Hair brained Ideas

Perhaps the title to a collection of short stories based on my life Hair brained Ideas would certainly be accurate.  I can't think of too many ideas that I have had that have been sound and reasonable but where's the fun in that, right!

On Monday, I announced that I had another hair brained idea.  I never actually announced the previous idea so I'm going to do some self promoting here and tell you about both. 

On May 7, 2016 I purchased my Aunt Jo's rug loom, fabric and supplies.  With the help of my cousins Helen, Rob and Judy and the supervision of Aunt Jo, Danny and I moved this 80 year old (at least) loom from Cedar Rapids to West Des Moines.  Then it sat in the garage until the basement was ready for it.  Then it sat in the basement assembled but shrouded in cardboard because there were too many kitties in the house.  Then the basement bedroom was vacated and in it went.  It was reassembled and between the Internet and books, I figured out how to warp it.  With 333 individual warps, it was incredibly time consuming to get it all together but here I am, 15 months later with 11 completed rugs and going strong!

The second hair brained idea came to me a few weeks ago after being introduced to some pretty great face products.  I have been in the drugstore face product business for a few years and have read my fair share of labels.  And by read, I mean mispronounce chemical and synthetically produced product names.  It got very discouraging.  Now, I would like to consider myself a tree hugger, but I am a lazy blade of grass hugger at best, but the idea of letting all that stuff seep into my body through my biggest organ was a little (a lot) disconcerting.

So a friend of mine posts on facebook about this One Drop Wonder.   Cold pressed hedgeballs is what it is, but ask me and I will tell you that it is a magic elixir.  I use it on my face, of course, but have also put it on cuts that then heal faster and my itchy spot on my inner arm went away completely overnight.  I was intrigued and now folks, I am hooked.  So it only seemed logical that I become a sales representative of the company that makes such a product...

So if you have been keeping track and I haven't, these are hair brained ideas numbers 847 and 848.  The first hair brained idea I ever had was to marry a boot private first class at the age of twenty.  Since that one turned out so well, I figure I am just going to keep at em.  I hope you will join me on these two new adventures.
