I can eat it but when I think about it I visualize something like that painting, only wetter. I think I saw one too many floating fish eyeballs during my Alaskan youth. <BR/><BR/>Whenever someone else holds my baby I have to bring her home and scrub her down so she smells like sweet lavender Johnson's again.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518442124374879454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-23188677301856029852007-02-13T11:59:00.000-07:002007-02-13T11:59:00.000-07:00Someone needs to come over and figure out what the...Someone needs to come over and figure out what the smell is in my daughters' room.

Donn used to eat them even when he didn't have to, under the theory that he'd get used to it, but I avoided them under my philosophy of "lowest possible lifetime total".

I notice it then. <BR/><BR/>When we were first married we lived upstairs from a Korean couple who delighted in the wonders of Kim Chi.

I busted up laughing at your Hoover comment & quickly shared it with my hubby since we have been dealing with our own Hoover problems & Fantastic Five (http://docfamily.blogspot.com/) has also been dealing with Hoover fun & now has a nice mele (sp?). Very creative blog as always & I always wonder what my house smells like since after moving out of my parents house & returning one day I was proud to realize that their house was feeled with the overwhelming scent of fabric softener... good thing to smell.

This post has forced me to face one of my worst fears, that my house may indeed be "a smelly house" Not only do I have diapers on the window sills, but in every trash recepticle in the house.
