A Major Award May 31, 2007
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , trackbackMy Mum visited last week and brought the contents of some drawers I never cleaned out when I left home, over, um, 25 years ago. Why I am going through the stuff is beyond me as obviously I can live without it, but I am.
Yesterday’s big find was a major award I received the summer I worked at camp and was bit on my behind by a doberman pinscher. While I was waiting for results of the rabies isolation, I made a list of people I would probably bite if, in fact, I had rabies.
That is one way I know without a doubt that I am totally depraved.
At the camp banquet, I received this award. It is now immortalized here and in the trash. Miss Language had to ask just what the disk was, anyway. What do they teach at these schools these days?
I also cleared out some old perfume. The Love’s Baby Soft had not fared well at all. And the tangerine scented oil from the 60’s head shop just smelled like… nothing. What does smell better than it used to was the tiny sample Fuller Brush jar I had refilled by cramming as many lilac blossoms as I could into it with a toothpick and then filling it with Sea Breeze. That makes pretty decent perfume if you have almost 40 years to wait for it to set up.

LOL! My mom loved Love’s Baby Soft. I remember Sea Breeze, too. Nice to know the fragrance lasts for forty years.
Marina had gotten bitten by a Doberman on Halloween one year. It kind of killed trick or treating for me. Too bad I didn’t think to give her the tetanus tush award!
Loved your comment! Story time-We were street performing one year in Central Park. Because NY crowds are so hard to draw, we had a trick where dh juggled knives over me. He was trying so hard to make people look he missed a knife and the handle end went right into my chin. Ouch! Luckily, no one saw it. They were too busy pretending we weren’t there.
Peace and Laughter,
