2eclipseHAPPY BIRTHDAY internofdoom!!!!!!
i feel like i don't even have time to breathe lately, although i know it's not true - i've read two books in the last 4 days. i guess i am still adjusting to this schedule. i've been invited camping by rachel and jerad this weekend and am debating about whether or not i should go...on one hand it would be a blast and great to spend time with them. on the other, there are a lot of things i need to get done that don't seem to happen during the work week.
i was productive yesterday. i did dishes, took out the trash, cleaned the cat box, took all the recycling and trash out to the curb, watered the lawn and biked 13 miles. not bad. and i went to bed early, which was maybe the best decision i could have made. i actually got 8 hours last night, which has been a novel thing for me the last few weeks.
i woke up today thinking it was thursday and with "my world" by guns n'roses and "S.E.X.X.Y." by TMBG stuck in my head. am i the only person who gets more than one song stuck in their head at a time?

work is also busy. yesterday, i was politely informed by a nice co-worker that one never catches up with this job. things just pile up til your two years are done and then they pile up more while 3M frantically tries to hire someone new. and the managers understand because they know how much work there is. troy (my supervisor) has also made it clear that they fully support workers taking breaks (very cool) because they know how overwhelming it can get. i spend most of my day fighting fires and a little bit of it doing the other things i'm supposed to do.:)
the soap is turning out pretty well, although some of it is nicer than the others. the stuff i put mint leaves in is losing a lot of water even though i didn't add much water when i rebatched. the burgundy soap with the gold mica is not as pretty as i would have liked. i think i need to get some new dyes because i am increasingly dissatisfied with the ones i have. the color is just not very nice and brambleberry has many lovely alternatives to sell me. i think i would do a lot more if i could make orange soap. there are just so many smells that seem like they should be orange.
i am getting a serious urge to knit something new as well. i have been doing socks forever and i'm bored with them. luckily the ones i'm working on should be done soon (and i will have deposited two paychecks and not feel bad about buying a little yarn). also i keep listening to lime and violet talking about various sorts of yarn porn and it makes me covetous. i am going to start working on some gifts, i think.
