Soap Box

Well, a different KIND of a soap box....I've been reading up on homemade soap making and it is fascinating.
If my friends could see me now...
My highschool superlative probably would have read "Most likely to live in a penthouse in upper East Manhatten absurdedly thin, witty and RICH.
But this is me! Homeschooling Mom and lover of Christ, 40 llbs overweight sewing napkins and learning to make soap!
I think this life is better.
But I digress...
Soap making may prove more time consuming than previously thunk.
Maybe I could just keep getting M to give me some of hers???? But of course if I know me and I DO, that just won't do at all. I HAVE to make it myself.
Along with all the other things I want to learn to do and make.
I would like to learn how to make a really good wine.
How to cut my kid's hair. Well.
How to keep perfect books. Though I realize this is a discipline more than a learned trait.
How to successfully meal plan and keep a low grocery budget.
Learn how to sew with skill.
Cook a mean duck.
Get the pictures from my digital camera to my computer (done) and then to an actual hard copy. (Where is that polaroid???)
Be more skilled at using the computer.
Fully utilize all of the technology in my home. (Computer, camera, video cam, Etc.)

For now though, I'll keep plugging away and hope that some of this learning soap rubs off on my dirty kids... :0)
