You know you're a crazy soap person when...

[snappyllama]

When you blow your monthly hobby budget three times over in the month getting a ton of FOs, a new mold, and some more micas only to realize you totally forgot to buy the most important thing... lye. Oh well, it gave me a excuse to make *one* more order. Here's hoping the lyeguy ships quickly/discreetly... Thank goodness my husband doesn't pay attention to the paypal account. :shh:

Also, I can sneak in the actual oils I use from a local place... no telltale delivery box!

Oh snappy, I'm only grateful the boxes come in sparingly. That's the only good thing about some of the vendors taking their sweet time shipping things out. Hubby has no idea how often I really am ordering and let's me pick my moment to throw in, "oh by the way I ordered some more of that fragrance you like..."

... when your husband realizes you haven't had much "me" time lately and lovingly suggests "Go make some soap" to make your life a bit brighter.

For the record ... I took him at his word and made 3 batches!

 

[jules92207]

DeeAnna, our hubby's must be on the same wave length. So relate.

This is funny to me because I've been doing some extra handyman work this summer and that $$ has pretty much gone to soaping supplies. Well, what the kids don't wheedle out of me.

Reminds me of when I was a teen cutting lawns and whatnot in order to save up for that first car

While doing handyman work on a house going on the market, you are required to clean out the house prior to actually fixing what needs fixing and you run across an old wood cabinet with drawers like this and you think to yourself "SCORE! MOLDS!" (btw, there were 3 of the large drawers and 4 of the small ones)

I had this exact thought today looking at the boxes in the box bin at work and thinking to myself "hmm, would any of those be good for soap?" I think I'm starting to go a little kookoo

..... When you've been a workaholic your entire adult life, but now you think about ditching work in the middle of the day in order to go make soap. You want to make it RIGHT NOW. You just know you will feel better if you could just make another batch. You try to figure out a way to fit it into the day without neglecting something major. But then your day is so hectic that you end up collapsing in your bed at night exhausted and completely broken down. And out of all the unfortunate events of the day, not getting to make soap ends up being the biggest regret.

You walk into Kroger to pick up steaks, and the kind woman in the meat department asks you immediately, "you need some fat?", and then runs to the butcher to get ya some!

I actually took some small samples to a client's office the other day and one of the girls actually ATE one - even though I had clearly offered them to her as soap! :shock::shock::shock: She said it was horrible. Well, duh, it was SOAP!

You can't change stupid...

 

[commoncenz]

Got an email today from a crazy cousin (we all have them) talking about UFO's. I immediately thought "what fragrance oil supplier is abbreviated UFO?". I guess maybe I'm the "crazy cousin" now. :shock:

When you tell your 6-year-old son that you're going to make soap and he asks "cold process or hot process?"

That is really, really sweet. What a good listener

He really absorbs more than I think sometimes

They are little sponges, it is a bit scary. My sister's kids did a questionnaire recently about their mom, it was pretty funny and revealing how different their answers were. Kid no. 2, despite the scariness of the answers , is the funniest, cutest, smartest little monster on earth. This is a teeny sampling, but it was amazing how different they are ...

Eg: What is your mom's favorite food? Answer kid no. 1: Oysters on the half shell at "x" restaurant. Answer kid no. 2: I don't know.

What do you like best about your mom? Kid no. 1: when we read and listen to music together. Kid no. 2: when she listens to what I tell her to do.

They are just so great and funny ....

When a friend is describing some of the fun cakes he likes to bake, like ombre, hidden rainbow, camo, pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cherry, and all you can think is "I did that/want to do that in soap."

The answers on this thread have me cracking up LOL

When you are sitting in a meeting at work, feeling a little stressed. You open your phone to take a look at the picture that you took last night of your soap. The sight of your soaps makes you smile and you feel better.
