You're addicted to CP when...

[Obsidian]

When you are disappointed the banana cream pie won't reach proper trace for texturing the top.

 

[boyago]

When you can recognize (and ignore) the light slowly going out of the eyes of your friends and loved ones while explaining your new soap adventure and why how your using certain ingredients and processes.

 

[Bubli]

...you have to force yourself to stop fondling and gazing like a love struck dummy at your most recent precious master piece yet, which sadly enough, as highly as you prize this odd possession, it should do more than clean filthy bodies and leave nasty rings in your tub...."do more"like maybe rule the world or something (cuz you know it's just that damn good!even though everyone else is like, "it's SOAP!")
....or when you find yourself wishing people wouldn't think you are strange to carry around a bar of soap all the while you are poking, studying, sniffing, licking it...because yeah, I'd do that, I totally would IF I knew that my community wouldn't eventually make me out to be some nut job "that crazy old lady down the street who talks to her soap,names it kitty and dresses it up in doll clothes."

Or when you buy every one else's soap just make sure you still like your own better.

Or you like your soap so much you'll cut off any hand that touches it.

Your making custard for you trifle and waiting for a good trace

 

[AnnaO]

Your backpacking-in-Thailand-over-the-festive-season daughter texts you to let you know her plane has landed safely on Koh Samui island.
And after feeling relieved that she is safe and sound, you then immediately start thinking of liquid soap...!

When you get a $50 gift certificate for Christmas for a certain Washington State supplier I will not name and despite your trepidation/horror about working with them again, you SQUEE inside because ... fifty bucks of stuff!
Honestly, I don't care how long it takes or whether they forget my free sample (again). I have everything I need and whatever I can buy on top is just lagniappe.

Yeah, Free can buy a lot of good will and patience.

When you buy NaOH by the case and the hardware store clerk gives you the skeptical, raised eyebrow look. Does he think my drains are SUPER clogged, or that I'm secretly making illegal drugs!?

 

[Mezza]

When you're pouring yourself a fresh juice, and have that overwhelming urge to grab a skewer and run it through the foam in a figure 8....

 

[jules92207]

Your viewing Pinterest and a friend posts a recipe for a buffalo chicken panini recipe and all you can see is an orange and white textured top CP soap cut with a wavy cutter.

You keep certain soap bars for sentimental reasons. (Me: have one bar of Bastile from my second batch ever that is like my soap grandaddy.)

 

[jules92207]

^^Yup. I try to keep at least one bar from every batch ever made. I had to let a few go...like losing a child (sheds tear...)

Wait. Why would you do that? Soap cures twice as fast when you fondle/idolize it at least 3 times a day. When you ignore it; it gets dos. It's a fact.

Hahaha. DOS root cause finally found! Soap neglect.

Also I believe in soap gods that grant boons and curses. It is the only explanation for some batches.

 

[jules92207]

Ha ha ha! More excuses to fondle my soaps... I mean... Uh...

 

[Dahila]

Dreaming whole night about LS, then waking up and going back to sleep and still dreaming about making LS:shock:

 

[grumpy_owl]

When you're watching a soap tutorial on the laptop and notice a black speck on the screen, but hesitate to wipe it away because for a mad moment you think you're touching raw soap.

For MPers: When you run around the house muttering, "Where is my alcohol? I know I had half a bottle. I need that alcohol now!" Good thing my mom wasn't here to hear that.

 

[jules92207]

You ask your hubby how much soap was left over... He made soup tonight.

 

[navigator9]

When you watch YouTube videos of soapmaking in languages you don't understand, because......we all speak SOAP! :-D

 

[jules92207]

I am going to add Soap as a language to my resume now.
