She's 65, and said she would do this. And then didn't.

I'm looking at hotels that are on trucking roots and have comments about the parking lot being popular hangout spots for delinquents and thin walls and smoking rooms sharing their smell. Awesome. I know we're just sleeping there, but, awesome.

My mom's most annoying habit by far is asking around stuff. Instead of coming right out and saying "Will you do the dishes?" It's 15 minutes of questions about who ate last, when the dishwasher was last emptied and who did that, whether you plan on leaving the house and leaving dishes in the sink.

Jon doesn't always appreciate my bluntness, but he's seen the alternative and how crazymaking it is.

You guys! It's national grilled cheese month! [link]

There are a handful of guys frequently in my office who must bathe in cologne. And all varieties that give me headaches.

After one left the other day, I turned to my officemate and said "I like you. You don't try to smell pretty." He just cracked up.

I kinda don't deliberately wear scents. I do use lavender dryer sheets, so there's that. But my shampoos and bodaywashes and soaps are mostly Dove and my anti-perspirant is usually something generic like "fresh" or powder. So I probably just smell like Dove.

I love aveda scents for... an hour. Then they start headaches. Either from smell or the fact they make Loki attack my head.

You guys! It's national grilled cheese month!

Don't worry, lisah's got it covered.

Also, I did have a grilled cheese for lunch.

Aw, and I had a cheese on toast sandwich that I explicitly thought "it's not grilled cheese but it's good on it's own merits" about, but now it's thematically off message for the month. Good thing the month isn't over.

My mother does that, too. I think it's some combination of generational and a gender thing -- girls were taught not to be demanding, so they end up finding these ridiculous ways to ask for what they want without actually asking for it.

Timelies all!

I'm sorry for your loss, Gud.

I don't wear perfume, though I do like scented shower gel. I tend to go for fruity/sweet scents. Yeah, I like stuff that smells like dessert. :) Most of the scent washes down the drain, so I'm not bothering others or myself with it.(I switched to unscented deodorant when I couldn't take the scent wafting up at me all day)

Baby powder! I can handle that scent in moderation. It's my deodorant of choice.
