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!

Last night was Jason’s school pageant and afterwards Mike, Jason & I went out to dinner with my parents. Good food at Goodson’s Cafe – yum, yum! Then Mike & I headed off to the birthday gathering at Elaine’s house. Towards the end of the evening I was sitting outside with Elaine’s husband Kenny, John, Robert, and Mike. Random conversation ensued and somewhere in there I was told at least twice if not more that “He’s a keeper!” and that “You should hang on to him!” Well, I knew that already, but when I noticed this article this morning it brought up an interesting thought – just how do you know that “you’ve got a soul mate”? (There term, not mine.) How do you know that someone is truly special? What have been “the signs” for you?

Most of my temp assignments in life have been pretty low key. Years ago, I temped for about 3 months – some long assignments, some short ones, nothing too eventful. I am thanking God now that they weren’t like the ones you can read about over at NotMyDesk.com. Oh, thank you God. (Be sure to read the “Go Fish” story if you want to know the reason behind my sudden religious gratitude.)

Oh, and if you actually have a job and you’re at work while you try to read those – look out. They are hysterically funny and you will be laughing quite loud. This will cause your co-workers to notice that you’re goofing off, and then … well, you too might be dealing with Temporary Insanity!

I’m still a bit worn out from going through what had to have been one of the quietest temp assignments ever today. (Temp Assignment ver. 1.2, if you’re keeping track.) There was a point in time where I literally had nothing to do other than stare at the walls for about an hour. Nothing. Finally I pulled out the book that I had in my purse and started to read. I couldn’t take it any longer – you may be surprised to learn that you can only stare at the walls for so long! Oh well, it’s money. I can’t really complain that much.

Today’s driving tip of the day? If it’s hazy, raining, and the roads are wet – do not be a total IDIOT and cut off an 18-wheeler. The guy has left that gap of room there for a reason and it’s so he doesn’t rear-end the other car. You hop in the middle … well, now you’re just asking for it. Don’t do it.

Today’s office tip of the day? Ladies, if your perfume is so strong you can smell it from a mile away – on yourself – then you are wearing too much. For those of us that are sensitive to perfume I have to speak up – PLEASE STOP!

The latest strange search request? Nude Advent Calendar. WTF? When I think of Advent, nudity doesn’t ever factor in to it. Although you know … now that I think about it … that could be kind of interesting. Oh well, I must go make some soap first before I can start another project!
