It's Tuesday and Rosa Parks Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm taking community project points, with rose as a minor player in Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto.
Reminder: 2/7 is Rose Day, but we've already done rose for a Friday project at least twice, so we'll put a spin on it this time...wear your favorite fragrance that has a rose note but doesn't smell primarily of rose, or wear a rose fragrance layered with something that tones down the rose.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the Judith Leiber Couture Teapot Tranquili-Tea Minaudiere (yep, that's a purse) is $5,495 (yep again) at Neiman Marcus.
Wouldn’t want to break that tea 🫖 pot!
I am doing a week of Chanel.
Today I am in one of my favorites that I would love a full bottle one day: 31 Rue Cambon
Yesterday I wore Comete, before that 19 Poudre
Ha, no you wouldn’t!
I love 31 rue Cambon too, you smell great.
I feel really elegant in this.
I said Coco Noir was my favorite Chanel recently, but 31 RC is my all time favorite Chanel. I still have a little over a half bottle left. Love it!
I am wearing Infusion d’iris today. Tomorrow will probably be Lyric, which is my favorite rose. I think no 19 edp will be Friday’s SOTD.
No 19 is perfect.
I’m in a favorite, Hermann à mes Côtés, which has a rose note, but only faintly in the background, as a rather generic floral note.
Excellent, and even the name fits the cp.
Hello NST.
That little teapot purse is kind of amazing.
Today I’m gathering no points, wearing L’orpheline for it’s beautiful incense. I need to do a week of incense perfumes before long.
It’s was 52F yesterday and 25F this morning, February returns.
There is a tea cup purse too 🙂
I have a few things in mind for the CP, but this morning the hand went to Or du Serail. Its mango note is quite cheery on this chilly morning. Snow predicted for tomorrow morning, thankfully only an inch or so, and temperatures rising to 40f by noon-ish. Might have to bundle up and take some pictures while the snow lasts.
We are supposed to get some sort of bad weather later this week, but I refuse to investigate 🙂
Today I’m in vintage Halston Catalyst for Men, which according to Fragrantica has rose in it along with about thirty-six other things, not that you’d notice — it’s mostly about spices and balsams, and pretty spectacular. (For some reason they don’t list clove, which to me is one of the dominant notes.)
That’s a new one to me – sounds pretty amazing!
It’s discontinued, of course, but if you can find a bottle for a reasonable price (and good luck with that), snap it up. It’s great stuff, complicated in the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink mode that dominated perfumery from the early eighties until well into the nineties, and the packaging is irresistible — the bottles are laboratory beakers and flasks, the EDT is in a big test tube complete with stand, and when it was launched the GWP was a little test-tube rack with 30-mL bottles of three products from the line. Everything about it said “We know what men want.”
In rose with a capital R today, from my estate sale acquired bottle of Joy. Bottle must be from the 70s and smells perfect.
For those in need of a laugh, this week’s installment of French Chic
Expert is entertaining:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubqE8h0p5Ck
What a great estate sale find!
Galbanumgal, that’s an excellent find! Vintage Joy! I watched the fashion video- her wit is wonderful. She did make me miss Elsa Klensch’s catwalk reports on CNN decades ago.
Amazing estate sale find!
Yum.
Hello.
Sotd is Oud Alezan.
Passed by Tom Ford and F-ing Fabulous is now available in Parfum! The bottle is the same black but with a metallic oxblood plaque. Smells very similar to FF, a little more power perhaps but there is also a greenish, fresh note at the beginning. Worth a sniff, not sure about purchase though..
I saw that. For some reason it made me laugh, like “Parfum” made the name even funnier.
I’m not doing the CP yet because I wanted to wear my recent purchase, ELdO Story of Your Life, a very comforting amber with cocoa, rum, and bread notes…. Mmmmm. I now am wanting to be in a French bakery for a fresh croissant!
Today is haircut day, can’t wait, badly needed. Ironically a friend commented on how nice my hair looked yesterday. Uh oh. I thought to myself, “Are you kidding me?”
I bought a sample of your sotd since you mentioned it and we have some similar likes. It’s gorgeous!
Oh good, glad you like it!
I just bought a sample also! Your description sounds promising
Hope that your haircut turned out the way you wanted it to!
