We'll return to our regularly scheduled program next week

I think we can all agree that weekends are just too short. If every weekend was a 3 day weekend, that would be ideal. 

Although it was a canning/baking weekend again, it didn't mean I wasn't thinking about soaping. Every time I saw air bubbles in my jam, I was tempted to grab my bottle of rubbing alcohol and spritz them. 

So what did you get up to these last couple of days? Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

    1. If I could send you a jar without worrying about one or both of us getting in trouble for transporting illegal substances between countries Maja, I'd definitely send you one.

    1. I guess if I spritzed with say, tequila or vodka, it wouldn't be bad though, would it? ;)

      I don't know if I was so much busy as it just takes so friggin' long to get things done. you know how it is Teresa.

  3. I think that if weekends were 3 days, we'd want 4...it just goes by too darn fast :(

    That's too funny about wanting to use rubbing alcohol on your jam bubbles...lol!

    1. It's true Cee, I'm thinking about retirement and not ever having to think about when the next long weekend will be.

      Good thing I didn't have my soaping stuff out while I was making jam, I'd have really kicked myself.

  4. Lol! You are so funny (wanting to spray the jam). Doesn't it feel good to make things? I always feel so productive afterwards. I agree... give us 3 days weekends pleazzzze!!

    1. Oh Michelle, I don't know where my head is these days. I think I'm going senile and mixing up too many things that I enjoy. I did feel productive, and it's nice to have those jars of jam ready to use or give away, but without a 3 day weekend, there's not enough time to get everything done, don't you agree?

  5. I think every weekend the same: if I had one more day ... it's always too short :)
    I am still dreaming of your mango jam, Monica! I use to buy mangos but we eat them so quickly...:)
    Today it's a day off in Belgium and to celebrate it, I want to make a raw cake :)

    1. But like Cee said, if we had a 3 day weekend, we'd want a 4 day one. :)

      We bought a case of mangoes this time, do you ever do that Nat? Of course there's only 2 of us so we can only eat so many mangoes. A raw cake, that sounds really cool! I hope you'll blog about it, or post it somewhere so we can see it. Hope you had a great day off!
