Mundane Monday
D. found the cigarette case. It was under the pool deck. Our guess is either the ghost or one of the dogs got ahold of it. Probably the dogs, even though they were on the other side of the electric fence the whole time.
I had to work yesterday, we had plans to go to our group's birthday night but by the time I got home I was exhausted. I had to make another batch of soap for my wholesale order (I'm on batch 3 of 8 now). Then we watched "The Magic of Ordinary Days" which was just sappy enough for me. Although I got pissed off at the portrayal of the internment camps because they made it look like those girls could leave the camp whenever they wished.
I woke up this morning, still feeling tired. Checked out my throat in the mirror and saw a white speck on my tonsil. Not good! I tried my ex's old trick of using a q-tip to get it off (not for the weak stomached), it didn't work. I'm gonna gargle and drink hot tea and pray I don't get sick. D.'s big company party is Saturday and I do not want to miss it!
I have way to much work to do today, so I probably won't get to read all my favorite blogs, so if anything is happening I need to know about, leave me a comment.

Messing with my throat with a q-tip like that--now way! I couldn't do it.
That would be barf city for me!!! But I totally understand not wanting to get sick!!! I HATE being sick. That and there is NO way I can afford to be sick....ever again...arrrrggggg.
so what kind of soap do you make??? I'm allergic to almost all bar soap...just curious.
EJ, you open a pandora's box when you ask me about soap.
Most store bought soap is not really soap at all, it's detergents, very harsh on sensitive skins. By FDA rules, they can't even call it "soap" so you'll see names like "deoderant bar". I make lye soap. Lye + oils + water = soap + glycerine which is a byproduct of the chemical reaction and is very good for your skin. All true soap starts out this way, even "glycerine" soap.
Commerical soap manufacturers bleed out the gylcerine chemically. It's got a high value for resale in cosmetics and food industries. "Gylcerine" soap is actually regular soap that has been chemically processed to create a clear bar.
In addition to leaving in the glycerine, home soap makers use a process called "super fatting" to ensure that after the chemical reaction takes place between the lye, water & fats, there are free fatty acids in the soap which causes the soap to be less drying and irritating than most commerically produced soap.
If you'd like to try a bar,I'll send you one for free, just email me at ladygodiva @ ladygodivabath.com (leave out the spaces). My web addy is www.ladygodivabath.com
