things

I'm 35 years old, closing in on 36. I married a younger man (I *think* he's 32). My husband and I have been together 8 years but just got married in July 2008. We have two dogs who are probably the loves of my life. I clean a lot, eat a lot, complain a lot and like to take long walks preferably on a beach, except that we live in Arizona and the closest beach is hours away.

LOVES/LIKES

smells good

A few months ago we bought the super size double pack of dryer sheets from Costco, their brand.   They smelled really good, but the smell was over powering.  The car we brought them home in smelled for days.  We kept the unopened box out in the garage and our garage smelled very strongly of dryer sheets.  Which is not as nice as it sounds.   After a few days either we got used to the smell or it started fading on its own.    Either way, it became tolerable and I forgot all about them.

Until a few days ago when we needed a new box of sandwich bags in the kitchen.  Also from Costco, so a huge box of like a million.    The unopened box of dryer sheets had been placed on top of the sandwich bags.

OF COURSE all of the dryer sheet scent had been sucked right into that box of sandwich bags.   So now I have sandwich bags that not only smell good they make your food taste and smell like  dryer sheets.   I felt like I was being poisoned eating cucumbers that smelled and tasted like dryer sheets, but i was at work and starving and just kept eating.    Apparently I wasn’t worried enough about being poisoned to stop eating.

Those sandwich bags went into the trash.

Now that I’ve been talking about them, I can smell the dryer sheets again.

    YUCK! Oh, that’s horrible. I have to buy unscented dryer sheets. I’m allergic to the scented ones!

  • Erin says:

    I think mosquitos hate the smell of dryer sheets, so hopefully the skeeters are staying away! Maybe a silver lining? :)

    Ew, I can imagine how that taste would just take over your entire mouth! I mean, a faint smell on fabric would be nice, wonder why they need to go and make it overpowering, duh!

    What a fun blog you have here. Thank you for visiting me for Friday Follow. I’m following you back now!

  • WE JUST HAD THAT PROBLEM!! I bought dryer sheets from the grocery store that was on clearance. I didn’t know why they were on sale for such a small amount so I bought some. So I also bought rye bread and it was in the same section of my pantry. Today we went to eat the rye bread and lo and behold IT SMELLED LIKE DRYER SHEETS!! Now I know why they were on clearance for like 75% off. I wonder if it was he same brand LOL

    I know I’m late, but I’m following from Tuesday Tag Along! :) I hope you can visit us back and follow as well!!
