I actually have some things to write, but then I feel like I have nothing to talk about tonight. Such is the state of my life.
I can't help it. Here it goes:
I ran out of laundry soap last night. Solution?
Dishwashing liquid. I ran out of that this morning. Solution?
Cascade gel tabs. I took a page out of Ethan's book.FYI - soap is soap. It got the guck out. Plus, it's totally fragrance-free. Hurray! I'm all about that. That's a story for a whole different post. Okay, I'll tell you: I want EVERYTHING fragrance-free. I hate competing scents. Your shampoo smell, soap smell, deodorant smell, hairspray smell, lotion smell, laundry detergent smell, fabric softener smell, cleaning products, febreze, candles. Then you add your own perfume. GEEZ! It is the smell equivalent of a cacophony! I would prefer to smell my perfume and whatever scent I've chosen for my house. Oh, I did use fabric softener today in the hopes that it makes my house smell clean tonight :)
I wish I could create a line of products with compatible scents. ALL my house products. ALL my hygiene products. They wouldn't have to be exactly the same. But, you know, compatible. Maybe the lotion has the bottom note of the shampoo and conditioner smell, and the deodorant has the top note. (That lingo comes from my days selling Mary Kay. I learned about perfume. The first thing you smell is the top note, then you have the middle, then the last smell you pick up is the bottom note. So, compatible scents totally possible.) Same for laundry and cleaning supplies - they gotta be compatible with each other. Of course, I'd still mix in my fragrance-free stuff. I don't want to be overpowered. And then my febreze or glade plug-ins or candles don't get all smushed into the other smells.

That's what you had so much to say about? Smells?
Noooo, I was going to write about my birthday activities, but I was interrupted by good mothering on my part. So, you have to sit in suspense.
I so hear you on the smell issue. I get headaches all the time from fragrances. Why don't we have the fragrance free options? My head hurts just thinking about it all!
BTW, I would love to be invited to Sarah's blog if you would pass that along. I realize I'm not family or a close friend (except in my mind) so if she doesn't want me I am totally cool with it!
I must go be a good mother now and get my crying baby up from her nap!
Love your blog!
how was your birthday??? i'm dying to know! and i'd buy your products or at least i'd smell them.
Ok.. I have to tell you..reading this was like talking to a very very manic person that I dealt with as a patient today at work. . . I could just see you saying the whole thing without taking a single breath! I'm joshing you girl. . you are so funny!
Also, I have to admit that I had no idea what the word cacophony meant ( college words). . .I even looked it up. . "harsh or discordant sound". So I learned something new today.. thank you jen. See? You do service when you don't even mean to. Now that's what I'm talking about! I'm sorry I didn't see your impromptu party invite until now. I would have loved to come.
Jen, I totally agree wuth you on the smells. I always try to go fragrance free. I love your soap story. Its true that soap is soap but just don't use your palmalive in your dishwasher. My Mom's friend put hand dishwashing liquid in her dishwasher and sud started pouring out of it all over the floor. She ended up breaking her dishwasher and flooding her kitchen with suds!!
