More Krav Injuries...
Uncle Josh and Braeburn came home for the weekend. On Saturday morning all the kids went to Krav. Braeburn and Josh spent the whole time trying to kill each other, (elbows and knees flailing everywhere I heard).
So when they got home the back of Braeburn's head was bleeding still. Uncle Josh planted Braeburn on the stairs, whipped out his EMP kit, donned gloves, and did a complete medical analysis. (he is totally fine). Josh seemed mildly disappointed; "gosh, the last guy I hit had to have staples in his head, etc...) But I am pleased that all is well, and also... just as a precaution, that with all the weaponry around, that no one was shot....

Ellie and the Play Dough
My Brother and his family came up to visit from California.
Ellie got a bit bored with the adult conversation so we made play dough.
Then we cut out all sorts of neat shapes.
Then we pressed her hands and feet into the dough.
Golden Delicious helped.
It is so much fun being with a three year old: imagination games, playing school, going on stroller rides... You cannot imagine how much I wish I had a little three year old of my own right now. They are perfection.

Black Eye at Krav
Prairie Spy ran into the corner of a fight pad at Krav this week. It gave him lovely black eye.
Everyone is jealous - Golden Delicious especially. She says getting a black eye is on her bucket list.
I think that sounds crazy.
But Prairie does look legit. We've come up with all sorts of interesting (untrue) stories about how he got it.

To Duchess or Not To Duchess, That is the Question
Well, I have done what seems like tons and tons of work on my great idea:
1. I have refined the idea like a billion times.
2. I have written adorable "day in the life of" stories so I can share ideas with people on how to use oils without running afoul of "regulations" (Mr. Bechtel required that one....)
3. I have developed a web site (which looks stupid and dumb still)
4. I have pretended to be a professional photographer and taken hundreds of photos of my great ideas.
5. I have sewn a lot of cute clutches with their own duchess essential oil labels.
6. I have further refined my "target market" to focus on the convenience of the clutches, hence the "start carrying" byline, which I think is genius.
7. And I've gotten sooooo close to selling them.... But then I realized at the end, that I cannot sell them on Amazon, because you cannot "bundle" things that other people manufacture and create your own UPC code....blah, blah, blah.
8. And I still don't want to spend tons of money to direct people to my website. So then I've also said, "well, Janene, this has been a very educational experience. But since you are not spending thousands of dollars to manufacture your own oils, etc. etc. it is probably over."
9. And then, I've stomped my foot because in the middle of this pity party I have a friend texting me asking me what oils she should use -- so I KNOW THERE IS A MARKET! It's all very frustrating.
10. So this is the chronicle of the little oils that should, but still aren't.
The Second Truck
Nova Spy has developed something of a car flipping business. This is project number two, "Charlie Brown." He just sold it. These are the pictures from Craigslist.
I especially like the shadow in the picture. So very craigslist.
Nice job Nova - doing good.
