Have had to text my husband and warn him that I smell like I am having an affair with a 90 year-old woman. This is not what it smells like, honey. I swear.

I didn't want to eat with these hands, but I was hungry. This experience smells like "Here, eat this, what - don't you like it? I made it for you"

I have to hand it to the folks at Chanel. This fragrance STICKS. I only put a little on the tips of a few fingers and now I have to amputate my whole arm.

Unthinkingly tried a free perfume sample today. Now I smell like Older Female Relative at Thanksgiving.

Watching #BarbecueShowdown with the spouse. Being on this show would be my hell. If I’m a real horrible person in this life, I’ll wake up in the Smoke Shack with Melissa Cookson and Kevin Bludso asking me to make them food.

Through forest paths I walked alone The smarter hikers all stayed home While 'neath my tee shirt ticks were creeping I could have stayed home in my bed sleeping And my eyes were assaulted by a cloud of tiny gnats Thanks for that. I believed your label, bug spray.
Hello, bug spray my old friend Why did I bother with you again As I wandered through the heat and damp I drew more bugs than an outdoor lamp And mosquitoes tried to fly into my brain Some remain. They aren't concerned by bug spray

I agree that a room of one's own is important for women who want to #write, but there are days when I would settle for a single uncluttered surface.

It’s polite to answer the door when I’ve been knocking for half an hour when I can SEE YOU HIDING BEHIND THE COUCH, GALE