You know, my hair gets to a certain length and looks really good and that’s when I know it needs a cut, because in one more week it will be too long and get stringy 🙂
The puddles produced by yesterday’s above-freezing temperatures and consequent snow melt have today, with temps in the 20’s, turned into sullen and treacherous mini ice-rinks on sidewalks and driveways, and in backyards. But at least a couple of my orchids are blooming, and a couple of others are preparing to do so! Nothing fancy, just grocery-store phalaenopsis, but a welcome sight on a gloomy day.
I’m staying on the green path and wearing Goutal Grand Amour, though I fear it is actually wearing me. And it has a rose note, though I can’t find it, so I’m CP compliant, sort of.
I loved keeping phalaenopsis orchids right around Y2K. Also did a fair number of dendrobium. At one point I even considered getting an aquarium to help keep them happy.
I have 3 orchids, one of which I have already managed to get to bloom again, and I don’t know the proper name of any of them 🙂
I feel triumphant every time one re-blooms, even though I’m not really sure I had anything to do with it aside from watering.
Ha, same!
Kinda reeling from that $5000+ teapot purse AND ther’a a coordinating teacup bag too!?! Wouldn’t want to break it indeed!
Today I’m wearing Encens Mythique from the kind welcoming Kris, after Itis Poudre yesterday. Perfect for a rainy day (but only 0.25”) here in LA.
Iris! Fragrance too luscious to have a typo.
So, curious if you like them both or just the Iris Poudre.
I like them both. I would wear the Iris Poudre at any time, the EM at night or in the winter. The IP had incredible sillage on me, and the different stages really filled me nose with many different scents. The powder became very soft and sweet as time went by. When I hugged my neighbor goodbye after joining us for dinner, she said I smelled amazing 8 hrs after application. EM: The strong incense definitely reminded me of church on the initial opening. 6 hrs later it’s moved onto a smooth spice note. Both days I keep smelling my wrist because of the fragrance. Thank you again Kris for the NST welcome to a newbie!
So glad you like both of them.
Encens Mythique is aptly named, isn’t it?
This will be a fun cp. Admittedly I am not a fan of rose as a dominant note, but I do have many fragrances according to fragrantica that have rose in them.
I’m not compliant today in Vanille Insensee, but I do smell good.😊
Hey there friend!
My weather guy said that your area has not had much snow this winter. I’m jealous! But happy for you. Lol.
We sure haven’t had any. We need moisture. Looks like we may have snow this week.
I’m getting freezing rain tomorrow and snow over the weekend.
Smelling good Madtowngirl!
I’m not either, Madtowngirl, and yet I also have a lot of fragrances that feature rose. Today I’ve chosen Tocade from Rochas, an ambery vanillic rose with woods and spices. It’s one of my more sweet fragrances, but everything is perfectly balanced. I also love the cheerful geometric sculptural bottle.
Daniel, the Halston Catalyst Man was also notable for coming in a very faux scientific presentation. The bottle looked like a test tube suspended between two metal posts. Or maybe that was an LE, I can’t remember, but it was striking.
Wearing SL La Couche du Diablo for the CP, a spice-amber cocktail with sticky rose. Yesterday I was walking the dog around the playing fields and sports grounds ( a good area for birdwatching in the bordering trees) when I noticed that one of the fields was full of players which is unusual on an early weekday morning. Anyway, I went closer and it was rugby players, (turned out to be the trials for our professional rugby team). They were huge, tall and solid and so fast. Rugby players don’t wear all that stuff that American footballers do ( although they do wind electrical tape around their heads and ears …to stop their ears being pulled in a scrum off I guess…you see the tape sometimes then incorporated into blackbird nests, because plastic must have its uses). I stood on the edge of the pitch watching as it was pretty mesmerising for rugby. I thought of them later when I was at the gym with my 10kg weights…goodness knows what they lift, probably each other.
Some of my favorite TT/Reels content features rugby players 😂
LOL about the rugby players’ gym routines!
Rugby was big in my high school. Haven’t seen a game since then!
I’m wearing Eau Capitale for the latent rose.
I rarely, if ever thunk bottles but today I thunked a bottle of Fragonard Narcisse. It doesn’t feel quite as satisfying as I hoped because it’s a bottle of that I didn’t care for as a fragrance and used instead as a bathroom freshener. Oh well, a thunk is a thunk.
