Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.

Rain came Monday so what is left of the snow isn't much fun anymore, just slippery.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun day! Glad you got to be out in the white stuff with glee! We have snow here from last week but yesterday's temps melted quite a bit of it (our front yard has almost no snow now while the front and side yard has lots still). We are now in cold temps through the end of the month, with below zero nights, but no snow forecasted again except possibly Monday.
