Do smells remind you of time periods?

Random question, I know.  But it always happens with me.  If I smell something (it can be anything from perfume, to food, to something outdoors) – I’m quite often reminded of a certain event or time period.
Examples: if I smell the old “Coco Cabana” lotion from Bath & Body Works that they still put out [...]

My camera is on it’s last leg!

Mike couldn’t have picked a better time to be the NICEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD, and buy my birthday present 2 months early!  My camera is fighting me tooth and nail right now, it will let me turn it on and look at pictures, but if I try to take one, it shuts off.  And [...]

Volleyball night

Hola chicas!  (and chicos?) 
Today was fairly standard, aside from the fact that I didn’t have my car.  Good news on that though – it didn’t cost me ANY money to get it fixed because it was just a huge ice build up underneath the car that was causing a problem!  I love our [...]

Snowy Saturday

Yuck yuck and yuck.  While a whole bunch of snow can certainly look very pretty – it doesn’t look so nice when you are thinking about running errands.  Overnight – we much have gotten at least 8 inches of snow!
Last year when we had a blizzard  – the morning looked just like this!  Anyone remember [...]

Back in the groove!

Happy Saturday ya’ll!

I started the day off with my favorite breakfast – eggs, cheese, and [...]