Oh, it’s latent for you in Eau Capitale? I find it quite prominent, even though it is not a typical lush blooming rose.
Almost all of the full bottles I’ve thunked the past few years have been those I’ve used as bathroom fresheners. And I agree that a thunk is a thunk. 😉
Narciso (White Cube). I can just barely detect rose, and if I did not know it was there, I probably would not notice.
You smell wonderful in White Cube.
I love White Cube — you smell lovely!
I’m wearing Tabu, which works for the community project as it has a rose in it somewhere but if anyone could pick it out of this thick spicy brew I’d be impressed.
I need to get out my bottle of Tabu for the cold weather. You are smelling wonderful today!
Thank you for the reminder about Tabu! I have my aunt’s old bottle and it has held up amazingly well.
I don’t think I’ve ever smelled a bottle of Tabu that has gone off. It may be indestructible.
Used to see bottles of Tabu almost everywhere.
Not a fan of rose-centric scents so I’ll probably skip this weeks CP. Wearing instead some comforting CSP Banane Vanille so I smell like banana Runts, and I’m fine with that. It’s fun. (Said in the most morose tone ever!😜) I have no words about that teapot purse…
Continuing to read Coyote America, which had been very interesting, especially their population of, and migration to the eastern US. As I was driving here (meaning around the first of the year), I passed a road sign upon which some stellar human hung a dead coyote by its back right leg. Sort of a semi-crucifixion. I can only hope it was dead before they nailed it there. Anyway, that’s pretty indicative of what people around here think of coyotes. And even more interesting is that the way people pronounce the word is a tell for how they feel about the animal itself. And the animal, like everything else, has become so politicized that grown a$$ men will throw down and come to blows over it. People are nucking futs. I have a healthy respect for them, and though I have some hippie tendencies, I know when a wild animal has the ability to rip out my throat or make off with my Baby T-Rex to savor with lip smacking enjoyment at some hidden spot in the desert. I have come to the conclusion doggo will never be off leash here. Bear spray is our friend. I love to see wild animals, in the wild and not in a zoo, but I never mistake them for lap dogs or friendly kitties. Nevertheless, I hate when stupid cruel people have the upper hand over any kind of animal, wild or domestic.
One of the more interesting concepts in the book is that we especially hate coyotes because they mirror the human ability to adapt, by devious, tricky behaviors, all the while mocking us as they continue to expand territory, right into our back yards. The unending campaign to eradicate them by any means necessary has failed, so essentially they have out-tricked the trickiest bipedal. No wonder native cultures admired them so.
Maybe I need a coyote perfume..?🐺
Such an intriguing analysis of coyote behavior Deva!
I often see coyotes on my walks. I go my way and they go theirs.
Yep, they’re not interested in us. I’ve had a few close and distant encounters where I knew they had a pointed interest, not in me, but in doggo. Most recently when I was looking uphill at some petroglyphs in a volcanic escarpment only to luckily see a flutter of light colored fur. It caught my eye, turned out to be an ear, and as I continued to look, a healthy sized head slowly appeared from behind some basalt boulders, then slowly disappeared. While I kept my eye on that area for a good ten minutes, I never saw it again. Pretty sure it was following along with an eye on doggo. But, while not heavily trafficked, the trail had an occasional human other than me, so no bold moves from Mr Coyote. But to look into the eyes of a wild animal, read what’s there, is always thrilling to me.
Very thrilling. I think this is why I keep visiting the Serengeti. Understanding what happens when one animal is extinct from the ecosystem is sobering.
But yes, keep those eyes on T-Rex.
The whole point of this CP is that you wear non-rose-centric perfumes (background-rose? can’t-really-notice-rose?)!
“One of the more interesting concepts in the book is that we especially hate coyotes because they mirror the human ability to adapt, by devious, tricky behaviors, all the while mocking us as they continue to expand territory, right into our back yards.” Sounds about right!
I have a couple of non-rose rose perfumes that I will probably wear sometime this week. One being Tauer’s Un Rose de Kandahar, which I especially love. ❤️ And thanks for the CP clarification. Obviously, I didn’t read the entire thing, having stopped at “rose.” 🙃
Same here.
Maybe grab that one tomorrow, such a beauty.
