"For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86 10-12

I'm BLOGGING!

I know, can you believe it?  I have a blog.

I think it's safe to assume that EVERYONE is interested in my life......HAHA!

I guess we'll see how it goes.  So far, I've been very overwhelmed by all of my blogging options.  I mean, picking a background was stressful enough-- but then a layout... and then adding gadgets (WHAT?!) and then font... and then color of font ....and then trying to change the font but forgetting where you changed it in the first place... and loads of other things....I'm worn out just thinking about it.

Speaking of loads reminds me of laundry.  I made laundry detergent today.  It's pretty much brilliant.  It's fast, easy, healthy, AND cheaper than store bought detergent.  And if you know me, you know I am cheap.  And if you know me, you know I talk healthy.... no matter what I eat.  (I did not just eat a cookie....)

Back to laundry....

Here is what happens when you put soap in the microwave.


you make CLOUDS!.... well, at least that's what I told Caleb.

After a little microwaved soap, washing soda, and borax mixed up in my vitamix, I ended up with a nice, big applesauce container full of detergent.  

Isn't it positively beautiful!?

The only bad part about it was inhaling the detergent as the smoke came out of the vitamix.  I'm still coughing...and my nose is running.  I'm not sure if that's related or not.  Whatever.  It was TOTALLY worth it.
