Wet!

[beetiger]

When I first slipped on the puddle on the floor of the baby's room this morning, I wasn't really that awake yet, so I figured that he'd managed to pull his diaper off again and had peed on the floor. Then I looked in the crib to get him ,and he wasn't there. He had squirmed through the bars and was on the floor, in water-form, laughing his head off and wrestling a small trout.

He looked up at me with a giant grin and said "Veer".
"Virid was here to play with you?"
"Ess! Veer!"

I scooped him up and threw him into the bathtub to wash the fish smell off of him. He giggled, and filled the tub with water before I got a chance to. I washed his fur while I stared at his magerium a bit. The slim little twig did indeed have tiny buds popping through. Creoc, Kennoc, and Mutoc. Aquador, Corpador, Pyrador and Mentador. His magic is definitely coming in! I hadn't expected this for at least another few months, but I guess the gods snuck in the back door when I wasn't looking.

I let him drench the cat a bunch and try to light some candles that I put in the tub, and I *think* he's out of cley for the day. Thank the gods kids this young can't focus enough to meditate yet. (I hope.)

I need to call the childproofers again this morning and see if they have any bound "Heal the Awful Wound" in stock, and we're going to have to put off that vacation for a bit so we have the lozens to sign up for a Mommy and Me sponting class.

And invest in some new mops.

A few more small trouts and you'd have a meal there. (grin)

I expect to see trout in the toy kitchen sink on a regular basis now.

On a madly unrelated note (I love this post), cloverr says you custom-blend incenses. I'd love to hear more about that -- I'm a Buddhist, so I actually go through the stuff at a fairly good clip, but I have to shop carefully, being badly allergic to pine! (And most conifers. Christmas parties are quite tough for me....)

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

My "official" website sells incense making ingredients and single scent Roll-Your-Own Kits, as well as natural incenses from around the world. You can find it at www.makeincense.com. Informally, yes, I do custom blending, either of dry ingredients that you can then roll yourself, or I can hand-roll incense for you based on your scent preferences or religious needs.

I sell White Pine Bark as a material, but none of my kit blends contain pine. I don't think most of my finished Japanese incenses have coniferous materials in them either, except for the obviously named Viva Pine. If there's any of them you want me to check with the makers on, just let me know.

That makes scents. (Sorry. Sorry. cloverr knows alllll about my hyperactive pun reflex.)

Is Nag Champa a compound of various ingredients, or a thingy unto itself?

I lean decidedly toward sandalwood and patchouli, but a good floral fragrance will get me as well. Lilac... honeysuckle... *zips off to your website*

Nag Champa is a blend of herbs, flowers, and oils that's used in most Indian temples. I carry the most commonly exported brand of it. It's a powdery floral sort of fragrance, and people who "make" it in the US usually do the soaking-sticks-in-oils style of incense making with a synthetic oil, not the whole-herb type of incense I do. Sandalwood and Patchouli are great whole herb incenses. Florals are tougher; for most of them you have to use oils, and for some of them, a natural essential oil can't be made or is ridiculously expensive, so you are looking at synthetics. I do carry a lovely ylang ylang oil, though.