The year we had so many bears on the island our cabin occupies that people were calling the MNR to complain (like a tenant calling the landlord about rats), I called the MNR also, to ask what I could do in aid of the bears. He said the kindest thing I could do for them was to make any encounter with a human as scary as possible: throw a rock if you’ve got a good arm (I don’t) or make a terrifying noise. A bear (and probably any large predator) without a healthy fear of humans and their habitations is likely to be dead sooner rather than later. So, I beat on a metal pan with a metal spoon and bellowed at the next bear who came loping into the clearing and it turned on its heel and fled in horror. It broke my heart a little because I would have enjoyed observing it, but there we are. I scare bears, I am terrifying.
Absolutely agree! The kindest thing you can do for wild animals is to scare them, thus potentially saving their life down the road. A while back I was reading Lewis and Clark’s journals and was astounded at their daily wildlife encounters, especially bears, many of them, as described, must have been grizzlies…🐻
Ours are fortunately “just” black bears. Later events proved to me that even a moderately scolding tone was enough to frighten away the yearling cub who had just knocked my porch plant over. I hope I don’t sound that scary to people….

A recent article about dingo- human interactions which will resonate with you (I.e humans not respecting wild animals : taking selfies, crowding, feeding etc. etc.)
The same type of situation here. Most interactions with wild animals that lead to human injury or death are driven by human stupidity. We see it every year in parks with large mammals such as bison and elk. I carry bear spray most of the time when in wilderness areas, although honestly it’s more for human predators. People have become so disengaged from nature they have lost critical judgement regarding the potential for injury or death. I was once on a hike in Yellowstone in winter with a group and we had to pass by a herd of bison. Led by a wildlife biologist, he poo-poo’d me when I feebly suggested we pass at a greater distance. One great thing about the rise of cell phones is that people who harass wildlife or destroy artifacts on public lands are getting caught and fined, being banned or possibly even getting jail time.
That is a great book Deva!!! I love how it mixes history, zoology, myth, anecdote, evolution, and changing attitudes toward them over the centuries. The book also explains that they reproduce more when they are threatened. The epigenetics are very interesting. I admire how adaptable they are. We live around tons of ‘yotes as we call them chez nous because the dog goes crazy if we even say the whole word. We see them and hear them every day as we are in a residential neighborhood that abuts some local hills and their eerie banshee screaming is both beautiful and spooky. We had one sleeping in my neighbor’s planter and our street named him “Fred.’ Poor guy was a singleton and couldn’t find a pack. We lost a cat to them when we first moved in because we didn’t realize they were out all day as well as night which was terrible but also our fault, co-existence is important, it’s their land too. I am very sad at the cruelty humans display to them and all wild animals.
Quite a few people here call them ‘yotes as well.
I remember seeing one trotting next to a runway at the Denver airport in broad daylight ages ago.
So you might like Lush Bananaaa Shower Cream…to my nose, it is the same banana candy smell as the CSP, plus coconut. It has some detractors in the reviews but I am loving my little travel size.
Ooh did you get anything else from Lush recently, Robin?
Yes, got small bottles of Sunrise and Cherry Pop, and the posh choc gift set (shower gel, lotion and a caramel massage bar).
Nice haul! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Sunrise and Cherry Pop when you smell them/use them.
I might actually write a review, who knows! But will be sure to report back.
claiming points for the hidden rose in Theo Fennel, i smell lily and a whole bunch of floeers, but rose???
still makes a glamorous scent for the office, even if i dont look like it
It’s best if your perfume is the most glamorous of the two of you 🙂
CP points for TF Noir de Noir. At least I am unable to smell the rose but maybe a better nose than mine can find it!
Points.
I find that rose is often overpowered in heavy rose-oud scents like this one. I can smell rose from the bottle and in the opening, but then oud and other dark notes take over.
Noir de Noir is SO cozy!
You decided against Comete today.
I did. But it will be sprayed sometime this week for sure. It was just soooo cold this morning!
Just wearing whatever rose my hand lands on this week.
And today that is Rose 31 lotion and fragrance. mmmmmmmmmmm.
Oh yum!
I’m wearing Le Galion Bourrasque, which is a light amber and also has a rose note. Most things seem to have rose somewhere.
