Hey Cek *waving* how are you doing???? .....how are things in DWTS land???? any rumors yet on celebs for the new season????? I am still hoping for Paris Jackson one day...LOL
Hey April...I am doing good today...weather is nice outside and I am glad cause I don't do cold weather much anymore...LOL
I got your email but hadn't had a chance to answer it yet...I wasn't on the board all day yesterday, was at my son's weightlifting competition .
Things in DWTS Land is slow right now actually...just pics of the tour and no Season 24 gossip yet...They will tell the stars and pros on GMA on March 1....However the rumor is that Amber and Val have broken up so I guess that is news....Kym has a new dance/exercise studio that is opening soon and Peta has a blog called Fam and Glam...that is about it...
We are playing a little game to pass the time till the new season...somebody post two words and then the next person has to use one of them to make another two word pair....
I am so glad you are doing better and Niecey is doing better too...You know we are right there with you every day...
thanks so much for the recap
hopefully it will be an early spring for you
I can't wait for the new season to start
We have been really lucky this winter and the temps are mostly for the rest of the month going from mid 40 to 60's
So not sure what that will me for our summer this year...
By the way my MIL is loving it at the Villages...she is alway talking about how nice the weather is and that her sinus and eyes are not bothering her like it was here with allergies...

April, so glad to talk with you if just for a few minutes...Give Niecey a Auntie hug and sending one to you too...

This kind of grosses me out because as much as I love homemade soap (used to make it myself before it became so available - made by better than I) and love the idea of wool, felted as a cover to the soap, creating a lanolin rich "wash cloth" - wouldn't the wool get soiled like any washcloth would, etc. and wouldn't the wet shroud keep the soap wetter and soft between uses....
I'm thinking as I'm typing, ladies...bear with me....
I think I will make a felted wool pouch or pocket for a bar of soap to fit it. But then removed after use.
View....I know only a little bit about the properties of wool but what little I know may be useful in your little experiment. If we think about sheep and the fact that their wool is essentially a heat insulator but also has cooling properties for the sheep in the summer, I am inclined to think (logically or not!) that if the wool is left ot air dry, there should be little or no mold...i.e. it shouldn't "grow" anything. The beauty of wool batting in quilts is its breathing quality; it doesn't trap the heat like polyester. You can actually use quilts with wool batting in summer and winter...particularly in climates where the evenings are cool.
I would be interested in the results of your little "study"! The trick will be to find 100% wool, however. Most felted wool contains much less than 100% wool....so maybe you have some knitted socks that are ready for the bin that you could use to test against felted wool from another source? Just thinkin'.....

I have to say she looks so much better with her hair down than in the classic Peta slick back top bun!!!
For sure!! I never liked the Marilyn Monroe look but there must be a place somewhere in the middle, doesn't there?!! I just feel like women who don't spend a minimum amount of time on their hair are just lazy about it. I spend a minimum amount of time, but I'm blessed with curly so it's what it is pretty much either way! That being said, I'm also not a Hollywood person!!! LOL

View...sounds like a good idea but I too would take the soap out after use...I would think the felted wool would be good for the skin not only for the lanolin but for the possibility of exfoliating your skin too...
As I said earlier, there is felted wool and there is wool....I just threw away some "wool" i felted that came out HORRIBLE!! Obviously a JoAnn product that was the pits. It would have done fairly well as a scrubber probably, but certainly would NOT look nice as anything else!!! It was probably 35% wool, but at JoAnn's you can sometimes get away with it....for the price.

Good Sunday Morning to all my Sisters in the Sisterhood....
Nice weather here again today...a bit overcast but warm temps....YAY
Well it was late when I got home from the Weight Lifting Competition yesterday evening and I was absolutely beat and hungry.
My son finished first in his weight class and Kaleb was so excited for his daddy....he had two personal bests. He lifted 562 pound in squats, he bench pressed 370 and he dead lifted 561 pounds...the squat and deadlift weight were personal best...I am proud of all is had work, he is at the gym every day by 5:30 comes home showers and then goes to work to teach all day long...There was one lifter there that dead lifted 700 pounds...that is a lot of weight...
So how is everyone today...hope you are all having a good weekend and your weather is not to terribly bad...
Well since I didn't check any news yesterday hopefully there will be a little to post today....
OMG!!! That is AMAZING!!! Congrats to him!
