I would have bought it as well. I love how smells remind you of a far away time and a far away memory.<BR/><BR/>Dan - Much better. :)Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-66167692249291129762008-07-14T17:33:00.000-04:002008-07-14T17:33:00.000-04:00men and women... ;)Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08723390116868166355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-65115360852112378772008-07-14T15:57:00.000-04:002008-07-14T15:57:00.000-04:00That happens to me all the time! Do you know the purfume called Colors, by Benetton? It's old- I don't even know if Benetton still sells it. When I was young, like 8ish, a Benetton store was opened in my town. It didn't last long, but my friend and I thought it was the the most perfect store ever, and we swore to shop there when we were "older, fancy ladies." Well, one day, before I went to Luxembourg for the semester (7 years ago!) I was at TJ Maxx and they had a bottle of it for $10, so I bought it! Now I see it once in a while, and I always buy it, and I always remember the little girl I used to be and then my time in Luxembourg where I then discovered a Benetton store! <BR/><BR/>PS. I rarely shop there now...I don't think I am fancy enough...or wealthy enough :)Lexiloohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789424491788958854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-47900046651472915492008-07-13T21:37:00.000-04:002008-07-13T21:37:00.000-04:00Meghan - It's so great to hear from you! I'm really glad you found my blog, as it gave me a chance to find your. Which i'm going to go read now. Also, it's my favorite poem as well!<BR/><BR/>rs27 - It's pretty easy. Clearly, you're not skilled like me. (Score one for me!) <BR/><BR/>Lyla Lou - horse camp? Awesome. I want to hear about that. Also, i'm allergic as well, which is why I had to load up on the spray. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>EP - That's really cool! I played it once with friends at night while in college. It was loads of fun, however I'm sure if I played it in 7th grade at night, I probably would have cried. I was scared of the dark. I have so much respect for you!!Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-32176400431466174402008-07-13T09:31:00.000-04:002008-07-13T09:31:00.000-04:00When I was a counselor, that age group was my fave, too, for the same reasons.<BR/><BR/>We never played capture the flag, but thinking about the game takes me back to youth group trips in the 7th-9th grade. We would play at night in the woods, and it was incredible.EPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08600424792398230829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-33526347256014304062008-07-12T17:45:00.000-04:002008-07-12T17:45:00.000-04:00I've always thought I missed out on the whole 'camp' thing. I was never a camper, or counselor(except for my two weeks as a counselor at a horse camp, worst experience ever). But hearing about the bees maybe missing out is a good thing, I'm terribly allergic! I love how this post makes me nostalgic for an experience I never had!Lyla Louhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17646377228141911067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-54391759010782976432008-07-11T18:34:00.000-04:002008-07-11T18:34:00.000-04:00How do you do that thing where your toes are pointed in opposite directions?<BR/><BR/>Must be a circus thing.<BR/><BR/>I always hated putting bug spray on before baseball games because I would eat sunflower seeds and it would taste funny after being in my hands.<BR/><BR/>I hope I don't have a disease from bug spray eating.rs27http://www.blogger.com/profile/10921631514980980229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-30844255393691723262008-07-11T16:19:00.000-04:002008-07-11T16:19:00.000-04:00Hey Lauren--stumbled on your blog while perusing your NY photos on Facebook. Lovely writing! Just wanted to say hi. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I love your blog name. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is my very favorite poem.Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06422411331499906000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-69810248006404278272008-07-11T15:30:00.000-04:002008-07-11T15:30:00.000-04:00To answer Dan's question and for anyone else wondering, yes in the picture we're spelling out: <BR/>"7 - 8 's" <BR/>because that week we were counselors for the seven and eight year olds and that week we thought we were really witty.<BR/><BR/>Neat?<BR/><BR/>And, also, there are three girls in the picture and one of which is me. THANKS DAN FOR CALLING ME A GUY!<BR/><BR/>Hmph. <BR/><BR/>It's a good thing we're friends, or else.... :)Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-84957131842585322652008-07-11T15:25:00.000-04:002008-07-11T15:25:00.000-04:00Ah, camp. It's glorious. I can't stand bug spray, but it's amazing how it can bring back such memories.<BR/><BR/>Are the guys in the picture spelling something?Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08723390116868166355noreply@blogger.com
