…I’d probably blog about nutrition or perfume.

Both are funny to me because they are so different. Nutrition because of the whole gluten-free living thing. I’ve learned quite a bit and although I am not eating a clean diet 100% of the time, I try my best to make good choices. I’d say about 80% of the time, I am eating green leafy things with “good-for-you” protein. I guess the other 20% can still screw you up because lately, I am a mess! Cross-contamination is a problem these days when I eat out so I’ve been eating at home more (which is boring as hell).

As for the perfume… I LOVE perfume. I love looking for it, buying it, sharing it and apparently returning it because now that I’ve gone gluten-free none of the perfumes I liked before, like me. This is disappointing because I need the little pick-me-up mid-afternoon and scent (good ones) do that for me. Right now I am inhaling  The Body’s Shop’s Satsuma line but I’m sure that will go south for me soon. Oh, and of course I prefer the pricier perfumes but when they end up smelling like old socks or bug spray, I can’t justify spending my hard earned dollars on a name. I need one of those fancy perfume shops to customize something for me.

What’s your favorite scent? Doesn’t have to be perfume or cologne. I happen to love Nivea creme and so far, it loves me back. Any scent that makes you happy. I’d be interested in hearing about it.

Other than this ramble of a post, not much else is going on. Back-to-school shopping has begun. I have to tackle it in small chunks because of the cost but also because I just can’t take the fitting room meltdowns from #2. Good grief! She isn’t even a teen yet. The Boy made cross country so that’s good. My hand (so many of you have asked, thank you) is not getting better. I will be seeing a specialist soon. Oh, and no summer vacation for us this year which is a huge downer for me. Last weekend I was very depressed over it but this week, I am better. It just doesn’t seem like summer without a vacation.

On the reading front, I am reading Shine Shine Shine and loving it and I managed to get a library copy of Gone Girl even though I was like 247 on the wait list. Everyone keeps telling me it will blow my mind. I can’t wait!
