Nothing else matters ...

I just made a ridiculous amount of laundry detergent. Like, six bags plus a double batch for home use. I would have made more but I ran out of one of my ingredients. I guess I'm going on an ingredients run tomorrow.

I totally forgot to mention yesterday (in my second journal!) that I saw Zombieland and it cracked me up HARD! Like, whoa. That movie was just flat out funny. I'm almost tempted to watch it again right now. It was just that good.

The thought hit me earlier that the kids go back to school in 2 days. It will be really nice to have a solid block of time during the day without them around. I'm going to get back on my writing schedule. Even if it kills me.

Cole wants me to do this science experiment kit with him that he got for Christmas. I guess that's what we're going to do.
Later!

I feel like I'm back on track with my book reading. Add that to the fact that I have almost completely finished designing my laundry detergent label and I feel pretty productive today.

Book #27 - Uglies (Uglies Book 1) by Scott Westerfeld - I've had the first two books in this series sitting here since Christmas and I kept putting off reading them, even though I'd heard how good they are. It's all part of my inscrutable brain. It's better not to look to closely. Anyway. I thought this book was great. I honestly couldn't figure out how they were going to move from this book to the next until the end. Awesome.

I feel much better than yesterday. More centered and not at all crazy for no good reason. This is a good thing.

I have a bunch of little things that need to be done tomorrow. Things that I keep putting off. Like, calling my HR department about my 401K. I guess it's about time.

I have the urge to watch Twilight.
Later!

Here are the two logos that are currently in contention as THE LOGO. Most everyone seems to like the same one, except my mom, who likes the other one. Therefore, I'm asking you guys to take a look at them.

**In case you couldn't tell, click on the button below the logo you like. :)

I'll be back later. I have to work off this cinnamon roll. I think that if I ever decide to make these again I'm going to use a heck of a lot less butter.

Out.

I'm watching Deepstar Six as a cap to my Monsters of the Deep marathon and it's really not holding up to the other sea monster movies. In fact, it's kinda bad. Which means that I'll review something *gasp* I might not like. Crazy!

I did some research on my forthcoming work from home venture earlier. I'm getting really jazzed to get this up and running. I just have to wait for my bags. Grr. Sometimes I'm not patient.

I'm going to watch this not great movie now.
Wish me luck.

Murky and overcast this morning. Rumor has it that it might rain soon. I love the rain. Especially when I'm home, hunkered down with a hot cup of something and hours to wile away.

Did I mention that my Twilight DVD shipped yesterday. I might (might) get it today. It's okay, you don't have to be jealous that Amazon loves me. If you love it, it turns out that it'll love you back.

I've been updating some of my Squidoo pages.

I've also bought the bags I'm going to use for my detergent. I did decide to go with Three Sisters. It makes more sense if I'm going to use it for things that aren't all "green". For example, I'm thinking of offering spell-casting kits. Three Sisters works slightly better with that. The only downside is that I actually have four sisters. As in, there are five of us all together. That just didn't have the same ring to it. Five Sisters. No. Three is a much more magical number.

Three Sisters it is.

Thank you to everyone who voted. My next request is going to be for someone with graphics abilities to help me translate the logo design in my head into something that doesn't look like a 3 year old drew it. I could even pay a small fee. Or I could pay in homemade detergent. Because I'm going to use the barter system for everything from now on. Do you think Target will take chickens in lieu of money? I don't have any chickens, but if I did I would totally barter them. Or maybe just their eggs.

Oh! I think that this is one of the coolest eco-friendly things I've seen lately. I want it because it's pretty and neat to look at and good for the environment, but what the hell would I actually do with it?

Wow. I wrote a lot. And it's still early. That leaves a very wide door for me to return.
Later!
