I love natural things!

Ok, so i'm so not into advertising things, and I HATE that this seems like one of those cheesey things that are spread around myspace, but I have to share something with all of you.

I have found THE most amazing soap ever!

Now let me say something, as far as I know, this isn't organic soap. I don't like organic things, and I think they are a big crock. Disagree with me if you like, but I'm not changing my mind. This soap, however, is ALL NATURAL. No preservatives!!!

I discovered it when I went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival recently.

It's called "Sapone di Giacomo All natural, all vegetable soap." You can get it here.

This stuff makes my skin feel like velvet, and it smells AMAZING. You can get it in several different scents, and they are $4.00 a bar.

These soaps are all handmade and ALL NATURAL. (AHH! I love that!)

The ingredient list on the wrapper reads:
"Made from saponified olive, palm, soybean, and coconut oils, distilled water, and fragrance oils."

When I was there I got 5 bars, and the one I'm currently using is Lavender Vanilla. YUM.

You can also keep them in your clothing drawers to keep your clothes smelling fantastic.

Since they are all natural, you need to keep them in cool places if they aren't being used, and when you do use them, it's a good idea to keep them on a soap drainer and keep it out of standing water. It's also a wise idea to use it within the first 6 months of purchase, considering there are no preservatives it won't stay fresh forever.

I have sensitive skin on my face, and i can even use it on my face! And it does a great job at removing all of my make up (however, it may not be that great for everyone's faces since they are all different.)

Ok. I had to share that with you. I love this stuff.

Remember, check out the Forest Enchantment Website. They even have more things than all natural soap. It's a great site!!

Let me know if you like it!!!

"Really Bad Eggs"

So I saw Pirates 3 tonight. I didn't care much for it. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the first two, but this one not so much. It was REALLY long and drawn out. I love a great plot, and this one kinda fell apart. I enjoy good action scenes, but these were way too long, and I actually found myself being bored with them. Would I see it again given the chance? No.

Also, I have something to vent a little about. If your children are still in diapers, they shouldn't be at a PG-13 movie that ends close to 11pm. Furthermore, if your children cannot read, they should not be in said place. Infants and small children have no business being out that late and going to a movie that is that violent, and "scary." If you feel this is acceptable, good for you. We will have to agree to disagree on this subject. This is just something that grates on my nerves. It's kinda like letting a 12 year old into a club and letting them drink a little. At least it is to me.

Alright, onto happier things!

Bonnie and i totally CRUSHED this guy's ego tonight. He's in this saturn with 2 girls, and we are in this huge Hemi. He wants to be all big and bad at the stop light, looking at us like we were a cheap peice of meat. Bonnie smoked him outta the light...while blasting the speakers. Said guy decided to weave in front of us every time we switched lanes...we faked them out by getting in the turn lane long enough that he turned...and we kept going straight. Ha ha. It was awesome.

That's pretty much is for an update from me. Still in search of a job, but it happens.

"I Say to Myself, 'Self, Why are You Awake Again? It's 1AM'"

UGH! I can't sleep. My head hurts, I can't breathe out of my nose, my stomach needs food but I have a non-existent appetite, and I'm exhausted.

And no thanks to the cat...who is apparently MIA and under the bed...the least she could do is cuddle with me...

A Body's Revenge

Ok, so I did yard work yesterday. Not too bad...but the whole day yesterday was kinda crappy. It all began when I woke up.

So I woke up with this horrid feeling in my nasal cavity, like I had a small watermelon stuck in there. So, like a normal person, I went to blow my nose. Good idea, right? NO. Instead of the normal things that come out of one's nose, I got a kleenex full of blood. Wonderful. Just what I wanted. So after about 5 minutes of trying to get the beeding controlled, I'm able to go about normaler things in my life.

So I took a shower, and then Dad decided it was yard work time. I figured it couldn't be too bad...despite the fact that I had already sneezed somewhere into the double digits by then. (note: mowing while your sinuses already hate you...NOT a smart idea.)

