I confess. I have a serious pampering habit. [Come on, I know I’m not the only one…] An awesome, spa-like bathroom a la Candace Olson is top of my dream house must-haves. I have at least a half dozen bottles of bubble bath and an indeterminate number of lotions at all times. Also, myriad tubes of lip balm are always waiting to be discovered in purses, pockets and drawers. I think it’s an addiction.

[… Yet, I don’t really consider myself a girly-girl.]

So, I am not a morning person at all. Occasionally, I have a string of 5:30am-2:00pm shifts at work. They are not my favorite, the only blessing is that they seem to go fast. In my opinion, 5am is a better time to go to sleep than to get up. this means that I can be grumpy or silly (or both).

I was thinking of my current product line this morning (and just realized that my scrub top was on inside out) and wondering if it was self-limiting or if I would get tired of it. I love the fairy tale and fantasy theme, and chose it because it suits me, but… Then, I figured I could make it work. I could always remake stuff I really liked; it didn’t have to always be the same, and I could always go back to my favorite book of all time Grimm’s Fairy Tales and find new inspiration, like….. “The Golden Ass.”

That was incredibly funny, so I had to share with DH. He was not as amused, but I couldn’t let it go. A little while later, I said, “Maybe, I could just make it for you.” Then a while after that, “I think it should have a crack in it.”

To which, he replied, emphatically, “You are not making Gold Ass soap.”

“It’s 5am. You can’t convince me of anything.”
