Leia: “I thought you knew this person.” Chewbacca: [Chewie barks something to Han] Han Solo: “Well, that was a long time ago. I’m sure he’s forgotten about that.”

Doh! I forgot to tell you all that Amy, over at The Foil Hat, is making soap again. Luscious, decadent, lovely homemade soap. As I was typing up the last post, I kept telling myself, “remember to tell everyone about amyjosoap“ (because that’s what I thought about the minute I saw this at the Living History Farms), but alas I popped that picture of the laundry shelf in and just kept on typing.
So how about you all pop over to her new soap making site, order a few bars, and keep small, passion-based, businesses alive and well in the world. I’m saving my pennies, nickels and dimes to gather a few bars in my own galvanized bowl. And the sudsy baths they’ll make… oh, those are going to be divine!
Note: I was not contacted by Amy to tell you about her soap, I just think it looks fantastic.

Just found this in my drafts area. I guess I forgot to hit the publish button. It’s from this past May.
I’m watching, well really just staying around with, the boys of my friends, Mr and Mrs Sunday Morning Donut Buddy. Mr is off visiting my dear Dad Windu for the weekend while Mrs is working. After running to and from Jango Fett’s soccer game, I popped the television on just to see and what should be playing but the movie International Pie.
I’ve never seen this movie, which is rather shocking, as it was my most favorite book growing up. Parts of it brought tears to my eyes, just because I knew what was coming. Like when she goes to buy the foal and the drunk college boys and the selection trials. For I wanted nothing more than to compete in three day events until the day I died. My beautiful bay standard-bred, Charlie Brown, and I were inseparable from the age of 12 until I left for college. It was then that the reality that I was poor (I really didn’t know until I was 15, since everyone else I knew was broke, too), that riding was beyond expensive, and that I had to choose between college and riding.
Qui-Gon: “You don’t think Anakin will win?” Watto: “Don’t get me wrong. I have great faith in the boy. He’s a credit to your race, but Sebulba there is going to win, I think.” Qui-Gon: “Why?” Watto: “He always wins. (laughs) I’m betting heavily on Sebulba.” Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
Ga oranje!

I weet dat het slecht nu kijkt, maar ik weet ook dat zij het doen kunnen. Wij houden van oranje voetbal.

By Friday morning at the latest.
New flooring was laid-down in the upstairs bathroom this morning. Downstairs carpet was cleaned and re-stretched this afternoon. Furniture can be returned to the basement tomorrow after 3pm. Touch up painting is ongoing. New mattress for PL is arriving Wednesday afternoon.
The house is being listed on Wednesday. All our extra crap is getting hauled away on Thursday. A thorough dusting, floor and window washing, and all around deep cleaning is going down Thursday night. Why? Because the house must be available for showings come Friday morning.
Three and a half days from right now. No pressure. Anyone want to join my cleaning army? Anyone? Anyone?
Han Solo: Hey, Your Worship, I’m only trying to help. Princess Leia: Would you please stop calling me that? Han Solo: Sure, Leia. Princess Leia: You make it so difficult sometimes. Han Solo: I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I’m all right. Princess Leia: Occasionally, maybe… when you aren’t acting like a scoundrel. Han Solo: Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that.

My scoundrel is in his 4th hour of interviews, as I type. I – obviously – have the better end of the deal here.
Vanilla latte. Check.
Squishy chair. Check.
Chocolate croissant. Check.
Scrolling around the internet. Check.
Free lunch with Dad Windu and corporate representative. Check.
Not having to answer hard, uncomfortable, or annoying questions that will dictate my future bread-buying power. Double check.
Yesterday after the plane landed, we covered all the basics – rental car, hotel, and office building reconnoiter. After stalking finding the company’s location, we checked into a nearby apartment building – extremely cool and 3 times as expensive as my current mortage payment – and then got a very late lunch. May I just take a moment and tell you how much I love, love, love a plate of Pesto Chicken Pasta done well? Holy distended stomach, Bat Man, that stuff was divine!
Oops, running out of battery. Time to go retrieve the charging cord.
