Soap Obsessed

Thursday, March 19, 2009

Ever since I was a little girl I have been obsessed with soap! I just can't get enough. I have secret stashes of soaps and wipes. Ironically I have a bit of a phobia when it comes to Purell. OK, back up. Years ago when Purell (alcohol based hand sanitizer) first came out I worked at a book store. The only restrooms were located either down stairs or upstairs. Because I dealt with so many people each day I longed for a break to go and wash my hands. Unfortunately these didn't come very often. I found Purell and was in heaven.

Purell and wipes gave me a sense of peace, if only for a moment, that I could decontaminate myself. Years later the thought of Purell began to terrorize me! The obsessions and rituals that a person suffering from OCD has are not always rational. This is one of them. When you use a hand sanitizer you cannot rinse it off. Because of this I began to think, "the only thing worse than germs is DEAD GERMS!" So, if you have ever offered me a squirt of Purell and I declined. Now you know why!

(I just shuttered thinking about the dead germs!)

Back to soap... Here is a printable soap deal from Johnsons and Johnsons. Awsumb and I love Buddie Bars. I won't say how many I ended up with. Let's just say my supply will last Awsumb through his teen years LOL!
