About Twisted me

living and learning the twisted way

wow  what the wtf is this? seriously its one of my personal mindfully awesome family traditions I TWISTED! after writing this post here!

ok you read the post and now your in and wanna do it! yay now what?

simple, seriously!:

find, buy, or hell make a favorite change keeper! mine is a favorite antique coke pitcher! collect coke stuff but will not drink it I hate the taste! im so TWISTED!

1217181010_Burst01

go to your bank and get change rolls free, or buy some at the dollar tree!

1217181010a

set up collection station! I used my kitchen as that is where we walk into our humble abode!

2018 pics 136

start dropping in all your change! – this part has became a daily happiness and fun event per say for our whole family! “yay I got a dime to put in the jar! or a penny! we even had a few friends drop a quarter or so in while visiting as they enjoyed it as well!

key things to remember!

  • make sure you like the change container- adds to the positivity!
  • pick a date or dates to hold the rolling party! mark it down!- we do it 2 times a year! (June, as part of our summer blast off party! & Dec. as part of our Yule traditions for the month!) but twisted it to you!!
  • take pictures! the fun just piles on and we love to see and have memories of the events we hold yearly! ( we add them to our HOLIDAYS DAILY ALBUMS! )
  • decide what to do with the rolled change! we use June’s for summer fun and December’s towards  Yule gifts and activities! (again twist it to your lifestyle! be mindful thou!
  • this  is also a wonderful way to help kids learn to count money!

all in all a great inspirational and helpful way to make every day memories and teach along the way!

Yes yes! I am aware the dates on pics are way old these are to show you how long we have been enjoying this activity! see MINDFULLY POSTING!! lol!

what do you do with your change?- hell do you even see change anymore?- or is this a old times past for you!? the feel and smell of change- the memories!

regardless happy change collecting! see ya next time for more…..

the only problem was I had no idea that there were sp many photo a day challenges available! seriously I scrolled and clicked like for ever…ok thirty mins but felt way longer!

then I decided to go with one that had lists that I would enjoy looking back on in the future! That made it way easier to decide actually!

That said,I decided to use this site:https://fatmumslim.com.au

I was in touch with this list so it was a winner winner Christmas ham dinner!! I also like the options of how to get the lists, and able to sign up for reminders!

twisted bonus to myself also was the fact there is a Photo a day Archives – Fat Mum Slim– if you wanna use last years lists instead! (full year listed here!)

So, awesome indeed!

monthly binder making -2019!

 

monthly binder making -2019! here we go!

simple steps here I promise!

1. grab, buy, or make  a favorite Binder! – to be used daily to hold all your “monthly things page wise!”

I found this one at the dollar tree it made me smile so I am using this one indeed!

2. Gather all your papers , used tracked , for the month you are making your starter binder! I always start a new on in January as it is the start of a new year! but hell do it when the mood hits ya too! I originally made this binder idea in may or June! so no set month is required!!

here is my “stash” sorting was fun & rewarding! I learned 3 things fast! 1. a basket is a shity place to hold papers, if to small! 2.  the the basket “drop off “  idea worked but I needed a better more organized plan, a.s.a.p.! 3. that day I hatched a new system!  12 months of manila !

1534291210159

a much better, faster, no stress way to deal with paper clutter and bonus I still put my basket to use! see the how’s and whys on that here!12 months of manila!

 

but on to the binder making- focus focus!!

3. place the pages in  page protectors, and then into your binder! please note some will remain in your binder month after month if you are anything like myself!

here are my starter pages & why I picked them!:

so new year new goals, new inspirations! for the most part some are still tagging along from last year! hey small steps!

so I found this helpful post on Pinterest.com!866ab79160faae1998907322565ef561

then I realized it did not actually help me much at all! I only found #5,# 6 and # 43 inspiring as a lot of these i do already !

(done or continued from last years new years goals!)

so then I just grabbed my coffee, a quiet place and I thought about my life my goals and my own inspirations! and all by my lonesome I came up with theses:

  • complete a year worth of daily photo challenges! I love making daily memories!
  • do a year worth of Bento lunches for my children (together)
  • continue my food bucket list, for 2019! (we really enjoy that one!)
  • catch up on my holiday daily & scrapbooks!
  • get back into my best life routine!
  • continue to use my self love and gratitude Journal this year! ( time well spent!)
  • finish my family cookbook!

well that was easier than i figured! and I am happy with the final list including the # 5,6, and 43 from above my new years goals for 2019 and planned and ready!

do you make yearly goals? share in the comments below!

well this fine post is  a wrap! see you next time!

What the hell has happened where the hell did my family go?


