Friday Five good things
My “sensitive” little pal sends out a challenge.
Hers is five really good things, but I think I can only manage marginally good things depending upon the time of day!
‘Good things’ always makes me thing of Martha Stewart, which is always daunting.
Five! No longer a challenge.
I only usually go up to three and that’s on a good day. But now I’ve done 18 I feel as if I’ve graduated.
If we’re supposed to link then you may be out of lucky as I’m a bit technically challenged, otherwise….
1. fresh cranberry sauce with grated orange [sorry Thanksgiving aftermath]
2. newly mown grass, assuming I didn’t have to mow it myself
3. the smell of ironing [reminds me of my mum, as I'm allergic to ironing myself]
4. freshly baked bread just before it comes out of the oven and has filled the whole house with wafts of yeast [especially if I'm warming it up from the supermarket rather than having to make my own because I'm a bit lazy like that.]
5. WD40 because that means nothing will squeak and be annoying.
I’ve just realized that those are all smells! I must be hungry or something [but not for the WD40, just for the peaceful break of a snack.]
Now surely just about anyone can do five, especially if you’re the lazy type that didn’t manage to conjure up a list of things that you’re thankful for for Thanksgiving! Oops, that would be me of course. Let me know when you list. Perhaps you could do 5 good things using a different sense? Or one for each sense? See how helpful I am being.

Oh yes! I lurve the smell of fresh ironing. As long as I am not the one doing the actual ironing!
Bread, not so much. My Boo has gluten free bread and it smells like butt when it is baking. But real bread? *drool*
The worst smell in the world? Waking in the middle of the night with the scent of poo. Knowing that Boo is up decorating the house with fecal murals…..

my fave sounds…
1. Waves crashing
2. The wind blowing through palm trees
3. Rain falling on a tin roof.
4. ‘Vi, let me buy you a drink!’
5. The whir of my vibrator.

I love that last photo. Too funny! I like the smell of freshly cut grass too. I kinda like mowing the yard though.

The smell of fresh ironing immediately makes me think of the soap opera Days of Our Lives. “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives…” my mom ironing and watching her soap. Still remember the music. So many memories attached to smells.

I saw the guy who invented WD-40 die, which is an argument against wedding Cinga lines, not mine (wedding) which had no conga line. At least, he said he invented WD-40, before he died.

We’re supposed to iron??? *grin*
I may do 5 on my blog later this weekend. I do like making bread though and I love the smells. Hubby makes cinnamon buns that smell even better. *drool*

You don’t mean the “smells like bs***” in reference to good old Martha? 5 good smells sounds like a good post—-

Ooh, I love all of these but the last.
WD40? Seriously? LOL!

Freshly baked bread and freshly cut grass are two of my favorite aromas.
Floris of London, which specialized in single note fragrances, used to have one called “New Mown Hay,” which was exquisite. Sadly, they no longer make it.

I love that ironing smell too. And the smell of bullshit? All over me. Hope you had a great holiday.

I love ironing. I could watch Laura iron all day.
Hey! I do all the cooking, I’ll have you know! Hugs Maddy.
November 24th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Yep, I posted. I’m such a shmoo.

I am going to post a list, because I enjoyed yours and my last post was a tad dark, to say the least.
I had forgotten about the smell of ironing!
November 24th, 2007 at 10:55 pm
that last picture is a riot!
November 25th, 2007 at 7:23 am
BWAHAHA!
Okay… I’m addicted to yeast bread and I’m allergic to ironing. I’m sensing we have a few things in common. LOL

I’m very “smell”-y too and would have probably thought of smells as well.
