Thankful for my nose

Today my nose is stuffed up. Well, it is stuffed up a lot being pregnant, but I think I am actually coming down with a cold now too. Anyway, it has made it difficult to smell all the wonderful things around me that I love so much. I am not as sensitive to smells as one of my sisters (who constantly reminded me when she would sit on an old couch of mine how much it stunk, but she was the only one who could smell it). I just enjoy things that smell good. Here are some of my favorite:

We all know I love the smell of bleach, it's a given. This includes Comet cleanser with bleach. I actually miss being able to bend over the bathtub to scrub it with Comet. I am good at dumping the Comet in the toilet, but the thought of actually cleaning it (since I haven't been doing it regularly) makes me want to vomit. I like to clean my sheets regularly because they are white and I can dump bleach in the load.

I love candles, especially my fall scents, like pumpkin, cinnamon vanilla, and one that smells like wassail. But, only if the house is clean. I went and got a pedicure yesterday and there was a candle burning in the bathroom, I was in heaven.

I love the smell of lemon cleaning stuff. Maybe I just love the smell of a clean house. I have been known to wipe down the counters and kitchen table more than twice a day just because I want the house to smell clean. It's a close tie between lemon and bleach.

I love the smell of pine, but it has to be natural, no candles, no spray, just a fresh tree at Christmas time. Of course, I can't keep it watered, so my tree is fake. If I had a housekeeper, then I would have a fresh tree.

So, I don't even want to clean my house today because I can't smell today from the junk in my nose. I hope it gets clean anyway.
