That was a pleasure to read. Proper grammar and seldom-used words are like seeing a double rainbow.

When my goats start milking, ill likely be drinking about that, lmao.

if it smelled okay.

My papaw taught me how to clean game when I was three. my dad taught me how to shoot at four. my mom taught me how to make suncatcher-cookies. how to build a custom handgun. how to use a bandsaw. how to reload ammo. how to rewrite computer programming how to find all the hidden Mario levels. card tricks. how to build a…

We spens less than $50a month on food fo rthree people. I grow a garden and raise my meat, though. If you are in an area that allows it-I really suggest a few backyard hens. They are inexpensive to care for and produce an egg every day/every other day-plus they're hilarious. If you're an apartment/rent house dweller, get…

Still on week one here, but my opinions so far: 1. I had to go up a calorie bracket after two days. I was dizzy and weak-no workouts. 2. The DAY I moved up a bracket I felt better-it literally took one extra container of yellow,green, and purple to balance my blood sugar. 3. Im still pissed about the size of my cheese…

My husband: wow, those skinny jeans look great on you! Me:.....they're boot cut....not skinny jeans....

Just started Insanity (again-first round was completed in 2011 and I did many many more) . Took a very long hiatus from working out, today is Day 3 and OHMYGAWD everything hurts again! The good news is I've done this all before and I know the pain is temporary!

I was on a RT4 group on Facebook for a small while. After reading about people buying PALLETS of mangoes and bananas every few days and eating a 5lb bag of potatoes for dinner I had to leave for my own sanity. FYI-anything that suggests you eat a meal consisting of 5+lbs of any single food cannot be sane.

True! I realize there are just some thing I cannot do-like build a goat house. So its halfway done until hubby can finish it this weekend (he chewed me out for trying to finish it and subsequently falling from a 9' beam....onto my neck) I'm also an obsessive note taker, which helps me micromanage a little more efficiently…

I always say I live in a house of toddlers. "Jasper! Spit that out! We do NOT eat crayons!" "Stop yelling at your brother! He is NOT touching you!". "NO NO NO you're going to fall and break your neck! Get down!" "ONE...TWO..."

You guys all sound phenomenal :D

I HAVE eaten raccoon and opossum :) haha

are the Carolinas as beautiful as I've always heard? I have a super easy yeast bread recipe I use :) Dissolve 2/3 cup sugar in 2 cups warm water and add 1.5 TBS active dry yeast (NOT quick yeast). Let it sit until its a creamy foam. Mix 1/4 cup olive oil and 1.5 tsp salt into the bowl. Add and mix 6 cups of bread flour to…

thank you :) honestly, the saying is true: do what you love and you'll never work a day.I have rescued animals since I could walk, so when my husband said, "eggs are expensive. Let's get chickens!" I was ALL OVER it. The only times I desperately want a break is if I get sick or if its really cold outside. I'll go wrangle…

I have Nubians (the ones with really long ears), lamancha (the ones with no ears), one fainting goat (who does not faint), and one Boer goat (the 4h breed). They're absolutely spoiled. We aren't milking yet but two of my girls are expected to kid by thanksgiving :)

we unfortunately laid both my babies to rest recently to White Muscle Disease, but I may have pics of both Gyda and little Debbie in my profile.

WOW. I don't think I own that much weight! I originally stopped due to a muscle tear, but then hubby lost his job and (I love him dearly buuuut) I'm the only one who knows the ins and outs of livestock care so I was suddenly under the gun to make ends meet. I learned to tan pelts and we started fur trapping, which led to…

Truthfully, its just a lot of walking :) to the feed shed, to the rabbits, feed shed, goats, feed shed....well you get it.

My husband was home from september-march and then june-today so I'm suddenly realizing the cats aren't good conversationalists (one is snarky, another is ADHD and keeps wandering off....*sigh*) I was ALMOST at a 305lb dead lift when I quit to start The Adventure Into Self-Sufficiency (or...Why Did We Think 150 Chickens Was…

you dream of getting goat cud spit up in your hair before you've had coffee? Takes all kinds I guess ;) (In the goats defense, I guess I COULD have poured the feed out faster...)

Hi, I'm Kelsi! 24, need to lose 15ish pounds. I also periodically upload adorable pictures of baby animals we have.

I have no kids of my own, but my mom had a two-point tantrum dispeller. 1. Crazy eye. This was the look before the storm. I could choose to stop here. 2. The "speaking without moving teeth" thing all moms can do-and the words uttered by every southern mom, "I am giving you to the count of three before I give you something…

I live a self sufficient lifestyle and raise all my food :D hooray hippies!

We have about $30/month for groceries. We grow or raise our own food. This morning I had eggs, biscuits, jelly, and cheese-all homemade. Noms.

Not cool. I've been clipped by a car doing this-call the cops. It is one thing for a day but EVERY day and she can't move her car 6"? No. All else fails (our cops didn't care) chunk a rock or whop her car with a stick.

Yep. Dogs, cats, a sick rooster, and two baby goats.

I wouldn't know how skinny hate would feel. Even at 83lbs, my grandmother would remind me how I wouldn't be pretty if I gained weight and I should still try and lose a few.

Cereal. I just keep adding more to the bowl....until the box is empty.

I post my daily chores (ie feeding animals) because it takes walking about three miles and over an hour to get it all done.