It was cold outside, which I was partially thankful for, so I was wearing longsleeves while I mowed, however i still got grass all over me. Hello shower #2 of the day.

Then we had to go to church. No big. It's cool and totally normal for a Wednesday night. So I get to church, and we are getting ready to eat, and some of the ladies were talking about how they, or others they knew have had this apparent stomach bug that is going around. Now for normal people, that information wouldn't freak anyone out, but for little Miss OCD me, it scared the living daylights outta me (Sad, I know, but my biggest fear is throwing up, and my kryptonite is an unhappy stomach, not to mention my OCD is germ induced).

Well, the rest of church went well, despite all the sneezing that continued. I finally get home, get to bed, and then we come to this morning.

Gee, this morning, that nasal cavity watermelon feeling was back...and so was the blood. Lovely...just beautiful. So today i feel about 3 times worse than yesterday, my nose is runny AND stuffy, and my head feels like I've got an angry rock band in it. I'm ready to feel better.

I don't enjoy being sick, but I'll get over it. I have a tendency to get whiney when I'm sick, if you haven't noticed. Blah.

If anything else interesting happens, I'll let you know.

By the way, sitill haven't heard from the animal shelter :(

Sometimes Life Enjoys Punching You in the Stomach

Sooo....I am no longer employed...yeah. Someone else applied who was older, single, and out of college, and she can work full time year round. So since I was the last one hired, I'm the first one let go...they are letting another girl go too. I had this job for a whopping week....ONE WEEK. Not ok. I've got bills and gas to pay for, and last time I checked, good looks won't buy you either.

I applied at Jersey Mike's (no I don't want to work in food, but hey, money is money.), and I stopped by one of the Veterinary offices, of which didn't need any help. Last move of desperation today...Called the Animal Shelter. I really love the Animal Shelter. That's where I got my incredible Kittie from. I figured it would be too good to be true that they would be hiring. I called anyways...they told me they WERE hiring! It's a cleaning position, but hey, it can't be near as bad as cleaning up cow poo. Seriously. So I rushed over there, filled out my application, and apparently I'm the only one that has applied thus far!!! It's looking pretty good that I'm going to get the job!

Today hasn't been the greatest, but i know, God still loves me, and He knows what's going on.

OH! Dad decided not to do yard work today :)

Rain? Yes please

No work for me at the coffee shop today. I need to run some errands though. After I get back, Dad wants me to help him with the yard. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dad, but I HATE doing yard work. I'm not really sure why, but I despise it. So I'm hoping for some rain to get me out of it. The yard can wait another day, it won't hurt anything.

In other random news, I'm having a "pretty day" today. I love days like this. You know, after you get up and take a shower and get all dressed and stuff and you just feel like you are the most beautiful person on the planet? I love it!

Well, I should probably head out to town to pay bills and all of that fun stuff.

Maybe someone will comment on here ;) lol

"It's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball..."

So I started my first official day of work, and it went pretty darn well! I'm really gonna like it there, however, the second day didn't go quite as well. My main problem is that I'm scared to death of messing up. I gotta get it through my thick head that I'm not going to master the art of coffeeesque making in one day. I'm determined to make tomorrow a FABULOUS day!

Kat's Wedding, on the other hand, went incredibly! We had so much fun. There was one bad thing that happened though. Michael was following me from Murfreesboro to Lebanon so I could drop my car off instead of having to mess with us having 2 cars going to and from the wedding was NO damage to either of our cars. With as hard as he hit me, there should have been something broken. The only thing that was actually hurt was my neck. I had a slight case of whiplash the next day, but all is well.

So I've been thinking a lot about my blog lately, and I used to have the mind set that it was mine and I wanted it to be kinda private. But after reading some other peoples blogs, i realize it's really ok for other people to read them and share their opinions and thoughts. I really enjoy it.
