Merry Christmas

Hope everyone's holidays are great and filled with love and lots of food

Why

Why do dogs paw's smell like fritos?

No more dead?!?!

So Walking Dead was lacking this season due to a sluggish story line (really...all season to find a girl). The love triangle with a new child on the way doesn't help. The great thing about the first season was that they stuck to many of the Zombie movie cliche's and it was moving fairly fast. I wish they developed the individual characters a little bit more, maybe even flashing to their pre-zombie lives would suffice. I was about to give up on the show until this happened.....
Whoa...that's not where I parked my car. Ok AMC you got me, I'll be back for more.

How to make soap that is cheap and works great.

First gather up your ingredients

1/3 Bar of Fels Naptha laundry Bar Soap (grated)
1/2 Cup of 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster
1/2 Cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 5 Gallon Bucket with lid

Next

Mix Grated Fels Naptha Soap with 6 cups of water in sauce pan, heat until soap melts.

The finer grating melts better.

It's important to get as much of this melted as you can in order for it to gel up appropriately.

Next step is Add washing Soda and Borax to Sauce Pan Mix. Mix Well until Washing Soda and Borax Dissolve.

Pour 4 cups of Hot Water into Bucket and add mixture from sauce pan.

Add another 1 gallon 6 cups of water and stir well.
Allow 24 hours for soap to gel.
Use 1/2 a cup of soap per load, recipe produces approximately 50 loads.

Kepp the soap and ingredients out of reach of children and keep bucket sealed when soap is not in use. A Double recipe may be produced with the 5 gallon bucket.

When it's ready I put some in an old Detergent bottle. I made this batch about 3 weeks ago and I'm still using whats in the bucket, I haven't touched whats in the bottle.

I have sensitive skin but this has never caused me to break out and as an added bonus you can use the borax and washing soda for other household cleaning uses.

Forever

Well it has been a long and I mean LONG time since I have blogged. It's not that I show this to anyone either but I just thought of this place and thought I would revisit.

I think this will be a great place to show pictures from my everyday life.

I've been addicted to Hipstamatic for the iPhone and it has helped me create awesome photos like this one.

The hubby and I hit the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I enjoy the Renaissance art and my favorite french Impressionism. For a laugh we hit contemporary art and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there are really amazing pieces whose purpose is to get you to think and discuss. For instance this is a crazy sculpture of paper pom poms that ended up looking like Bucky Balls from a physics experiment gone bad. Had a great time and hopefully I'll be able to share more like these.
