lovely_luscious_bbw0's blog post - It's just one of those days....

It's raining incessantly outside and the temperature seems to be dropping at least a degree a minute.It has me pensive... sentimental,perhaps...

I know I mentioned in one of my past blogs how I love how smells can remind you of people in your past.I was standing next to a lady at the drugstore earlier who was wearing Windsong perfume.With just one slight whiff of it,I was suddenly 4 years old again standing in line at the TG&Y holding my Grandma's hand waiting on her to pay for whatever cheap,disposable toy I had put in to get,and a Payday candybar. Then I was that scared seven-year old with my face buried in her chest sobbing.I can remember that like it was an hour ago. I always hated that perfume.We'd tell her she smelled like a floozy because it seemed she always went just a little overboard with it. Then I can remember smelling it as I sat in her lap and helped her do word searches,or the one time I painted her toenails blue with pink flowers on them.

I guess it's only on days like these any of us ever stop long enough to smell the roses....or in my case,to smell the lady in the checkout line!

That is so sweet. I have memories attached to smells too. And it's always wonderful to catch a whiff and smile while remembering. Glad your memories are happy ones.

I do this too. There's a lady I see sometimes who wears a perfume my ma wore when I was little. I love it. It makes me feel warm and happy.
