Starbucks, Anyone?





Well, guys, my poor old body is in bad shape today, after working really REALLY hard on all these things last week, having a show in The Woodlands, TX and not skipping a beat with my very busy personal life. But I wanted to post what I have been "cooking" in my kitchen and show it to all of you! I am loving all the colors and flavor and bold brightness in these summer products! And below, for some of my Facebook Mommy Friends, is a wonderful new soap that I created on a whim on Friday.......I called it "Starbucks in the Shower"! It smells deeply of fresh ground, fresh roasted coffeee with a double shot of cappucino and whipped cream with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top! I put freshly ground beans and alot of sea salt into some of the layers; so it is exfoliating and stimulating to polish you all into a glow! Plus, doesn't it look.......

"designer"? I love the colors! Get your fresh slice for $3.50 today while they last!

I Never Say No....except to my puppies!


A good morning to all! After awaking very early this morning....at a time unknown, I snuck downstairs for coffee all by myself. This is a treat that only those of you who are daydreamers could ever fathom, except Miss Yablonski, of course, who is herself an authoress and an avid reader. Unfortunately, I have been physically unable to get up that early since the time change...when was that? About 6 weeks ago? That cataclysmic event put my earthly temple into a tailspin from which it is just now emerging; something akin to jet lag for thos of you who frequently traverse the hemispheres.

So then, after a reasonable facsimile of a quiet time on the front porch that was accompanied by quiet kitties and puppies....Hallelujah!......I have emerged a radiant person. Wow...it had been awhile. Only after which, I had turned on the computer and downloaded email. A friend of mine, Sam had written to me.....I miss you writing on your blog!

OK, so since I never say no, except to my puppies who constantly relieve themselves on the interior horizontal surfaces of my 2256 sf home and where nothing is sacred, here I am, writing.

Like I said in the last post; I HAVE to be inspired! What was that...whether by expediency, or urgency, or things that trouble or inspire me.....

So none of that has occurred recently....but, it is good to keep a journal of one's journeyings in the wilderness wherever they find themselves chronicling.

My husband last night had a "heart to heart" with me. He had commented on my inability to focus on even a simple conversation. To which I admitted that yes, I am having difficulty in fact concentrating on anything at all, let alone on anything worthwhile. To which he noted, something must be deleted from my schedule, which, he also noted, would be a painful event for me, since I am passionately pursuing those things which I feel passionately about. To which, he noted, I am doing nothing excellently; to which he also noted that I have such ability to do so. To which, further volunteered, me, all the while, mouth gaping open in a combination of awe and disbelief, that he would finally allow me to delegate household tasks to him. To which, he also noted, would involve an adjustment period for himself and our only sibling, 11 1/2 years old who is able bodied and able minded but feeble in intention....in order to comply with the requests bestowed upon him by His Domicile Queen....and that would be me.

To which I am in awe at this point to which, heretofore, I thought, we would NEVER arrive.

That being all said, on the homestead, is what transpired last night.

Now, on the business side, I prayed for something good to happen today. Something that would confirm that all this craziness that I have been pre occupied with would happen today, to bear out that I am on track for the beginnings of a prosperous endeavor in my community and cyberspace and beyond.

Just little steps....nothing sexy....nothing exotic....just dogged determination and the pursuit everday of those things necessary to build; and keep building, and keep building.

My latest "creations". I was inspired to do these and so I did them. Then I used them myself and felt very refreshed, revived, and rejuventated! My skin felt clean and soft and oh so fresh!

My friend, whoever you are....be true to the passions that God has given uniquely to only you! STay the course, and everyday do the things that will bring life to you and beauty to those you encounter! May the grace of God keep you and watch over you today!

Captains Log, star date 01-27-09 in the year of our Lord

Guys, Gals, Fans, Friends!

Sorry for being so.....silent....these days!

When I find my photo cable I will show you guys what's been "popping" these days in my kitchen...and office....etc.

It's tax time and that is always stressful for me. Not only do we play catch up during this
time, but to add to that all the other facets of life, a new business, a new website, new involvements at church, old renters out of rent house, new renters into new house, and the associated drama of all that....and...new puppies!!!!!! Alas, the cable has disappeared.....

