Do I Stink?
I swear, today has been "one of those days". I have been running around doing errands and working in the school library, and I am not looking my best.
I slept late.
I thought I would be OK without a shower since I had one last night, but as I was walking through Sears, I noticed a smell. It was a very faint smell, but a smell none-the-less and it was coming from me.
I was horrified and embarrassed. Could anyone else smell it? I could and that's all that mattered.
So as soon as I got to Walmart to pay off my credit card, I found some mango body spray and liberally sprayed my self, scaring the woman next to me, who gave me a look that accused me of stealing.
"I'm buying it!" was all I said, and I hightailed it to the checkout counter.
Turns out it was my laundry. My shirt had been in the washer this morning, as I forgot to dry the load last night. It must have mildewed slightly, making it give off a slight mildewy smell. Didn't matter. No one else would have known that - they would have just thought I was stinky and had bad hygiene.
Lesson Learned: Never leave wet laundry in the washer overnight.
So if I come across y'all in the store someday and you smell something stinky, I promise...it's the clothes, not me. ;) Now I have to go buy some more laundry detergent and Downy.

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy
A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
