It's me, Charity

I'm still not entirely sure how this happened, but by some chance I was invited by Bath and Body works to test out four new scents they are thinking about carrying. I was pretty excited when my box arrived holding these 4 vials! I was less excited when I saw the 40 page diary that I had to fill out everyday. We weren't supposed to smell them before wearing them so I had no clue what each of them was like. The first day I sniffed bottle #1 and thought it smelled promising. Upon spraying it on myself I suddenly realized that I smelled like a musty old house that someone had died in and never been found. Yummy. Bottle #2 I had the stupidity to spray right before a lesson. I then had to apologize to my student, her Mom and sisters for how horrible I smelled. When you literally gag upon smelling yourself it is NOT a good sign.  Disgusting. I wasn't holding out much hope for Bottle #3 and #4 and thankfully grew enough brains to test them when I wasn'

As many of you know, I live in Indiana. And we have crazy weather here. One only needs to think about the massive blizzard we had back at the end of March to prove that point. So despite it being the middle of November and having snow on the ground a few days previous, we had a batch of severe weather and tornadoes yesterday afternoon. I normally do not get too worried over a tornado. Living in Indiana I've grown up with them. But yesterday's events were looking to be rather severe, so I grabbed my emergency bag, some pillows, my fan (it was in the 70's!) and of course my laptop, cell phone, and a magazine.

Extra under wears! My back up supply of contacts. A small con

 Ok so this was two weeks ago, but I made these SUPER yummy Sugar Cookie Bars. Well they were supposed to be bars and I put them into my individual brownie pan, because I love corner pieces. They turned out so so yummy!  Sitting at the bank. Sometimes it takes so long I wonder if they are being robbed and held hostage inside.  I missed a week of The Journey Home so I was thankful to be able to watch it on my tv! I don't know that I've ever taken so many notes during a church service as those 7 weeks!  Last week I was coming home and stopped at a red light and what do I see in front of me? The Boilermaker Special. Just driving around town. It was rather odd considering I don't live near Campus.....?  Best.Idea. Ever. One of my students gets incentives for practicing/ect and he "won" these light up fingers last week. I need to get some for myself. They were genius! And SO fun!!  Best.Day.EVER!! I do not regret giving up cable and live tv one b
