I got my 8/15 BPAL order today. I had ordered 2 bottles: Dirty and Snake Oil, and 1 imp: Dorian.

I received *3* bottles - Dirty, Snake Oil, and DORIAN, which *totally* lives up to it's reputation! Wonderful scent, just WONDERFUL.

I also got 6 frimps: The Caterpillar, Bayou, Blockbuster, Juliet, Ahathoor, and Saint-Germain.

I am in pure sensory bliss right now.

And, I'm wondering what my 8/31 order will consist of....*g*

My BPAL order arrived! The one I placed on 4/26!!! Whee! My wrists smell good now. *g*

Since this was my very first order (but not my first BPAL; eBay is a good place to try new scents!), all I got was a pack of imps ears. Brisingamen (on the right wrist), Dana o'Shee (left wrist), Dublin, Glasgow, La Belle Au Bois Dormant, and Perversion, with Succubus thrown in as a frimp. (Free Imp).

So far, I like them. Brisingamin is currently a little wonky...it may settle down, but right now it has a "hairspray" thing going on. Not major, but just enough to bug me. Dana o'Shee is lovely..sort of etheral flowers. With a deeper underscent that I can't place. I think it's a keeper, but I'll test it again in a couple of weeks to see how my hormones change it up before committing to a bottle of it. (OH - the hairspray is morphing...musk is starting to come out. Hmmmm...)

I've also been obsessing over this. I'm following the pattern, for the most part, but I substituted yarn (1 strand of Lion Cotton instead of the 2 strands of Cantata Cotton - 2 strands made it look too homemade. Ugh), changed needle sizes (6 instead of the 9s the pattern calls for, or even the 7s the yarn label called for - 7s made for a very....revealing fabric, even knitting as tight as possible. Moreso than the 6s, anyway)...and I might change up the bottom part. Maybe not.....I might knit this to the pattern then do another one *my* way. *g* (mmmmm, my left wrist is all watery florals right now. I normally *hate* florals, but this is....fae.)

Just popped some NSAIDs, so it's back to the knitting for me.

seems I may just have a date next weekend. hum...wonder how *that* happened? And wonder what I'm going to cook?? (C'mon, Nobody comes to my house and leaves hungry. That'd be...like...awful! *g*)

I didn't know that I can fit 2 oz of finely-spun Falkland Island wool on the bobbin of my Norwegian. Wow. It's the screaming yellow EE dyed one on my dyes page. It's....bright. Very bright. (Oh, and I posted a pic of the scarf and the winter socks....on the handwoven and sock pages, respectively. Since I'm too lazy to type the correct URL out, go to the main page, click the bunny, then go to either the weaving page or knitting page. The links to the finished items are there. ATM, I'm too blurry to remember the correct path. Sorry!)

Tonight is the big refill-the-pantry/freezer/refridgerator/kids run. Have to hit at least 2 grocery stores...I really do NOT want to see the total, but we are down to almost nothing except canned and boxed stuff (which includes spaghetti-o's and fake mac-n-cheese. Horrors!), so there is no way out. Wish me luck - I only hope I have room in the van for everything.

It's my fault - I didn't do my normal 1st of the month grocery run last month, since the kidlets were going to Granny's. BIG mistake.....ah well. Nothing that can't be remedied.

And, we'll have good eats for a while. MUCH better than the scavenged stuff I've been reduced to these past few days (although, honestly - baked chicken with butter and Penzey's Ozark seasoning is *terrific*, even with (icky) creamed corn. Or pork-n-beans. I need to try it with my Adobo seasoning...maybe the sweet curry, too (but not at the same time!). Hmmmmm...)

OH! I scored a decant of BPAL's Beaver Moon and MB: Underpants off of one of the BPAL LJ communities (check under sinandsalvation, I think that's the name - I joined 3 communities yesterday....yeah, I think I'm addicted. :hangs head:) Yeah, they're LEs, and I can't easily get any more, but if they work on me, I'll go thru the General Catalog and find something similar.

AND, the lab is up to 5/1 on shipping out orders - my first was 4/26, so I should have some smelly goodness hitting the PO soon. Whee!

Gotta pay my bills now.....stupid adult responsibilities. *g*
