1.)  What's your favorite scent/smell?  Roses ( especially old ones ) , jasmine , lemon verbena , a thyme lawn underfoot , tuberose , gardenia .... oh  and cut grass.   

I wear a perfume called DIRT ... its  totally natural from whole foods  and smells like .. well, great  compost .  Just in case  I didnt have a natural whiff of eau de manua about me lol !! 

One of the things  guys always remark on about me are my horrible straggly nailed oft- stained garderner's hands ... and  what a contrast that is with  the  luxe clothes and sometime furs and jewels ... some  guys think its HOT ..some guys think  its GROSS  lol ...  . Personally  , I
d rather have a happy creative woman that WORKS .... rather than one who guards her manicure lol .

2.)  Victories/struggles this week?   carby  carby ....  i had a hardtime  exercising  ,  not eating bread  ... .  The victory is  I'm getting through the drama  rama  it AND standing up 4 myself  that s  gotta mean SOMETHING  .

3 - weekend plans?  my 2 grandsons (3 & 5) will be spending the weekend....lots and lots of hugs and kisses!!

1.  favorite scent - horse of course

2.  victories/struggles - several weird days to plan around but they turned out ok.  Victories - I have had some kind of exercise each day.  Woo Hoo.

3.  fancy baby shower at the Biltmore estate Inn on Sat (would rather be driving my pony on the grounds instead of sitting in a baby shower).  Working at a horse show on Sunday for a friend.
Getting the plants in the beds sometime over the weekend.  Spending a few hours with my DD when she gets home from the beach on Sat night til Sun am when I take her to the plane.

1.)  What's your favorite scent/smell? -
I love my Vera Wang perfume - my new favorite scent!!!

2.)  Victories/struggles this week? -
My Victory - I hit the 6 week mark and I'm finally getting the hang of things - Especially my vitamins!!!  Yay!

Struggles - Stuck at 183 for about 5 days I believe and getting in my exercise seems to be a challenge.  I just cannot seem to get motivated.  I'm definitely not sedentary but with 4 kids and a house to always clean...I haven't been able to make exercise a priority. AGH!!!

3.)  Weekend plans? -
Today my oldest has a half day of school and my kindergartner is off so we are headed to a friends house for a play date!  My hubby is in the field this weekend ****il Sunday) so we will probably just clean tomorrow and hang out on Sunday until he gets home. 

1.)  What's your favorite scent/smell?  I can't stand anything that is strong.  I like the very mild smell of cinnamon or vanilla.

2.)  Victories/struggles this week?  I have done good more days than bad - that's a victory for me right now!!  I would still like to drop a few more pounds just to have more bounceback room.  Cake at work is a struggle. 

3.)  Weekend plans?  Church workshop tonight and tomorrow morning.  DGD#2 is coming to spend the night Saturday night.  Sunday afternoon may go to Sam's to pick up some things I'm running out of.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Favorite scent/smell - too many!  I love northern Wisconsin: lake, pine trees, dirt... and I also love major airports: all the fuel and smog.  I love lilacs under a bedroom window in spring, and a pile of leaves in fall.  I love the scent of a perfume bottle I received from my grandmother's estate... 20 years later it still smells like here and all the fun we had (I truly believe she must have been the inspiration for Mame Dennis of the Auntie Mame movie with Rosalind Russell), and Shalimar when I feel exotic and Coach Poppy when I feel goofy and young, and Jovan's Musk Oil takes me back to my high school days, as does English Leather on a man.  And at the moment - I'll follow the scent of toast ANYWHERE!  Do I really have to choose?

Victories/struggles this week - they're the same.  I've been trying to stabilize/put on a couple pounds and haven't been able to.  Suddenly in 3 days I've put on 3 pounds.  I know I haven't, but so far lots of Miralax hasn't unstoppered me.  So it's a victory to have put on a bit, but a struggle because it can't stay, but it won't leave!

Weekend plans - more gym!  Housework as usual... and I've been playing with Nik's individual cheesecake recipe and Linda Farnsworth Harris' 35 second cakes.  Both need more tweaking, so we'll see how that goes.

Good morning, gang! 

1.)  What's your favorite scent/smell?  babies' heads... baby magic and all!   I also love to smell the wind on a fall day --- the leaves and grass....

2.)  Victories/struggles this week?  my Dad is still in the hospital -- GI said it is diverticulitis.  still on clear liquids since Tues when he came in at midnight.. thinks he is starving.   Did find out his AC1 is 9.1 and creatnin is 1.4 so they are switching from glucophage to another diabetes drug.  More labs today and hopefully he can eat and come home soon..

Got a call from surgeon's secretary yesterday to schedule pre-op appt --- I go 3/28... definite victory!.

3.)  Weekend plans?  going home tonight, haircut tomorrow and back to Dad's tomorrow night with the whole gang in tow.   Nothing too exciting!

1.)  What's your favorite scent/smell?  I get headaches from perfume and candles but I love to smell
                                                              roses and fresh cut grass

2.)  Victories/struggles this week?      My tummys been sensitive so I've been eating way to many
                                                             carbs so I'm hoping that after my gall bladder comes out things
                                                             will get back to normal

3.)  Weekend plans?                            Cleaning and spending time with DH, DD's and grandbabies
                                                             It's nice to have a whole weekend at home!!!!!

1) My dad's Aqua Velva, Yankee Candle Christmas Eve candle scent, Bath and Body Works Sensual Amber scent, fresh cut grass and hay and fresh baked bread.
