It smelled really good outside during my nightly "run." Like the inside of a pirate ship.
But there was this one house we kept passing that was drying a load of laundry. The smell was distinct--they use the same cheap laundry detergent as my SIL, Katie Morgan. Every time we passed it, a clear picture would pop into my head of Katie doing that groovy little shoulder-thrust
She moved away to Idaho last Friday. Do you think she knows what's going on in my life, that I think of her, and that I still have such a clear, almost perfect memory of her after all this time?
Here's what the sky looks like today:

You keel me. Still putting the word "run" in quotation marks. I am astounded that you can still remember Katie so clearly after all this time. She must have really made an impression.
ps. I think I'm gonna make a perfume/cologne that smells like a desert post rainstorm. Can I count on you to mass market that puppy for me?
Don't forget to add in the cheap detergent smell to it.
I'll tell Katie you said hi when I go over there to watch her dance.
You're like that one Californian twin on Parent Trap. "I shall always remember my grandfather smelled of peppermint and tobacco!"
I wonder what my SILs smell like.....
"Years form now, when I'm quite grown up, I shall always remember my grandfather smelling of... (sniff, sniff)... tobacco and peppermint."
"Well the peppermint is for the indigestion, and the tobacco is to make your grandmother mad."
See what kind of memory I have from smelling stuff? That's an exact quote from the Parent Trap.
"Let's get together....yea, yea, yea...."
I know my quote is shorter but I didn't Google mine... cheater.
Uh, that's from memory. We had that movie on Beta Max when we were kids and would watch it every Sunday before 6pm (no TV after 6 on Sunday, except for Life Goes On--"Turn out the lighst charlishes.")
"What foor?"
"Romanshce"
We were the opposite growing up... no TV until AFTER 5pm.. cuz that's when the Muppets came on.
You guize are going to H for making fun of Corky.
set aside the waether which I loved...Im thinkin Im not so much liking those first two songs. I have to admit..far from Amy thT i visot your 1st playlist, 2nd posts..Thanks for refreshing my memory of the collect song though but not thanks for the insultive e-mail..so I am a fan of the 90's and I preferre women singers..no I am ot a lesbo. I hope you had a fabulous day (read my e-mail..more songs!)
were is spell check on this thing?? Can you read what I meant to say or should I just call?? SORRY!
Erin, I have no clue what you are trying to say. Are you OK?
I just lost my train of thought...I can't compete with those witty comments...
I love how Erin suddenly became coherent 1 minute later!
Keep up the "running"! Good job. I love how the air outside is after a rain too.
Emily, did you just refer to Erin's comment as witty?
But just so you know, there's really no competition of wit going on here--I appreciate any and all comments the same. (Although, I do find you to be one of the wittiest bloggers I know. Mums the word.) I'm just humbled that anyone besides my mom takes the time to read the junk I put up here.
oo very PRETTY! ! !
and i love the rain.
when it rains EVERYONE should be outside
Am I flattered or creeped out? That smell, you smell is a mix of cheap laundry soup, BO, and desperation.
