I need to listen to more Beatles music

I was exhausted this morning. I changed my routine in the last few weeks to having cereal before getting ready, so I can watch the news and find out right away if Chicago blew up overnight. This morning I was putting my bowl in the sink to discover I hadn't added water when I was starting the coffee this morning, and had therefore made a coffee-smelling pot of air. I should switch things again, since I am good for nothig the first 15 minutes I'm awake. I've had surreal dreams lately, which never helps. Tuesday night I dreamed I had been shot in the neck, and was moving slower and slower as I ran out of blood. I felt like I was drowning in tired, if that makes any sense. Last night was something about schoolbusses and water and reefs. We've set up a schedule for talking late at night, but I haven't been doing that this week. It just goes to show how much that helps since I am twelve kinds of tired without a nap halfway though the week and staying up too late.

But enough about tired, how about some saponification? Deonna's been making soap crafts for a few weeks, and I bought some supplies that wre on sale this week. Here are my first three:

The one on the left is clear on top and smells like orange, the center one has chopped-up oatmeal and smells wonderfully like honey-almond, and the third has chunks of rose petals and lavender and REALLY smells like lavender. I want to try them out, but I wanted to show D and Austin first this weekend. Then I'll see how nice the chunky soap is, or if it just leaves crud all over. Posted by Janine at March 27, 2003 08:27 AM
