Spa Day in Your Own Home

I found an amazing recipe for your own brown sugar scrub. Everything I needed was in my pantry and it costs only pennies to make in contrast to 20 dollars at a specialty shop and it's all natural. Here we go:

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 cup crushed almonds



You can also add oatmeal if you like. I didn't have any oatmeal that wasn't pre-packaged, so I declined to use it. It works great. It was especially a nice exfoliant for my lips.

Convention Time

I can't believe our convention passed so quickly. I really think this was the best one yet. I know everyone probably says that. But I seriously don't think there was a single time in the program that didn't catch my attention. I can't wait to read all the new publications and see the DVD.

I really thought about what what I wanted to get out of this convention. The part on the traps of Satan was great. I could stand to read the notes on the trap of the fire. Differences between our brothers and sisters can snare us at any time. That is is a hard one to avoid. Someone is always getting on my nerves.:)

I had to help out at the front desk at work on Thursday and yesterday. I have a new found respect for receptionist. I would rather be peed on by a dog than deal with an irate person on the phone. Or a crazy drunk person trying to make an appointment. Or an even crazier person trying to get me to make 100 copies of her cat's records for herself. Do you know how fast I was to telling her to go to Kinko's. Oh well. I can't complain. There are so many people who don't have jobs in this economy.

The convention helped me to have the right prospective in this time of the end. Things are getting worse for a reason. Now is not the time to be distracted. Get on the ball and be ready. Such good reminders.

We Love Balls!!!!!!

Someone apparently spilled thousands of those Chucky Cheese-style balls on the Spanish steps in Rome and called it art. Hey, it's one more reason for me to go to Europe. This weekend will be bittersweet. Viola's funeral is today. There is also a friend who is getting married today and a friend having a baby, but they aren't priviledged enough to be mentioned. hehehe Blinds are up finally. Get to take the ghetto curtains made of sheets down. All that is left is the painting and the yard.
