Ok now this is just CUTE
I would never have been creative enough to think of this. But someone else was. You know those annoying drink pouches that your 10 year old leaves all around the house?? Capri Sun, Kool-Aid, store brand? Ok maybe your child doesn't leave them everywhere from the bathroom to the basement. But MINE does.
But anyways....back to the topic. Someone uses them to design bags. There are tote bags, wallets, shoulder bags. The are called Juicy Bags and they are super cute.
But that's not all.
Another blogger is giving you a chance to win one. And that means FREE. I am ALL about the free. So I thought I'd share the link so that you had a chance to win your own Juicy Bag also. And no, I didn't JUST post so that I could get another entry LOL. Although I admit I'd like to win. I never win anything. Anyways to enter go here.

Musings from the bathroom....
I was actually in the bathroom for a reason. And NOT that one :)
I went to take a picture of my medicine cabinet. Yep...medicine cabinets and bratz in the tub...im on a roll today....maybe that padded room isn't so far in the future. For my new readers...I consider the padded room to be my long overdue vacation....so I am patiently waiting.
Ok back to the medicine cabinet....this morning I had a mad blog reading fest...translation...I went through and read all my favorite blogs.....and while going through my blogs I went to Three Boys One Mommy and I found this post. Now, not being one to back down from a challenge....I decided to pursue it. But first I had a few moments of contemplation.
First I thought long and hard. Do I snoop in other people's medicine cabinets? It's been a while since I was at anyone's house not related to me....but I think I can remember that far back....and no I honestly don't. Not because I am not nosey. I am super nosey. But basically I have bathroom-o-phobia. Or whatever they call it when you are worried people will hear you in the bathroom. Like people are all sitting around going "shhhhhhhhh lets see what Jenni is up to". But still...its a phobia of mine. So for starters I avoid bathrooms at other people's houses. Which works. But when ya gotta go....ya gotta go. So I hurry. And I make sure I am super silent. Except for washing my hands. And for some reason I REALLY want people to know I wash my hands LOL. So no...I don't snoop. But now I may start just because of this post.
So that led me to my next thought.....have patience...I am getting to the challenge....but first I am showing you the workings of my crazy mind. So anyways my next thought was when was the last time I looked in MY medicine cabinet. And honestly folks, I don't remember. I don't use it. It's like storage for the small and mundane things. I have a nifty shelf that runs along the wall where I keep all of my essentials. So I truthfully didn't know what was in there.
Which brought me to think about strange things I've seen in bathrooms. And to be honest...it was at my moms. Early in my marriage...M was a baby....we were between places...story of my life.....and we were staying at my moms. So was my brother in law and his best friend. Strange I know. We are like flypapers for the homeless lol. Anyways....I went to the bathroom and for some reason I was in the diaper pail....maybe I was emptying it. And what was there? Under the dirty diapers?? Someone's 'adult' magazine. Now to this day I don't know whose it was. There were three men in the house. I use the term men loosely LOL. But whoever it was HAD to have been pretty darn determined to keep that sucker away from others to hide it in the diaper pail under stinky diapers.
But thats another topic for another day. Back to the medicine cabinet....what would be in there?? That's a loaded question around here. I found a pencil in the bathroom this morning. Courtesy of Madison. I know this because it was a HSM pencil.
But at least it wasn't going to be as bad as my last house. See M was younger then. And I had some....uh....novelties. And since she couldn't reach the medicine cabinet...I hid them there. Now that would have been creepy for the person visiting who did snoop through other people's medicine cabinets. Imagine their surprise! But I honestly forgot I had put them there. And when I moved, my mom packed the bathroom.
To say she wasn't thrilled is an understatement.
But that's another story for another day.
Back to the medicine cabinet. My next thought was....do I go clean and then snap a pic? or do I snap a pic and enjoy the humor?
Well....I'm a slacker.
So I snapped a pic and said screw it. LOL. So here's my pic of my medicine cabinet....
So part of the challenge was to talk about what is in there....so here goes...
bottom shelf: two half tubes of toothpaste and a toothbrush from when we first moved in-- 2 1/2 years ago. Yep that ought to be good to go! And the container on the left is the first aid kit Madison made in Girl Scouts. Now THAT we have used!!
Middle shelf: Ear disinfectant stuff from claire's from when we pierced Madison's ears-- 2 1/2 years ago LOL. 2 things of cold medicine. Some peroxide and Love's Baby Soft Spray. Yes I wear baby soft. I have allergies to most scents and that one I can stand!
Top shelf: A broke electric battery operated thingy toothbrush. Missing the most important part-- the bristles LOL. And various tubes of different types of ointments.
So our medicine cabinet is storage for dead toothbrushes and storage for....medicine! I'm shocked. I expected to find all sorts of goodies.
Now at least I know that if we move my mom can pack the bathroom :)

