Top Ten Best Smells

10. The exam room at work right after it has been cleaned.
At work, it seems like everything always smells of dog, or worse, dog poop. Whenever I go into the exam room to clean up when the day is done, I enjoy the smell of the odor eaters and the floor cleaners working together and creating a joyful cleanly smell.

9. Coconut
I love the smell of coconut because it reminds me of the beach.

8. Baking Cookies
I love the smell of cookies baking, especially in the winter when it is really cold and nasty. The smell of cookies seems to just warm the entire house.

7. Pancakes
Every once in a while, we have a rare morning where my parents bake pancakes. I love waking up to the smell of pancakes in the morning.

6. Lilacs
In the spring time, the lilacs bloom every year. I love the smell because it fills the entire yard. If we have the windows open, we can smell them from inside.
5.The inside of my jewelry box
yeah, I know it sounds weird, but read on. It used to belong to my grandmother, who died about eight years ago. Somehow, it still smells like her perfume.

4. Horses
I used to go horseback riding every once in a while, and I loved it. Unfortunatly, neither me or my family has enough money to pay for me to ride all the time, so I haven't gone in years. I still love to smell the horse farms near my house as I drive by.

3. Black Raspberry Pie
In the summer, we pick black raspberries. They are different than black berries. They have less seeds, and they taste better. Anyways, my sister is really good at baking pie, and not only did it smell got, it tastes wonderful.

2. Potato Soup
In the winter, my mom makes a potato soup recipe she got from my grandmother before she died. It is the best potato soup in the world. Just the smell makes me drool.



1. My most favorite smell: The First time you open your window in spring
I seriously wish you could bottle this stuff, but you truly cannot. I think the smell of springtime, is like a finaly release from winter. The air seems to be telling you that winter is over and life won't be so hard anymore.

My life be a MOOVIE

I would be cast as Kat Dennings. My dad would be cast as Ron Howard. My mom would be Debra Jo Rupp. My sister would be Claire Danes. My brother would be Emile Hirsh.


the plot:


Something involving a lot of cats.
I have 11 of them....

I think there would be alot of litte short stories in it about me working at the animal hospital. Then some band stories, so I would need some more actors to play everybody in band. And then even more for next year because I'll be at Eastern.

There would be interesting conflicts involving my brother because he gets in trouble a lot.

And then about me going to my sister's wedding.

It's hard to write a movie about my life when I'm only 17...

Men

hmmm. I think if I were to meet the perfect guy, I think he would either be Egyptian or Indian. If he is Indian, I want him to be Hindu because I find the religion fastinating. He wouldn't be fat, though I'd allow lack of a six pack. The way he gets in shape has to be through hard work. Maybe he works on a farm or something. I think his name would be Maniram which means Jewel of a Person. He would definitly be taller than me. He would be very good at working with all animals and we would have a lot of pets. He would also have an appreciation of literature. Of course his hair color would be black, and dark eyes. We would have to be able to make eachother laugh, and also have serious conversations about stuff.

A Letter of Apology

Dear Romeo,
I'm sorry I cut off your testicles. I just had to do it, it was for the greater good. Now, you'll be calmer, and live longer. I'll never have to worry about you getting into fights over girls late at night. Your brother will keep his eye, and your wrist is healing quite nicely. Oh my dear Romeo, you must understand, it is better this way, though I'm sorry I betrayed you. I kidnapped you on a rainy after noon. You were sleeping in the top floor of your apartment. You thought I was just inviting you inside for a cup of milk. I will never forget your betrayed look as your curled up in your cage and I left to find your brother.
Forgive me Romeo, it is all better now. We will no longer have kittens roaming our porch, but I am glad that you will live. Your brother will not attack you with his dagger like claws, and you will not attack him.

Your Loving Owner,

Ashley
