you smell so lovely..what are you wearing? downy.

we woke up earlier than expected today and i definitely had a sore throat-drainage boo. it came on from out of nowhere.

so...the other day when we went with some of the other teachers to help with navidad en el barrio, it was actually pretty fun, but there was someone who had on some kind of perfume or something that had a scent that i kept smelling and i loved it! but i couldn't figure out exactly who had it on, then i think i figured it out, but i opted against asking what it was because the last thing i wanted is for her to do was go post in her blog about someone asking what kind of perfume she was wearing. smile.

 i remember one time when i asked one of my coworkers at a magazine fulfillment company what perfume or lotion she was wearing because it smelled really good. she was hispanic, and i wasn't sure we were communicating because she said she wasn't wearing any perfume (twice i asked and got the same answer)...i finally asked her why she smelled so good?  downy. it was her fabric softener.. i guess i just like the smell of clean.

so today i went to bed bath and beyond for soap and looking for that fresh scent. well, i don't know that i found the exact scent, but i found one that i think might be close. and of course, you know how they are with the buy three gimmick. well, i was on a mission and i resisted!! proud of me!

sensory overload whenever i go in there. my sniffer says, "that'll be enough of that!"

so when i got home, i took chaco for a walk. but this time, we went out of the complex around to the new park they built behind the savoye in addison-vitruvian park. it's a nice little park. i've included some pictures.

chaco was most impressed, although there weren't many others visiting today. i promised him there would most likely be bigger crowds in the summer and he seemed okay with that. i heard him telling bruno about it, trying to make him jealous to see if perhaps he might come with us next time...he didn't give an answer. i might start stopping there after school to go walking though, because it's a bigger loop around than our trail...and i can walk faster if i don't have the boys with me...then take chaco for a shorter walk at the complex. hmm...sounds good.

i got these great Christmas stickers from a friend,and i think i am going to have to decorate some notes for Christmas! woo hoo!! love holiday stickers!

aren't stickers just fun?! i used to collect the ann frank stickers in a special book-that eventually got 'misplaced' by mom in file 13...

smell ya lata',
