Friend Makin' Monday

Before I get into my Friend Makin' portion of the post, I have to mention what happened this morning. As I mentioned in previous posts, over the weekend my husband had the flu. I have been so afraid of catching it, but so far, I am feeling totally fine. So I got up this morning, leaving sleeping hubby in the bed because he is taking a sick day, and got ready for work.

When I got to school, I mentioned to a friend that my husband was sick over the weekend and she said I should talk to my department head because the school does not want any students or staff in the building if they have even been exposed to the flu. So....

They sent me home!

I couldn't believe it.

Yes, please. I will take a day off that doesn't count as an absence in order to avoid spreading germs at school.

I have that giddy feeling I get when a snow day is announced.

(I also heard a rumor they are thinking of closing the entire school tomorrow and Wednesday.)

Yikes!

In honor of my "snow day" (I can't really call it a sick day)...Tell me what you love to do if school gets cancelled.

Call it a lazy day?

Get organized?

Cook something yummy?

OK, on to Friend Makin' Monday!

Amber at {ae filkins} is hosting another FMM and today's topic, which I love, is

What are your favorite candle scents??

I am one of those people, who loves sniffing out any candles that smell like food. Not all food, mostly yummy scents reminiscent of baked goods fresh from the oven. I know there are many people out there who despise these kinds of scents, but I am a lover! My bff is one of those people. Although we are so much alike in most regards, our candle sniffing tastes are very different. She is a lover of Granny Smith Apple.

These are my lovelies:

Buttercream

as in delicious buttercream frosting

Cinnamon & Sugar

like warm cinnamon buns!

Frosted Pumpkin

Pumpkin is such a nice fall scent, but sometimes it can be too spicy smelling for me. The addition of the word frosting and the baked goods on the jar made this one seem delish!

Christmas Cookie

maybe it's the memories attached to baking and decorating sugar cookies during the holidays, but this scent is at the top of my list!

I think my love of baking definitely informs my selection of candle scents!

And as for my not-so-favorites:

There are a lot that I don't care for, but this would be one of them!

Lemon Lavender

The lemon part is okay, but not a fan of Lavender and I always consider whether or not the candle color matches my decor and this one is a miss!
