So, when LBJ was in Israel in September he brought me back some Ahava Dead Sea Body products. Apparently some people stop in Tel Aviv just for a trip to the duty free shops to buy some. I’ve tried them all and love them, but I was saving the Body Mud for a special occasion. He is back in Jerusalem on a business trip so I decided to try it in honor of his absence. BAD IDEA! My bathroom is now covered in mud and I can’t tell you how silly I felt covered in dirt as I waited the 10 minutes for it to dry.

The Craft Corner Death Match is a hilarious and addictive crafting show on the Style Network. It describes itself as Martha Stewart Living meets Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome – it’s home ec as extreme sport, and someone’s about to get the craft kicked out of ‘em.

UPDATE: The funeral Mass for the Pope John Paul Kiwi has ended and his body has reached its final resting place. A final farewell was held before a small group of people at the tomb located in a kitchen in Lexington, MA where the remains of other kiwis are currently resting. His kiwi body was placed in the trash with a small set of items dictated by history and Vatican protocol: his paper white and red vestments and his plastic arms and googly eyes.