Leslie Rebecca Stains

October 18, 2016 ·

This poem came out of me as is, no pre ponder, no pre thinking! I just read the “family” group messages, and I got to tell ya I cried! got pissed! then I smoked a cigarette and got real! and felt compelled to write a poem… freely outta feelings and reality as I see and feel it, here ya all go….

What the hell has happened where the hell did my family go?
why all the fighting and all the words of hatred and pain ?oh hell no!

why the hell did you all lose your head? stop for a second and take a breath and stand back and focus for a minute here , but do it smart do it for a few mins with your just heart…not your head, not with your anger or pain but with the soul mom and dad did start!

I cant believe my eyes, were all divided and grouped by opinions or feelings, how the hell did this come to be, oh damn rip family I suppose the family died!

I see a lot of shit up in here I agree its out of wack, but god damn it we’re family true,, weather you like it or not

stop dividing like demons and see the evil you are growing, stop and think of dad, and our family and where the hell that is going!
every one is up in arms over all the wrongs, but what about all the rights!

and all the times that family has pulled together to back a fight, or support each other when the hell of life had one of us strapped and kicking our ass!

When no one else was there and we as family came together as one…what now were only family when someone is dead or dying- fuck that why did we stop trying?

I cant believe my eyes, were all divided and grouped by opinions or feelings, how the hell did this come to be, oh damn r.i.p family I suppose the family died!
The family I was blessed with
the unique ways it was
might of been twisted and a tad fucked up
but to me in my heart it was the best one! the only one that i got!

I respect you even when you didn’t deserve it because your my family I do this, because I love you all open heartily! cause your my family and I refuse to let words destroy it or because opinions seem to get in the way ,, open your heart and see whats real before its to late. and we the family fade away!

or just sit back and drink one for me, and take a moment to reflect on the family as it was meant to be ,,, and repeat this in silence within your heart ..and hear the tears falling, and the crushing sounds of truths that play through my heart !

I cant believe my eyes, were all divided and grouped by opinions or feelings, how the hell did this come to be, oh damn r.i.p family !

I suppose our family died!
The family I was blessed with
the unique ways it was
might of been twisted and a tad fucked up
but to me in my heart it was the best one! the only one i got!

we all have a truth that we carry day to day..is family worth keeping, and learn to forgive, and attempt to understand or just throw it all away? over words,mend able feelings,misunderstandings and walk away..
I always stay and try, I have never turned my back
truth be told being the youngest
I fear i will be the last to stand, and the last to die
but til then for this family, and ALL INCLUDED I WILL STAND TALL! for I believe in mothers words, no matter what the cost family is family and losing that is not worth any cost!! or choice your pride and walk away ..R>I>P family….i am sorry we died!

 

snakes n poles:

Leslie Rebecca Stains is feeling amused.

March 5, 2016 · Blairsville ·

written by myself, with inspiration from an actual phone call from one of my oldest friends…thanks for the inspiration and all the laughs !!

hold my beer
and watch this shit
I gotta make a hole
for my pole
KY got nothing on me
I got this shit good n tight

but, oh snap
where’s my light?
oh shit this aint good
now my hole is outta sight
I’m in a tight spot now
if a snakes in here fuck it
I don’t share my beer!
hold up a sec where the hells my beer?
I slid outta the hole and back to some light
to spot my computer screen flashing black n white
now I got that damn song stuck in my head!
oh look I found my beer
and out of the window
I spot a deer
but I left my gun at my brothers
and the bows to far away to reach in time
fuck it , its beer thirty time!
back to honing my hole
shit, oops I made more than one
but oh well at lest now it is done
my beers still cold ,
with snakes n pipes I did that shit
and all on beer thirty time!
ommpa loom pas got nothing on me
I piped a hole
with no shame!
or is this all a dream
my brain did conceive?
no its all true that’s what she said!
she was on the phone the whole time laughing her ass off
at such a fucked up phone call
as it sounded dirty as hell
but in real life
I was fixing a broken water pipe
you dirty minded little fuck!!

well screw you too

Leslie Rebecca Stains

March 10, 2016 · Blairsville ·

well screw you too
that’s what I say
I am tired of the games you play
I tried to befriend you
and treated you real swelll
then you stab me in the back
your sorry ass can go to hell
you spread pictures of our private past
you shared stories that were not for the present
and re ripped opened up my past
you did an evil deed its true
I know it n so do you!
so do me a favor n run away fast
n all the while kiss my ass
I cant complain to much
as I did get the biggest laugh
indeed its true you see
my life is 100% better with out thee
f off n leave me be
