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 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.
