Joy of Iowa pine and a short story.


Ohhhhh... I came across something so delicious at Target yesterday! Mrs. Meyers (Iowa pine scent) cleaner and hand soap. Holy cow people...this smells like an actual Christmas tree! And I do love the smell of pine trees. But since I don't have a real tree, this will have to do. I should get paid for this endorsement!

Anyway, I am jonsing on my pine smell and getting into the holiday spirit. And I just received this pretty little center piece today and it just made me so happy.




I also just finished writing a short story (it's not at all holidayish...but if you want to read it (give yourself at least 15 minutes) go here. I don't know what the heck came over me to do something like this...as I would not consider myself a writer. Anyway, I would love your thoughts...it's more along the lines of a "chick lit" romance. Oh well, it's all just fun...and escaping reality for a few minutes during this time is always a good thing.  And I think it's pretty entertaining.

So...now I am off to wash my hands with more Iowa pine!

Happy happy joy joy!  Have a beautiful weekend!

I loved your story, Caroline!!

Lucky me, I decided to read just a bit before I left for Target :) Will be back (with pine smelling soap) shortly and will read later :)

I will check out the story - and I love Meyer's stuff.

I'm headed to Target tomorrow and I'll check this out. I love, love, love your blog colors and design. The photography is WONDERFUL!!!

Great story Caroline! I like the flow of the sentences. It moves along nicely. Keep writing!

Keep writing..I was interested and wanted more to read...go girl..

Thanks for the comments on the story.

i can't read your story now, but i need to remember to come back to it! i am sure it is fab!

and hope you have a super weekend. :)

I will have to look for it at Target! I'm going over to read your story now. :)

Smells divine. Writing or not, it sounds like you had fun just writing it.

Mmmmmmmm. I think I'm gonna have to hit up Target! Since we fake tree it up...there's a shocking lack of Christmas tree smell in our house.

Never heard of Meyers Pine... maybe they have a lotion, too, so you can repair your hands after all the hand-washing? (I'm actually a bit OCD with hand-washing, so I'll have to pay Target a visit soon.

Can't wait to read the story....

target is calling my name right now...

your story will have to wait until I get back....
cause I want to smell all pine like, too !

That must be a new scent of theirs. I'm hooked on the lemon verbena..but can't wait to try this. Wonderful image!!

I just read part one of your story and I loved it.

I'll have to try Mrs. Meyers pine cleaner and soap. I love the smell of Christmas trees too.

Great post.

Your story has me totally hooked! I'll have to read part two after I get some things done around here. Looking forward to it, Caroline, you delicious writer, you!

Thanks for the tip on the pine scented cleaner and soap! I'm allergic so I can't put up a tree but I love the scent.
