My to do list is long but my plan is to get as much of it accomplished today as possible. My hamper is overflowing, my carpets need vacuuming, my mail needs sorting, my finances need organizing, my work needs doing and my cameras need downloading. Oh, and my computers need to be backed up. Yeah, it’s a lot of stuff but I think I can make a good dent.
Last night I went to Audra’s fondue and flameless candle party. I opted not to buy a flameless candle. Honestly, it didn’t light my fire. If I want my house to smell like a sugar cookie, I’ll make sugar cookies. As the party started, the flameless candle woman was arranging the little vials of scents and I asked her what the codes on the lids stood for. “R is for romance, T is for tropical, M is for manly…”
“Manly?”
“Yes, these are masculine scents.”
I opened up a manly jar and took a sniff and said, “Mmmmmmm, fart.”
She didn’t find it as funny as I did. No one did. Ooops.
Maybe that’s why you’re mid 30s and single.
“Boys are icky”.
You must be having a bad day. You’ve never acted this rude before. I know you would never say, “Maybe that’s why you’re mid 30s and single” to a person’s face… why do you feel it’s okay to say it to me online?
Thanks for coming all the way anyway. Maybe you will change your mind if I start selling them? 😉 😉
I had a great time, Audge! And if you do decide to start selling them… I will definitely buy something from you– gotta support my peeps!
Donna, your response to the sales woman was perfect IMHO. The only way to respond to a patently ridiculous comment or situation is with abject mockery. Sarcasm – it beats killing people…
That said, I’m curious about the nature of the “masculine” scents. Sawdust? WD-40? Aqua di Gio? Perhaps the saleswoman was irritated by the “masculine scents” did smell like a fart… lol
I was just being silly! Really! No sarcasm at all! But the manly scents were actually very nice– one was called Hemmingway— I said it smelled like the smoke of a discharged rifle… that one didn’t go over so well either. But it had a nice subtle scent– kinda like cologne. There was one called Bourbon that actually smelled like bourbon. I can’t recall the other scents but they didn’t smell like berries or fruits or baked goods or flowers. Here’s their Website if you really feel motivated: http://www.scentsy.net/
You’re right. I would say “you’re single and mid 30s” to my
cousin’s face. Sorry for the confusion.
Erm, no thanks! Men don’t do candles (unless they’re priests, I guess)
