jennythereaderBody: Still sick. In fact, I decided to stay home from work today in hopes that it would give me a chance to recover completely. The weekend was fun but it didn't give me much of a chance to relax and get better.
Reading: I'm still working on The Kalevala: Or Poems of the Kaleva District
. Where the first two-thirds were mostly stand alone legends, the last third seems to be a series of connected tales, so it's going a lot faster. I expect to finish it today, or tomorrow at the latest.
Hearing: Blessed silence, other than the cats meowing outside the closed office door.
Wearing: At this exact moment, I'm still in my bathrobe. After my shower I'll be in jeans and a t-shirt
Etsy find: Battered Heart Earrings
Project Follow-up: We got moving fairly quickly, and were at Wicked Faire early enough to actually do stuff Friday night. The weekend was a ton of fun.
Tonight's Project: Probably nothing more complicated than some Sims.
Randomness: What are your favorite scents, whether for candles/air fresheners, wearing yourself, or smelling on other people? Personally, I don't really care what other people wear, as long as it isn't so strong that I can track them by smell. For environmental scents I like spicy dessert smells, like apple pie or gingerbread. For myself I like sweet and/or spicy dessert smells, especially if they have a vanilla note, and realistic floral scents, especially roses. Realistic fruity scents are also nice.

I have a tendency to assign scents and songs to people in my mind.
Environmentally, adding scent to the air is touch and go for me. I hate incense. The smoke is cloying and it's hard to breathe. K loves the stuff and tends to burn it a lot when I am at Pennsic!
On the other hand there are several scents I like in the air, like nutmeg, lavender again and other spices.

I don't mind it on other people unless they wear it at that strength. The only way I can stand wearing it myself is if it's a very minor element in a blend that is otherwise made up of notes I love.
I'm not sure I've ever smelled Bay Rum.
