't get the riddle right you had to change your Profile Picture to a giraffe. It was driving me nuts UNTIL I was on Pinterest and found this:

Which I promptly made my profile photo :) My thoughts exactly ;) and apparently me and the 36 other people who liked my profile photo and commented on it.

With that.....I am off to offer my support to the Nebraska Volleyball Team in Lincoln tonight. A great group of young ladies...GO BIG RED!!!!!

It's been a long time coming....

A new post that is. I have no idea why I lost my motivation to blog but it surely has gone somewhere. There are days I think "I really have nothing monumental to post about" and then I think I am doing this blog for me anyway :) Then I have a comment here and there from people that I didn't even know read my blog asking why I don't post anymore. Interesting and flattering at the same time. So I am sitting here thinking..."What could I post about today" and the only thing that came into my mind is "Why am I obsessing with my missing cups and plates" Yes, I have a dish disappearing fairy in my house. I am not sure what I can do to this fairy to make him (ummmmmm) them.....stop taking my dishes in his (ummmmmmm) their vehicle. No soup bowl, cup, mug and tupperware is safe, they are all potential victims of the dish fairy. He (ummmmmmm) they are a crafty lot because they also like to fly off with silverware too......so if anyone happens to see a patterned plate or mug matching this description.....please let me know:


and on another note of interest. I have alot of other things I would LOVE to vent off my mind on here in my little blog corner, but I shall refrain considering I would probably get in trouble...... :) and NO it has nothing to do with the above mention "He".
