Fall Breaking

Today I had pancakes and hot chocolate for breakfast, lounged in Jess's room looking at pictures of Seattle, went downtown with Leah and Stina and smelled nice-smelling things, and generally lazed around. It was warm out and the leaves are changing, but not yet falling.
Here are some of the scents you can get at Essentials:

• grass
• wet garden
• ocean
• thunderstorm
• laundromat
• dirt
• mango
• tomato
• condensed milk
• rain
• mulled cider
• martini
• ginger ale
• string bean
• basil
  

You wouldn't think a bottle of the smell of dirt would smell nearly as nice as it does. Still, I don't know that I would want it for a perfume- it really does smell like dirt.

Tomorrow we're off to Manchester for our fall break adventure. Yesterday Leah was giving a tour to some people from New Hampshire and she mentioned that we were planning to visit Manchester.
"Why?"
"Just... you know. For fun."
"Oh. Well... I guess you can make your own fun."

Fortunately we never seem to have trouble with that.

P.S.- Mad props to my dad, who is totally running the Chicago Marathon this weekend. As for me, I'm gonna walk before they make me run.