It's a good thing no one uses my bathroom...
I had such high hopes with Madison's 'fads'. When she got into Bratz big time....I was selling Bratz big time on Ebay. So when I purchased her tons and tons of bratz, bratz clothes and bratz feet....I thought hey....its a wise investment....I'll get it back when she's over them and I can sell them in one HUGE lot on Ebay. Especially with clothes and feet. Those go pretty well.
Fast forward a few years. Bratz don't sell as well. But that's okay. Because I am not sure these would sell well
The clothes? I have no idea. The feet? Unless I step on one in the middle of the night on my way to pee....I don't see them. This is what is left of her Bratz (and I think there are some Barbie's mixed in) collection. Well part of it. Obviously the tub is too small for all of them. This is how I found the poor things this morning.
There are more in there but I didn't want to seem like a Bratzophile. This is what hundreds of dollars gives you-- glorified naked bath toys! I swear they all had clothes at one point. Oh I have proof.....she just got a new Barbie for Christmas....and I took a pic to prove they came to the house clothed....
and here she is today:
And what does that have to do with anyone using my bathroom? Simple. I am a slacker. Those poor dolls are from last night. And they are still in my tub. And I took pictures and then what?? I left them there.
Yup....I'm a slacker.

Electronics wise...I am having a bad day...
EDIT: YAY my graphics are back up!! Now if my camera would work I'd be a happy camper!!
First off if you are reading this, chances are you see black background and then my funky banner up top. You don't see the crazy cool background or the little link buttons.
Why you ask? Well see I host my graphics on my webspace. Now I LOVE this webhost. Seriously. I pay them every 3 months so I can host my graphics there. And don't get me wrong. They are quick to fix things. I'm sure the problem will be resolved by the end of the day.
But right now, the site is down.
Which means I have no graphics.
Now for my blog this sucks. Because I worked so hard to decorate it. BUT...its something I can live with.
However, my blog graphics aren't the only thing I host there. I also host my ebay graphics and photos. So now my listings are blank. Just words. No cute template. No snazzy pictures.
UGH.
Soooo not something I can live with!
So then I go to take a picture of my medicine cabinet. Why? Well you will find out in an upcoming post.
But here's the issue. I plug my camera in to the USB cord and NADA. Nothing. Can't upload pics.
WTH
Now why do things always happen in multiples??
I can NOT be without a camera. And I do NOT want to spend part of my tax refund that is needed for bills on a new one. So everyone hope with me that its some minor thing that will fix itself.
Camera works perfect.
Maybe its the USB cord??
But...so this doesn't turn into just a rant
I had some very very special angels do some very nice things for me over the past few days. I can't begin to express how I feel right now. Maybe in the near future I can share more. But right now I still feel kinda private about some things. But they know who they are and what they've done.
No matter what else goes wrong today I will have a happy heart thanks to my britches. I love you guys!!

So what's the deal....
with the name change??
Well for those who don't know....this blog was previously titled Me, Myself and I- A crazy combination. But when I went to redecorate....I realized that well....I never talk about me....so why should the title be about me?
But I didn't want to title it about Madison because I do talk about other things. Plus she has her own blog.
So what could I title it??
Then a song came on the radio. It's an old song. But one I always liked. And yes its country...deal with it :)
The song is called Mi Vida Loca by Pam Tillis. Now for those who have never heard it, by now you are hearing it via my blog LOL. It's really a pointless song. But I identify with it. And the title seemed PERFECT for my blog. I mean who has a crazier life than me? Seriously!
So thats what I chose
Now my question is...Do I leave the music?? Or do I take it down?? I'm letting you decide. Tell me in comments whether to keep or toss the playlist. I know I sometimes get annoyed when I go to a site and music comes on. But then sometimes I enjoy it.
So since I don't often read my own blog. I'm letting the readers have the say. If you don't vote...don't complain :)
And with that I will leave you with the lyrics. Sooo me
If you're coming with me you need nerves of steel
Cause I take corners on two wheels
It's a never-ending circus ride
The faint of heart need not apply
Mi Vida Loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
Sweetheart before this night is through
I could fall in love with you
Come dancing on the edge with me
Let my passion set you free
Mi Vida Loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
Here in the firelight I see your tattoo
Mi vido loco, so you're crazy too
Mi Vida Loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
We'll go where the wind blows
And I'll be your wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
