No, I am not going to talk about some kind of political scandal. Sport or reality gossip or anything really juicy at all. All though that might be more interesting than the "trash" I have on my mind.
If, you are someone who knows me. Not facebook, twitter or blog know me, but you know the real life me you know I hate trash night. Honestly, hate could be an understatement. I mean come on have you looked at a trash can lately? They stink, they are nasty...I mean really can you imagine how many germs are hanging out on that thing? Oh, & not to mention the thing is as big as me. No, really it is! I'm only 4'11" so, really I could get in and ride in the thing almost in the stand up position. I REALLY can't express how much I HATE taking the trash out, but hey let's face it it has to be done. If, not I would be on the next season of Hoarders on TLC.
Tonight, while taking the trashcan out to the end of the driveway. I know what a glamours picture you have painted in your head ( insert shorts, t-shirt, no make-up and flip flops ). I caught the smell of a scent that took me back to my childhood. No, silly people not the trash, but the smell of honeysuckles. When I was a little girl (under 5) we had honeysuckles in our backyard. I can remember playing on my swing set or in my life size doll house ( yes, this is the doll house my sister tried to set on fire while I was in...blog for another day ) and smelling them as they were growing on the vines against our fence. I would stop playing and go over and pick a few of them and snack on the nectar in them. I will assume since I have made it into my 30's that it wasn't harmful...unless well, maybe I can use that as excuse for some of my blonde moments in life.
I have to say I love moments like this in life where you are in the mist of other things & something takes you back to childhood memories. Maybe as I take the trash out on Tuesday's from now on I will smell the honeysuckles and it will make a nasty chore a little better!
Ok, just for kicks here is what that little honeysuckle eating girl looked like:
That took me back! :) I remember the honeysuckle there, as well as the playhouse!
