I actually had an argument with a man from Turkey who was registering his son for classes and did not want to check white. It was hard to explain that I really had no contraol over the categories, but I tried to get him to check "other" if he felt strongly about it.

Remember last summer, the woman at work who had the serious conversation with me about how I smelled bad with a funny odor she could not place. Well today, in the car, driving me to work, she told me though she hasn't smelled it in a long time, I smelled again today!

Way to make me feel awful and awkward all day!

Jesus. On the upside, I think I figured out what she is smelling-- when I have itchy skin, I cover myself with Gold Bond Medicated powder, which has that weird menthol scent. I haven't done so since last summer, but I was feeling a little itchy the past couple of days, so I powdered up this morning. .

OMG that woman! And that sounds like a pleasant scent to me, so I think you can rest assured it's really Just Her. Good thing it's not your expensive perfume....

So....wine. My stomach doesn't like me this morning, despite judicious application of water and tonic alongside the wine. Uhg.

OMG that woman!

I'm with Jesse. She's tactless.

I have to admit an odd fondness for the smell of Gold Bond powder. I like that whiff of menthol.

Right?? It's not like Sophia is wearing Crap Powder -- it's a smell people like!

I now feel the need to market Crap Powder, for when you want to smell like crap!

I applied for a couple of new jobs yesterday. One application took me 2 hours. Exhausted. Also my house is a mess, but instead of going home and cleaning last night we went over to my parents'. Dad is in quite a bit of pain from the surgery.

aw poor msbelle Dad!

And

OMG that woman!

FOR REAL! sheesh.

Our CSA starts tomorrow and I'm so excited! WHAT WILL BE IN IT?! I'm picking up at Waverly, sara, so maybe I'll see you!

I wish I had a CSA- it is too hard for me to pick one up and take it on the bus, plus most of the CSA's here want you to go work on the farm, which is also hard without a car.

I am really annoyed, but it is clear she thinks she is just being nice. And she is stuck in a car with someone, who, to her, smells awful. I have also heard her on the phone with her (mentally challenged) brother and she is always telling him to shower and put on deodorant because he smells.

Right?? It's not like Sophia is wearing Crap Powder -- it's a smell people like!

Word. And even if someone dislikes that particular smell, its a "clean" smell for heaven's sake -- it doesn't smell like pits or socks or the like.

Sorry hurty msbelle dad.

I continue to be taken aback at that woman. Having a sensitivity to smells is something I'm way familiar with, but there's a clear distinction between saying someone smells bad and someone's wearing a smell you don't like.
