I Smell Like a Man

Yes, you read that right!

I smell like a man, and I love it!

Now I do not mean sweaty, sticky, icky and stinky man... (gaggagagagag)

I am talking about this:

Oh yeah baby!

For the past 18 months I have been gradually using my husbands stuff from the bathroom while ignoring my bottles and vials of stuff from Bath and Body works.

I discovered that I love Old Spice!

My favorite one right now is Swagger. isn't that such a fun and cool name? But I got a problem. The entire family loves it too! I caught my daughter using Swagger deodorant and my teen sons are requesting their own Swagger products so that we don't have to share.

So currently I have two Swagger body washes in each bathroom. My kids are sharing Swagger body spray and deodorant, and they all insist on having their own stash of Swagger products in their room.

My husband has been an Old Spice fan since boyhood and still uses Pure Sport or Fresh.

Pretty soon the entire house will be filled with OS Swagger products.

Now if they will make Swagger body lotion, I will be a happy woman!

If you are ever at loss on what to get me or any of my family members for our birthdays, we will be very happy to get this:

Have a nice Old Spice kind of day!

What is your favorite Old Spice smell? (on yourself or on your man)

The Candle Sniffers

I have a little pet peeve about something that EVERY cashier has done to me since I starting purchasing supplies at the store for the last 14 years.

1. I get an candle (and a bunch of other stuff)

2. I wait in line FOREVAH

3. I bite my tongue when cashier is SO slow

4. Cashier rings up my candle from my stash of other stuff, opens the lid and takes a sniff.

5. And I snarkily say "yeah, that smells good, don't it?" (thinking: make me wait a little longer, will ya?)

The first year during shopping for my family was fun.

The second year was okay.

The third year was boring.

The fourth year and continuing: STOP WASTING MY TIME!

If the cashier starts sniffing my gum and treats, I am seriously going to lose it.

(BTW: no male cashiers ever do this)

Maybe I should learn and make sure I get in line with the MALE cashiers. But they move so much
slower!!


Next time I am bring my friend Flower with me when I go shopping. I guarantee that the cashier will speed things up and stopping perusing over the items I decided to buy:

Summer Plans So Far

This is what I have been doing thus so far with my summer vacation with the kids:

This is what I wish my dogs could do this summer, I swear it seems to be more work:

I have also been doing lots of fun sewing projects. I do have four polka dot fabric stashes:

I have also been hosting a summer camp. The first week was Outerspace and Alien Day followed by Pirate Day. Next week is Hawaii/Beach Day. Then Diary/Car Wash/Farm Day. The third week will be Magic and Talent Show/Circus then followed later by Camp/Patriotic Day.

My kids have so much fun having their friends over for summer camp every year.

So that's my summer so far in a nutshell?

What have you been doing this summer? (and don't make me jealous and say that you are in Hawaii, or San Diego, or anywhere where the climate is cooler to the point of being able to walk outside without passing out by the time you reach your mailbox)
