Part of me thinks I should make this post private, and only viewable to certain friends, but in realizing somebody else has felt such similar hurt, maybe somebody reading my journal will be comforted knowing *they* aren't the only ones either ( Read more... )

While I was warned that this post didn't pertain to me in the way that I would have assumed. I still am a bad, bad friend.

I can't ask for another bar of soap, I feel too bad about what happened to the first ones. Maybe you can send some to my mom for safe keeping... ;-) I'm pretty lucky to have had such a good mom.

I think I just might do that. And yes. You really are lucky to have such a sweet mom. And as usual, thanks for the open offer to share her. =o) But, does she know about this??? She might not want to be shared...=o/

After reading this I really wish I used bar soap.

Thank you for sharing such a personal entry with everyone. It's flattering to know we've a friend lie you.

Well SEAN, if you won't let me send you some, I'll just have to bring some to you in Vegas. After-all...it would be quite rude to refuse to accept a gift in person! =oþ

P.S. I'm pretty happy to have you as a friend as well. =o)

Tell you what... even though I don't use bar soap I will gladly change my mind when I receive a pair of bars the same size and shape of your hands...

Sound like fun?

And I would love some regardless it's just that bar soap doesn't seem to get me clean as well as body washes and the like.

Well, first, I have to say that handmade soap from you I would use like a handwashing obsessive-compulsive, even if it smelled like socks ( ... )

OOOOOOH.... not only do her girls make her things, they make her tons and tons of things. She makes a fuss over every single one of them. And then when her fridge gets so full of the things they draw and create she suggests they start making things for her friends to fill up their fridges and countertops and so on. Send her your address, you'll soon see =o)

I sound like I'm complaining, but I really do adore the things her girls draw and make for me. I still have everything they made, even the beautiful shrinky dinks that got somewhat mutated in the baking process... =oD

Re: mandy_moon December 13 2002, 21:19:50 UTC

Oooh@! This makes me very very happy!

Socks... lisa_monique December 13 2002, 21:17:39 UTC

Not even close...it smells like Almond Joy. SO good you will want to eat it. I promise. But DON'T eat it. =o/ You might look silly with bubbles coming out of your nose and ears...

Yes!!! =o) =o) My girls draw, and create for me EVERY day! So much, that I can't keep it in a box. I'd need a refrigerator size box to hold it all. You can't even see my fridge for all the beautiful artwork that covers it. I will NEVER throw their art away. EVER.

They even draw, paint, and make shrinky-dinks and macaroni-art for Lance on a regular basis. Poor guy, I know he'd feel too guilty to throw it away, so he's going to have to find some sort of special storage system for it all as well.

You don't *have* to trade, because I really, truly, LOVE to give. But this Christmas, it would make me feel absolutely wonderful to receive an unexpected drawing from somebody as special as yourself. =*o)

After all Christmas is *that one day*. =o/

Don't be sad. I appreciate the art you gave your mom, even if I've never seen it. Thank you again for ( ... )

Lisa~

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this post.

The other day in your e-mail you said...But then there's that one post, or one comment, that tends to set it in motion, and you find your "groove" with that person. This post was that one for me, with you.

I already thought a lot of you as a person, but now I admire and respect you even more. I can relate to your situation w/ your mom, only mine was/is with my dad. Maybe sometime when I know you better I will explain.

You sound like a wonderful mother and that is the most important thing.

I have always wanted to learn how to make home-made soap, I was going to do it last X-mas for gifts, I even got some cool sun and moon molds for it, but I never followed through with it. One day I will.

I would be honored to have a bar of soap from you. I think it would be dreamy even. =o)

Love,
Laura

Re: Ping Pong.... lisa_monique December 14 2002, 17:01:02 UTC

Thank you for your kind words. =*o) They mean bunches. Tough times can either make us, or break us, and when it comes to myself, the things I've been through make me adimant to break the cycle, and be a better parent, rather than follow the examples I've been given.

Making soap is a tough process. I don't make it with the kits they sell at craft shops etc. I go through the whole process of rendering lard, figuring out the calculations of olive oil, or coconut oil, measuring lye, (you must be very careful, because should you get it on your hands, it burns like a mother-f***er!) Don't get me started on the whole sapification process! *lol* Have you seen "Fight Club"? I liked it only for the fact that the guy made soap! =o/ I'm weird...::shrug::

Anyway, I can't wait to send you and everybody else some! I'll be on it first thing monday morning! =o)

Thank you again for your kind words, they are much appreciated!

Re: *smile* lisa_monique December 14 2002, 16:16:13 UTC

That made me smile
TTTTTHHHHHIIIIISSSS big!
=*o) Thank you for your wonderfully kind words.

I don't think hard times or bad experiences are in vain if it either makes us more compassionate towards others, or we learn something from them. Due to the fact that my childhood was muddled with pain, and neglect, it's made me a much more attentive mother, and sometimes, I'm even able to gain back some of my lost childhood through allowing my girls to have so many of the wonderful experiences I missed out on.

I don't talk a whole lot about my girls online, because frankly, I'm paranoid of people and their intentions, unfortunately due to bad experiences. But as you get to know me, there will be bits and pieces that I let out. ;o) I also have a "family" section to my web-site that I've been remodeling, and as soon as it's finished, I'd be happy to share it with ya. Thank you again, for your kind words. They mean bunches to me, really.
