Huh. I was reading susandennis' post that mentioned a Mini Cooper, and Mini also makes a small SUV with all wheel drive that is very similar to the Kia Soul, only cooler-looking.

When you talked about cleaning the bathroom of old samples and soaps, I was reminded of cleaning out my MIL's place. I think many of us when we don't know what to get someone for a gift will give bath products. Everyone bathes. Bath stuff is consumable, so it doesn't create clutter. But so much of it goes to waste in the end. People were always giving MIL baskets of bath stuff, but she had her favorite products and never touched any of them. The Christmas before she died my mother gave her some soaps and lotions from Beekman goat farm and we found the unopened bottles in her bathroom when we cleaned out. Mom took them back and used them herself. There have been times when MIL gave me sets from Bath and Body Works, and I'm not crazy about their stuff because the scents are too fake and overpowering, but I realized I should use them because they clutter the bathroom otherwise.

Yeah, it looks like my mom saved the fancy body washes and soaps for a special occasion that never came. I'm going to use up the body washes now and not save them.
