smells

I think it is quite funny that not even once while I was baking yummy cookies did my house smell good like cookies.  No, no.  It smells like something nasty!  *gag*  I did make Clam Chowder the first day while I was making cookies, I guess that just ruined it.  Now my house smells funky and I just can't quite get rid of it.  Ew.

Just though you would want to know.  Ha ha!

Did I mention that I really hate having a private blog?  My daily blog reader visits have dropped 80+ percent.  (I got 10 readers on a day that I actually posted, you know a few of them were me! Ha ha)
I can only invite 100 people. (almost there)
There are still people stopping me around town saying, "I can't see your blog".  Then I am bummed.
My worries about having a private blog have passed and things are fine now.

I might change back, or complain about it some more.  Either way. :)

Hope you are having a fabulous WEDNESDAY!

The Funky Smell . . .

is finally GONE!

I am really quite excited about it.  I am still not sure what it was. . . but we pulled everything out of the pantry and pulled out all the paper lining and relined all of them.  I smelled them all and they didn't smell.  But after I got everything out, the smell started to fade.  I walked over the the garbage and it now smelt like the pantry!  I had Dustyn quickly take out the garbage.  It's gone!  Yay!  I am excited I don't have to cringe when I open the door now. 

And . . . I was able to organize my pantry!  And we got one of those cool Food Storage can rotators.  I am really excited about that too!  So now my kitchen can be organized!  And my sweet husband finally lined the drawers and cleaned them out so I can use them now!  (All of my cupboards on the bottom are actually drawers - really dumb!  And they were all falling apart and yucky when we moved in, so I haven't been using them - except for junk)  Now I have so much room in my cupboards and pantry I have no idea what to do with it!  

I love my husband.  (And I am still not feeling the best, so he has done most of it.  I help for awhile, then have to go lay down.  He's such a good man!)

A funky smell . . .

Every so often we get this funky smell in our pantry and down our hallway.  It happened a few months back and I searched and smelled and searched and smelled and took everything out and looked some more.  I never found the culprit.  But the smell went away and I never thought about it again - until a few days ago.  It's back!  I believe this the the third time is has been back.  But it seems like there is a 6 month or so break in between.  Weird.  It is a really strong meaty garlicky smell.  It reminds me of a strong salami smell.  Salami that has been setting out for a day or two.  I have no idea what it is and it is diving me nuts!  I have smelled around and around and can not find the source!  Grrr......  Anyone have any ideas?  :)  Wanna come sniff my pantry?  I would love to lose the smell for good.  I promise I wouldn't mind.  But until then I have stocked up my febreeze air-fresheners and sprayed everything... it still smells!  It is so strong that nothing helps!  Yuck!

What a smelly week!

So Alex made an Emergency trip to Albertson's for some Febreeze... one can later... IT STILL SMELLS! SO NASTY! I won't be hungry for lunch today, that is for sure! Blah!

What a great day at work!

Oh my Gosh!! I am at work and I am about to die of suffocation! YUCK! They are cleaning the water fountain out or something out in the shop and the whole building smells like rotten eggs and sulfur. IT'S NASTY! Oh man! I don't know if I can handle the smell. I think I might have to go home! And it's jut getting worse. It smells worse than the stinkiest stink pot in Yellowstone! Just imagine a smelly steamy stink pot on a nice warm day... it's worse. I am getting nauseous. bleaahhh.. and we can't even open the doors becuase it is worse outside!

I'm turning green! :P

smelly car

The only problem that I have with having the car back is that I remembered how much I hate the B.O. smell it has! YUCK!! It was that way when we bought it, although we didn't notice it because it wasn't hot. When it is warm it is sooo bad. When it's not warm it just has that new car plasticy smell.

Any suggestions? I have no idea where the smell is coming from, I have searched the whole car. I have febreezed the whole car numerous times. I have no idea how to fix it and it is sooo smelly. Good thing it's only warm half of the year!

But I am open to any suggestions anyone might have.

Piute Reservoir

Today (Saturday) Dustyn, Bruce and I went to Piute Reservoir to go fishing. We tried to fish for a little while, but the wind was blowing and so we gave up and basically just hung out. It was nice and relaxing. Bruce kept peeing all over, marking his territory I guess... but man oh man... he left a pile of poop that will make anyone gag... and it was right up wind. So we spent the whole day smelling wonderful Bruce smells. I was quite surprised, when we got to the lake he went to get a drink and basically plunged into the lake. It was pretty funny.... then we had the lovely wet dirty dog smell as well. A day full of smells. But lots of fun.

We took a little camp stove and made potatoes with onions and bacon... and bratwurst with sauerkraut and mustard! YUMMY! Good stuff! Then we just hung out and complained about the smells coming from Bruce (well at least that is what I did).

Here are a few pictures... i was going to take some good ones, but Dustyn forgot that he took the batteries out of the camera bag awhile ago and never replaced them... so at the last minute I remembered that I had my camera phone... but the sun was in my eyes. But they kinda turned out. Dustyn was trying to get Bruce to look at the camera. Not an easy task when you are trying to make a 200 lb animal do anything.
