Today’s “Question of the Day” is … just exactly when are the 12 Days of Christmas? Anyone that can get the answer correct without looking at the link gets bonus points! (I actually got 5 points of extra credit on an exam in college for knowing this.) If you want more information you can check out HowStuffWorks.com (beware of the pop-up ads) or Snopes (beware of the horrid midi file). Happy Holidays!
Just a thought…
When the title of your spam is to “Biggee your penis 3 inches in 22 days” … is that like super-sizing it? “I’d like the #4 penis and could you make it a Biggee for me? Thanks!”
Must make more soap. Very fixated on soap right now. Anyone need some Sudsalicious soap?
I really must find something else to right about. Oh! I know! If you don’t want to give your pennies to me, give them to the charity of your choice in honor of the penny drive for charity.
Tomorrow, I promise … something other than soap talk. If I’m not too brain dead from the temp job…
So far I have made inserts for 5 loaves of soap today and finished 4 other loaves of soap. I have washed my hands 53 times so far today at last count. Seriously. If nothing else, I am at least living proof that my soap is very moisturizing,plus recently I was able to get one of the best moisturizing oils as well!
Happy happy, joy joy … we have a wonderful, working Helpdesk for Blogomania clients now! YEAH! A huge thanks to Jennifer for getting it set up! Part of the reason why I wanted to get it up and running? Because Kristine is helping with support requests now during the hours I am away! Yes, I do actually leave the computer for a few hours every once in awhile…
Speaking of leaving the computer, I was making soap earlier and I realized something … I am very OCD about how my soap loaves come out. I patiently make everything by hand, so when I am placing the “chunks” in a loaf of soap I get picky about where the cubes fall. You can’t have a bunch of purple cubes all bunched up together, you know! Oh my. I think Elizabeth might be the only person that will truly understand this compulsive issue.
As for soap colors – Mike arrived on Friday before Jason’s pagent as I was wrapping up a batch of snowflakes. I don’t just use one shade of blue color. Oh no – there is the dark blue with the mica in it, and then there is 2-3 drops of the other blue along with 2 drops of red. To get it to the “just right” shade of blue. I can’t have it any other way.
I have more fragrances around here then I have soap designs. How did that happen? A secret on how I come up with the soap designs … I smell a fragrance, and then I think about what colors come to mind. From there, I look for inspiration on what the scent represents to determine how to make the soap design. Unfortunately, there are only so many “looks” that I can make, so I am afraid that after awhile they all start to look the same!
Speaking of Mike, Jason & I went to “Lights in the Heights” to see him perform (with the Lager Rhythms) and then we went to the Christmas party at Charles and Tiffany’s house. They have a gorgeous house and it was the perfect setting and a nice end to the evening (even with my horrid migraine). Lights in the Heights was so beautiful – I can’t believe I’ve been missing it all these years! The Lager Rhythms were great as usual – I love watching them perform. Now I’m feeling all festive and so I was in a panic earlier when I realized all the stuff I need to finish between now and Christmas – and I’m starting a 5-day temp assignment tomorrow. Speaking of which – I’ve got a ton of stuff to do – so after I finish writing out my list I’m off to do more!
