Saturday we watched a cable sit-com called Dead Like Me. The first DVD contained the pilot that got us hooked on the show. Overall it is a very interesting show about a different take on the afterlife and the role of grim reapers. It was a very well made show and if you don’t mind several people meeting their demise every episode and you have an open mind to different ideas of death, it could be the show for you (still working on accepting that first bit).

Sunday I had Ina, Irene and Lorene over to make soap and candles. We made soap the quick way using melt and pour glycerin soap. Just a quick nuke in the microwave and the soap is ready for any additives. This time I tried adding some rosemary powder and leaves to get a very beautiful looking horse soap. Ina really got the pattern down and made some beautiful combination soaps- I remember one where a dark blue starfish rested inside of a light oval. She also used some blueberry tea to make a lovely blue hewed soap. Lorene brought some beautiful gel candle shapes of flowers and polygons making a lovely votive with blue flowers inside clear gel and the wonderful mold which I used to make my horse soap. Irene brought some great books on salt dough- it is amazing what one can make with flour, salt and water. She made a cute orange and a snowman.

While I was being crafty with my friends, Mark played some games at Pegasus: the Egyptian bidding game Amun Re, a Zoo management game called ZooSim and a quick, cute Flea Circus game. Since I don’t like Zoos, we thought I probably wouldn’t like ZooSim unless I treated it like an animal reserve game, which is very easy to do since the tiles don't have cages on them. Overall, they were games we probably won’t get but Mark had a great time!