Yes they do! No excuses this week 🙂
Going quite full rose today in Calligraphy Rose. I’m starting to get anxious about wearing all my cold-weather fragrances before it warms up, not that it’s at all sunny or warm here today!
I didn’t get a chance to comment on the reading poll this past weekend (not much to report on my end), but want to say that I noted down many of the mentions and yesterday I checked out The Gift of the Rain.
Funny, I thought the same thing about my cold weather perfumes. There are quite a few I haven’t worn this season. I probably have about 3 more months of cold weather though.
Also Calligraphy Rose is beautiful.
What’s on your list of must-wears? I have Jungle l’Elephant very high on my list, as well as ambers in general, and some heavier Lutens.
Yes mostly Amber’s. I have 2 Mugler Majesties collection and a tobacco one. Also Angel and Killians Angel Share. Lutens Cedre which is honey and tuberose. All very heavy and I have really been gravitating towards light florals.
Such a bummer that the Calligraphy series got discontinued.
Yes, I’ve got the same feelings about my cold weather perfumes. Did I actually wear Kenzo Jungle L’Elephant this winter? I need to do it soon!
Still going through my Scentrique sample pack for the month, and am non-CP compliant in Phaedon Oriental Mint. (It says it has “rose geranium”, does that count? 🙂 ) I’m kind of wishing I’d reached for something else, not because I dislike this perfume but because I didn’t realize it was going to be a tenacious fougère, and I’m not in the mood for that today. The top notes were interesting, with the mint and the fougère together, but now it’s just a straight-up fougère and I’d rather be in something with a hint of rose. 🙂 But, this is probably one of the better scents in this month’s pack.
Still dealing with unusual (for us) cold and snow. All the parents on the school WhatsApp have been in a tizzy because all the private schools and universities are closed while the public schools are still in session and they don’t want to drive to school. The roads have been fine, though.
In Reddit-speak, those parents are entitled.
Sheesh. Reddit might also say those parents are weenies.
One of the moms finally pointed out that the public schools try harder to stay open, especially as there are kids that rely on the schools as a regular source of food. And also that parents of elementary kids who work rely on their kids being in school. Yep. Agree 100%.
(The parents work, not the elementary kids…poor construction there…)
Not doing the CP today. I haven’t worn Shalimar MI for a while so went with that. Love my irises!
Shalimar is always a good idea
A happy-making perfume is a good way to cope with the cold and gloomy depths of February.
Shalimar MI is always a good idea!
SOTD = Guerlain Santal Pao Rosa
So wonderful with a full on rose 🌹! ❤️

I did not post anything over the weekend so here’s my catch-up post:
https://www.instagram.com/p/DFqmdMcRwZ0/?igsh=MXhtMGtxZ284cXQ3cA==
In other news, I have to renew my driver’s license to RealID. I realize that some states have already done so but NJ is so slow. I have to make sure I have all the required documents. I also have to make an appointment which I’ve been told is a more civilized way to do things so I am all for it. Regarding the documents, it seems that I can use some twice but since I am not certain, I will make sure to bring “extra” because I don’t want to have to go back!
I’m curious as to what “documents” you have to have? I have a Florida DL and one year, maybe a couple years ago now, I renewed it online and the replacement had the RealID star. I don’t remember having to furnish any additional documents…
Some states have RealID licenses as the default.
New Jersey does not. They allow people a choice between a “regular” license and RealID. The regular license requires less documentation and can’t be used to board flights or access government facilities.
That’s what PA does…took me two trips to get my RealID because they did not like my paperwork the first time.
Yuck!
In California you need 2 official bills with your current name and address like a property tax bill and a DWAP bill. Certified Copy of Birth Certificate. All documentation related to name change, including court proceedings, marriage certificates (certified copy, no photocopies).
I definitely didn’t produce a birth certificate to get my RealID. I recollect having to bring two things, one was likely my passport. This was CA within the last 2 years.
If you had your passport, then the government had your birth certificate already to issue that.
Last time I renewed they gave me the option. Since I never go anywhere I just got the regular license.
The DMV in Colorado requires appointments for license renewal. This is something that happened due to COVID, since my brother said he didn’t have to make an appointment the last time he renewed.
Good luck getting all your documents together!
PS. Santal Pao Rosa is freaking gorgeous!
