Lotion

I bought new lotion. I didn't actually intend on buying it, but in the process of trying to smell it (I have issues with the way things smell) I accidentally opened it. So, you know, then I had to buy it.

I used it for the first time today.

Smell, it's such a funny thing. It's amazing how just a little scent can bring back so many memories. Sometimes sad ones, sometimes happy ones. There have even been occasions where I have laughed out loud just because of the way something smelled and the memories it brought to mind.

Today, as I squeezed the lotion into my hands and began rubbing them together I suddenly found my self day dreaming about:

cinnamon and powdered sugar covered donuts

butter on club crackers

sugar dissolved in half and half with Rice Krispies poured in

toast with so much butter on it, it had become soggy

soap operas

boxes of chocolates with the corners bitten off

instant coffee

chicken pot pies

domino's

and $20 bills

because the lotion I was using smelled just a little bit like my Grandma. Sometimes I forget how much I miss her.
