Soap

My favorite soap is discontinued. I thought of it this morning as I was smelling the new scent I am adjusting to, well it has been MONTHS. We now use Dove nectarine and white ginger. It's fine. I like the smell BUT it is not my favorites soap. The soap I took with me to the hospital when I had Ethan. The soap that makes things seem better in the shower. Dove Calming Night. It is a blue bar and comes in a dark blue box and it was perfect. I bought a few bars and then when I found out it was discontinued and I could not find anymore I saved the very last box. Once in awhile I go and smell it. :) I am not sure when I will finally break it out and actually use it but for now I can smell it.

PS I found it on amazon.com just now and paid $20.00 for 8 bars. It is that good. I figure I can put it in my stocking to make me feel better about the price.

pinch me!

They announced that LOST begins February 2!

There will be a one hour recap followed by a 2 hour season premiere.

Is the month over yet

I don't want to complain. really I don't. But this posting every day thing is wearing me out! I want a chance at free stuff but I am not sure it is worth this.

So I leave you with a picture I took on Thursday. I was sitting in my chair looked outside and saw a bird on our neighbors roof. A bird I would not ever expect to sit for hours on a roof. Usually you see them in swamps. I enjoyed watching it walk around the roof and finally settled on their chimney. It was there for quite awhile but did disappear before the kids came home from school. Pretty bird. Just for me.
My camera's zoom is broken and I couldn't very close to the bird so zooming in makes a pretty grainy picture. SORRY

New Moon

Last night I was up very late. Yep, I went to the midnight showing of New Moon here in town. It was sold out so I was glad I bought my ticket ages ago. I am also glad I was by myself because when I got there at 15 after 11 it was already PACKED. Not alot of places to sit and being solo allowed me to find a spot. I enjoyed watching the how they made Twilight as we waited and waited. New Moon was good. I am glad I went to a midnight showing even if I am 32 years old! But I am not sure I would go again. These people are die hard fans. So they cheer and cat call throughout the movie. They laugh at parts that I think are mildly funny. I found myself smiling at the way teenage girls act, and knowing I am way past that.

I thought this movie was better then Twilight but I had found Twilight the movie to be cheesy compared to the book. I thought this movie lost a little of the cheese. I enjoyed the movie and know all you Twilight series fans will too.

Free pictures

Yes, I used the code from freebies4mom yesterday. Have my free 50 cards being sent to me. I had just really wanted to use my kodak code as well. Not sure what I will do with 50 cards, but they were free.

UPDATE

So Alicia came home from school today in a great mood. She asked if she redid the pictures if she could be ungrounded from Webkinz. I said sure. So they went out and let me take some pictures. Sadly Ethan wasn't too in to it ths time but I made one work and ordered some cards! I really needed to do cards this year as I made the cutest stamps from a WDW picture we got in January. I am now excited to get these cards and send them off to everyone.

Lost temper

I tried to take pictures of my kids yesterday in their Christmas garb. They got all pretty, while grumbling, and I took them outside. But I did not get 1 picture. They were not in the mood to be accommodating. Alicia is now grounded from Webkinz for a week and I am in a bad mood. I really wanted to use my kodak code to get my free Christmas cards but Alicia hates her picture to be taken. I don't know what to do to get a few pictures out of her. I lost my temper. It isn't too soon after I loose it that I realize I loose a lot more then my temper when I let in to my ugly feelings. My daughter gets very hurt and looses a little bit of her respect of me.

This week in my Bible study we were reminded how we need to be in prayer over our day. If I had really been listening I would have been praying before those pictures. I knew they were going to be hard to get. I knew it wasn't going to be fun. So why didn't I take it to the Lord before? Hopefully I learned something from yesterday. I am sure I will be tested again. Hopefully next time I will react with grace.
