Nuts and Nipples

image from Google search
I'm in a weird place today.
I feel squirrely.
I'm going off my nut.
I can't focus.
I'm excited.
And hormonal.
I'm like a chicken with it's head cut off.
And I feel like I'm catching a cold.
There's much to do and I want to do it.
I want a pet squirrel and I still want a pet crow.
I have the afternoon free and my mind is racing on what to do first.
I have a feeling pies, laundry, dusting and chicken feces will be involved.

A few notes from yesterday's blog...

I wanted to tell Donna in MO that I bow to you and your ability to get from Joplin to Six Flags in under four hours.  I have no words.  I am much nicer to friends than I am family members when it comes to travel, so chances are, if you did go on a hell run with me, it wouldn't be too bad.  We could stop twice.

I also wanted to address the basket that y'all keep talking about.
Yes, I did make it.
I didn't make it that day however - it was a basket I made a few years back during my 'basket phase'.  I go through a lot of phases - you have to know this about me - if something can be done - I want to know how to do it.  I'd have my own steel mill here if I had the time.  I have this hunger to know how things are made, and then I want to make them.  I made a lot of baskets during my basket phase, most of them looked similiar to Longabergers.  This was the only basket I made out of collected materials from the wild.  I had to soak the branches to make them pliable.  It was hard - and I almost gave up, but I didn't.  It's a small, gnarly, cobbled up basket, but my cousin liked it, so I gave it to him and he usually keeps his garlic in it.  I'm sorry if this has burst your bubble of me flitting about in the woods weaving baskets on a whim.  I like that image too.

Something that has come to my recent attention.
The Googled word 'nipples' will bring you to my blog.
Seriously.
This is why.
And I'm really not sure how to feel about that.
Turkey Nipples
I'm quite sure whoever it is that Googles nipples is most disappointed to find these.

  2. Oh, I remember those wonderfully delicious nipples from last year. So so yummy.

    When I get to spinning around about what to do, I usually just grab the closest project and get moving.

    Happiness to you...

  4. LOL!!! I saw the title to your post today,...and thought,...THIS is gonna be good....hehhehhehheh...
    As always you never ever disappoint. And the part about whoever googles nipples.{;-0 What the....??? Well they sure will get a good recipe, won't they????
    better than what they were searchin for ...orginally, I'm sure. The hard part would be having to tell people how they FOUND the delicious recipe ...mwahhahah. Be sure your secret moments will rise and come back to haunt you!...
    So it's one of those days...we all get 'em. ** I would LOVE to know what inspired or motivated you to want a pet crow. The only thing that came to mind was Uncle Billy in It's a Wonderful Life... And as for the squrrel, I figured you wanted the REAL thing to take with you in your little camper whenever you hit the road...like the official mascot??? Making me laugh love you! Have a good "off-balance" day!!

  13. Crows and squirrels are wild animals.
    Have you ever thought of starting a shelter type place where folks can bring injured or orphaned animals to you.
    You really shouldn't try to tame the wild healthy ones.
    Your basket is beautiful and so are you.
    Have you tried the progesterone cream yet? B.

  14. Ha love the nipple story... my husband calls neopolitan ice cream nipple-lean like Lay un he knows I find it hysterical! He is stupid in a good way!
    I wove baskets too, and sold Longaberger for a time... they are all in the top of the barn now.. I got over the clutter and the look. Guess I should give them away.
    I want to pet a squirrel but not a crow.... they seem a little scary!
    I am off to google nipples- I am brave like that.

  16. Could you would you make nipples to order? Would you could you ship them in a stick bowl?

    You should.

    To me.

  17. Well, I was almost afraid to open your blog when I saw the header. I thought maybe you HAD gone off the deep end and I might be getting an eye full. Tomorrow is another day...a day to calm the hormones and make peace with your own unsquirrely self. Hugs-Diana

  19. I love making these candies. My neighbors love it when I make them with Rollo candy topped with an M&M. I buy my pretzel rings at Meijer. I've never heard them referred to as nipples until today. Gosh Jayme, I may never be able to get that vision out of my head now.

  20. A bit of relief here - your title had me flat out nervous, Jaymes. You're a hoot CK.

  21. You mean Aaron didn't take the squirrel photo? What's up with that, Aaron? I want to see a photo of a squirrel sitting in one of your Auntie's baskets eating a nipple next to a steel mill.
