I've been OBSESSED with this scent since receiving a candle as a gift a couple years ago. And I just recently found out I can smother myself in this scent!

Me: Hello.

Because, well you know, I am often mistaken for Mary Kate Olsen. Ashley...not so much, but I'm a ringer for MK.

There are a few things I love in life...synchronized dancing and sponteneous group singing being two. Last night I dreamt that Tim and I were in a bar and while someone was walking out they started singing a tune to themselves. Well, it was a catchy tune, so a few people started singing along and next thing you know the whole bar was singing (sadly, i can't recall the tune, but it had to be something like Sweet Caroline or Lean on Me, where you just can't help yourself). I was GIDDY in my dream because, well, this just doesn't happen in real life. But there it was happening! (albeit in a dream, but in my dream I didn't know that). We then went to another location and it happened again (what are the odds, it was my best day ever). We then went to a Karaoke bar and a new work friend of mine was singing a song that was so funny that (in my dream) i was laughing so hard that i couldn't breathe or stand up.
then...i woke up. Boo... spontaneous singing doesn't happen in real life, it's the stuff of high school musicals and, I guess, dreams. But why not, we all know Sweet Caroline and Lean on Me, why can't we just sing it all together? (please?) Say, in line at the grocery store or mid-meeting. Last night, at a Toastmasters meeting a man gave a speech about letting out your Inner child. My inner child would like to be let out to break into song in random situations. Oh, and if we all knew the dances that went with said songs, even better.
The Dallas malls and being able to afford new shoes, like these (by Crocs (really! i almost couldn't post them due to my feeling about Crocs (they're not right!) but these boots really are cute).

Well, I was busted today by the Albertson's stocker while voguing (with the cart as a prop) in the peanut butter aisle (I believe what he said was "Go on then, girl") The truth is, I have no shame when it comes to dancing to grocery store music but I don't usually expect to be called out. Generally, I find that Randalls/Tom Thumb has the best tunes, but Albertson's must have upgraded. Following Vogue was RockOn. Remember it? "Hey kids, rock and roll...rock on!" Good freaking tune. Anyway, dancing in stores also effectively embarasses my husband, which is always enjoyable. I've been known to do the "Phoebe run" out of stores just to make him blush.
