You smell funny.....

As most of you know Phil and I have been together for 12 years and married for 10 this August. Phil is about as regular as the day is long. He likes certain things and dislikes certain things and it has been that way all 12 years. I love candles and the Yankee Candle Company. Phil can't even go in the store because the rush of scents gives him an instant headache. No chic scents either. He likes the cinnamon, pumpkin pie, vanilla, you get the idea. If I want to try a new scent I have to be prepared for him not to like it and not to be able to burn it in the house.

He is also this particular about his deodorant. For 12 years he has worn the same deodorant. I never knew it was part of his personality if you will. The last time I went to the store they were out. I started going into panic mode. He works outdoors he has to have deodorant. What scent do I choose now? What if he gags? So I spent probably 20 minutes in the aisle at the store opening the lids to see if I could find something that smelled close. Finally, after they all started to smell the same I closed my eyes and picked one.

Again because Phil works outdoors there are many days he comes home and showers before bed. Then one night after showering we were laying in bed talking.....I looked at him and said "you smell funny"......it was the new deodorant. He looked at me and said I just showered. The deodorant doesn't suit you. I will go out tomorrow and find your stuff. Needless to say I keep it stocked with the right kind so it doesn't smell like some stranger in my bed.

Just one of those little things..........................
