Smell Ya Later

I came home from work today later than normal.  I clocked out at the regular time, but found myself lingering away my "wind down" time in the fish bowl talking to the gals.  The fish bowl is the glass encased registration booth.  I'm not sure if it's bullet proof or not, although the glass is a new addition.  It used to be just an open desk.  So, i guess now if someone walks in and shoots at you, you'll have to deal with shards of glass in your eye too!  But, I digress.  So, as the sun is rising in the east, I decided to get some groceries on the way home.  I was the only one there, but what a treat- freshly delivered bread from essential baking company.  So I picked up a loaf of Rosemary Diamante bread and some other essentials and headed home.  I park, grab my bag and head in.  (This is where the best part happens).  I step in the elevator and a wonderful smell makes my heart bloom.  I was totally aware and enveloped in a scent that grabbed me.  It was a gorgeous blend of morning coffee and men's cologne.  It was the kind of smell that if you take too deep a breath, you almost lose it.  Not an overwhelming smell of either, but a perfectly matched aroma that sparked a longing and a smile.    Immediately I thought "This is what i want my husband to smell like."  It's a husband smell.   I like to think that the man belonging to the fragrance was wearing a tie and was tall with an average build, but more on the meaty side/not waify.  He's normal and good looking, but not in a jerky sort of way.  I want to meet him.  Oh, what a smell.

  1. There's a UW resident there whose name is Christian. He's very friendly and parks across from your spot, maybe to the left one or two. Keep an eye out- I always wished I could have gotten him to open up a bit more, seems like a genuinely nice guy. Ask him to boba one night and tell him I say hi!
