Just a shirt....

I know my posts aren't on the exciting side right now because.....life isn't too exciting. Yesterday I decided to do laundry. I grabbed really quick a pair of shorts and a shirt that I knew weren't dirty, but weren't something that needed to be washed right away either if I got them dirty. I put on the shorts and then I put on Derek's shirt. It was on the ground when I picked it up and thought maybe I didn't put it away from the last time I did laundry. I pulled the shirt over my head and boom it hit me...... I could smell him! I loved it! As gross as this sounds it was a dirty shirt.....for how long I didn't know. All I knew is it smelt like Derek and I loved it! So yes I went through out the day smelling that shirt and finally before bed I had to tell him about the shirt. He said "yeah I wore that shirt when I was there a couple of weeks ago". Please don't judge me on a dirty shirt sitting on my bedroom floor for two weeks, but what a sweet gift to have as Derek is away. Derek told me a story about high school a long time ago and I have always been jealous of that story, because I think to myself if it was reversed would I have noticed. And from this experience I think I would....

I guess I should just tell Derek's story so it makes sense.....
In high school Derek went to Lancaster High and I went to Quartz Hill high. One day while Derek was at school he was walking in the hall during class for some reason and he said he smelt my perfume. Then he thought no it can't be she is not at my school. Then he walked around the corner and there I was. I had gone to his school for a Student Body Roadshow and had no clue I was going to be there. It was a surprise to us both and I love that he was able to know right away that it was me even though it shouldn't have been.

The sad part is that perfume was my FAVORITE! I loved it and I would wear it all the time. It was from Bath and Body works and came in a very thin glass bottle. It was called imagine Peace, Love and Happiness. 3 difference scents and mine was Love. Oh how I wish I could get a new bottle. I have tried looking EVERYWHERE and it looks like I can get a bottle of it from ebay for $300.00! Not to mention it is going to be an old bottle. But the funny thing is I have my old bottle of it so I can smell it every once in awhile to remind my of my high school sweethearts days with my wonderful husband. In my bottle of perfume I have very little left for special occasions. Yes I wore it on my wedding day!

I love senses! I love the sense of smell and how in one moment it can take you back to a place you haven't been in close to 10 yrs!
