Surfactant Leaching & Chemical Dependency
You are probably looking at my post title and thinking...what?! I'm reading up about surfactant leaching. I have self diagnosed our bathroom with this disorder. Basically, surfactants in the wall paint (I'm guessing it is some kind of chemical) is leaching and running down the walls. According to various online 'experts' who appear much smarter than I, the leaching is due to us not giving the paint the proper amount of time to dry before showering. Bummer.
So begins work week in the Craft household. One project for work week is to...tackle surfactant leaching.
Work week begins tonight...although I already did some caulking so I guess it truly began this afternoon. The caulk job took all of 30 minutes. And yet I'm tired. Which brings me to the second half of my post title; chemical dependency.
I'm afraid I have developed an addition...to coffee. It all started sometime after CJ was born and proceeded to be a poor sleeper up until, oh, last week! But hooray for good sleeping! Love you, CJ! I really, really love you! But up until last week I would start each day (bright and early) with two, sometimes three, cups of coffee. And now, I've discovered, that if I don't have any coffee I feel like a lump. I don't get headaches or starting shaking, convulsing or twitching but I am a good-for-nothing blob. Right now I feel like it is a morning without my coffee.

Oh, and I didn't forget Freebie Friday. Actually, I did up until 4 hours ago. So I didn't plan for a giveaway. I promise future Freebie Fridays will be more awesome. However, just like a college kid cramming for an exam, I have scrambled and come up with a prize.

Matt is extremely patient. Something I am NOT! He is able to quiet the spontaneity in me when needed. I really like that about him. It has probably saved me from trouble more than once. And it is probably also why I do home decorating projects when he isn't around. Heehee. Thanks, Matt!
On a totally unrelated note, are you using a bread recipe from the Artisan bread book from MMO? If so, which one? Also, I just polished off one of your chocolate chip cookies. And it was delicious! :o)
The surfactant leaching. Hmmm. Surfactants are what make lather in soap and make soaps work. Loosens dirt and grime. So what does that have to do with paint? Interesting.
My name is Julie and I am chemically dependent of caffeine. And your totally awesome granola!