I think I brought a whole file folder of papers I thought I might need, but didn’t. Still, like you, I didn’t want to have to go back! Good idea to get it done.
I am wearing Angels’ Share today. Saw both the dentist and the arm rehab therapist today. I am ready for a nap but I am afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I take one.
Hope the dentist had good news for you! 😁
Still to soon to tell if the nerves are alive, but he took off the clunky ED splint and made a smaller, more comfortable, less noticeable one.
Oh geez, I’m so sorry you have to go through this! Are you able to eat okay, or are you stuck with soft/mashed/puréed foods? A good time for protein shakes, I would imagine…
I have eaten a lot of soup. Also scrambled eggs and grilled cheese. But some food angels sent dumplings, gumbo, shrimp & grits, and other soft deliciousness this week. It tasted so good!
Yay for food angels!
No fun. Hang in!
You had a pretty grueling day, I hope you get some restorative sleep tonight.
Yesterday I accidentally got CP points with Confessions of a Garden Gnome: after reading the CP, I sniffed myself and went, “Wait a minute…”
I don’t think I have the best nose for picking up individual notes, particularly non-dominant ones, so was pleased with myself.
This morning also got CP points for Le Parfum de Therese. I don’t have a lot of florals in my collection, but love that one.
Just took a shower before heading out to dinner with a friend from out of town. Haven’t seen her since last spring. Will add another CP-compliant scent (made a list last night), not sure which yet.
We’re going to a dinner at a slightly bougie restaurant I’ve never tried before. All dining seems expensive these days, even casual places, so I hope it’s good.
Enjoy your dinner!
Enjoy catching up with your out-of-town friend!
Gorgeous teapot today, Robin. But OUCH, that price tag!!
Had a catch-up lunch with one of my favorite cousins earlier this afternoon. Traffic was a nuisance, though, with an accident on the highway. (Thankfully, I was not involved, except for being stuck in traffic for a little while.) Seems one particular interchange is a magnet for that kind of stuff. Ain’t that always how it goes? 🤔
SOTD = commando. Was feeling blue this morning, and perfume just didn’t fit.
Sending hugs Jalapeno. I’m glad you got out and visited with your cousin. I hope you are feeling better.
February is a rough month for me. Getting out to visit with my cousin was something that really helped my mood today.
Sorry you’re feeling blue! Maybe that could be a CP: fragrances that chase out blues away??? Any case, hope tomorrow you find a scent you are basking and basking in!
We shall see when the perfume calls me back…
I think that’s a great idea for a CP!
Thank you MissGoldsmith! I think of it as “break case then bask and bask in case of the blues.”
Sorry you are having the blues today. February is a hard month for me too. My dad died 30 years ago today and in four days it will be four years since my mom died. Even though I don’t get overly sad, I still think about them during those days. Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs to you too Kris.
Thank you!
Hugs Kris. Those anniversaries are difficult.
Thanks and you are right, they can be difficult.
Kris, hugs to you! May your memories of your parents be a blessing!
I was an only child with wonderful parents so have many good memories.
Big fragrant hugs to you and the many good memories of your wonderful parents Kris!
February is a hard month. It just is. I try to price this in every year, and every year I am surprised. And I don’t even have a good reason for it, it just is.
I think T.S. Eliot had it wrong when he said that April is the cruelest month.
Sorry Jalapeno. I hate February in general.
Thank you Robin.
February is brutal, big hugs all around.
Thanks ringthing.
My Sotd is Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid. I have a hard time smelling it so I sprayed about 10 times. Lol.
In the what stupid people steal news… someone stole 7 fabrezze plug ins today. How bad does your house have to smell to do that? Honestly lol.
Between you and my brother, I get a lot of entertaining (and sometimes cringey) stories about working in retail.
Got a grocery strike happening here in Colorado later on this week.
Oh no! I hope you can stock up beforehand.
A strike hasn’t been called for where I live. So I’m good. But a lot of stores to the south of me are going to have picketers for 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of idiots out there. It is amazing some of the things people say and do. Sometimes you just need to laugh and go on.
I’ve been in the idiot category more than I like to admit. Good thing I can laugh at myself! 😂
I’m pretty sure I have been too😂
I derp, therefore I am.
Thanks. I was an only child and had wonderful parents so many good memories.
Oops. That was supposed to be in answer to Leslie under Jalapeno.