I have been waking up anywheres between 2 - 5 AM everyday......hence, going to bed
around 8.......

Other than that, making great headway on business plan, website, fragrance listing,,,but still so
much to do........so much, so much!!!

OK, i popped my head out long enough to update, so now back to work.

Hopefully in the next few days, there will be new pics of new puppies. Valentines goodies coming too! Just got some Love Spell, Pink, Very Sexy Men, Very Sexy Women, Endless Love, Dream Angels, Rapture, Angel, all VS dupes. So, friends....stay tuned!

All my love to all of you who have encouraged me, have visited this blog, commented, gave imput, said you would be product testers, tasters, and advised me. You are so special to me and I am contunually thankful to each and every one of you!

Sam, you are the best! And because of you, I have new hope and much needed courage and strength! Thank you!

2 hours later.....well, I found the cable and uploaded all kinds of stuff from my little camera.! Wow! 84 pics in the last few weeks! Upon reviewing the items, my heart filled with gratefulness of the chronicle that unfolded with the screenplay...... thus an addendum to this Captains Star Date log, and I will name it...

new life!!!!!!!!

first the eagles......... first sited on 01-04-09



Then, my darling friends who I love and treasure like the closest of family, saved, baptized, added to the Body of Christ and going full force for God!












then last saturday, the little "fatlings" were born.......boop boop boop! boop!boop! here is kitten this am holding them: taken just this morning......

So, my friend, it is my aim to always have an encouraging word for you! That you will find this blog to be not only funny, dry, colorful, crazy; but also informative, encouraging and full of enthusiasm for Life itself in all His facets of beauty, wonder, wisdom and awe.
In the midst of your struggles, faint not, my friend, for to him to sows, and endures and faints not, there will be a harvest for every seed you sow into the ground. This is the Year of the Favor of Our Lord! Be encouraged, and Faint Not! For to him who overcomes, that person will eat of the tree of life, and great grace and favor will be your outcome....even in drought and famine, says the Lord of Hosts!
Until we meet again!

Da Bomb....Yum!!!!!

A happy Monday to all my fans, friends, foes, fooies! After Friday's Product Launch Party at my house, I am very very very amped. I went to bed, tired, but oh
so peaceful, satisfied, and with a real sence of joy. Thank you to my wonderful friends, Larry, Chris, Corey, Sam, Kimberly (& Co!) Shelley, Debbie Sparks and
Sonja Kelley! A BIG thanks goes to Chanda, Meredith and Tanner Mardis. Without you I would have truly melted down in an inferno of despair and frenzy! Thank God for my family and friends! Another thanks to my husband, Joe,
who played the Host with the Most charm! Thanks, Honey!

I truly feel like this is now do-able! Vision and passion continues to grow in my heart!

Now, to get to work!

Yesterday I took a much needed nap on the couch. Praise God! It felt wonderful and I had to peel myself off the couch to fix dinner. Thanks to leftovers, that was simple!

Look what I made yesterday thanks to my mentor, unbeknownced to her, the Soap Queen. My kitchen smelled oh so yummy! Let me ask you... what little girl would not want one of these? My own darling little kitten, Casey, squealed in delight when I told her she was my "product tester"!

They are scented with Hello, Sweet Thang!
(a takeoff of Hello, Sugar BBW!) I didn't
like this fragrance when I first got it, but
let me tell you, it rocks in bath and body applications! Thanks,
Brambleberry!

To all you moms, sweethearts, grandmas,
these little gems sell for $3.50 each,
and they are bagged, tagged and all ready
to go! Tear the cupcake paper off the
bottom and drop the whole thing in your
tub! Soon you will be soaking in a scented, sweet, pink, moisturizing warm tub of sweetness!
Afterwards, dress your soft body in matching
6. oz Vitamin ADE lotion and lightly mist
with our luscious 4 oz. body Mist.
Buy the whole thing for under $22.00!

ok. got more to do today than is humanly possible.
