Smells in my Elevator

Dear Reader...
     I have had a few elevator adventures and I am saving those up for another post... but lately I have been making note of the strange and wonderful smells I have experienced in my elevator.  First you should know that I live on the 20th floor and the elevator has a window/glass wall that looks over the city so I get a wonderful view of the street and all kinds of life going on there.  As soon as I moved here last fall, I realized I would be spending a lot of time going up and down to my car, to the street, to the mail box, and other errands.  I began to notice that when there was a smell in the elevator I had plenty of time to think about what it was... at one of my first discerning moments I decided I had to take notes... It was a strange mixture of ...

• Cheetos and wet stinky dog

     I visualized a guy with a bag of Cheetos who had just walked his dog out in the rain.

The list continues for several more rides, I smell...

• Tacos
• Sweaty workout someone
• Paint
• Strong perfume - Bad!

    All fairly easy to understand why they would be in an elevator... then this one.

• A sour Ginger smell

     I was visualizing someone was carrying some kind of sushi, with ginger on it...but somehow it was rotten.

Next came these...

• Rotten Orange
• Beer
• Compost
• Oddly metallic

     Then my state legalized the private use of small amounts of Marijuana... so

• Strong smell of Pot! I tried not to second hand smoke any!

Finally I got some fairly nice smells...

• Flowers
• Cheeseburgers
• Nail Polish remover
• Perfume - good!

Now I am paying attention and taking notes quite often.  Here comes...

• Gas
• Yeast - like a bagel
• Super stinky tennis shoes.

     This brings me up to today... I may continue my list or perhaps realise this is a silly exercise that shows how small my brain actually is, in any case, I do wonder what goes on in the cubicle apartment, life of my fellow renters that so many smells get out to the elevator and beyond.

Wow, I cannot believe I have been too busy to post!

      Well I have been very busy, the internship turned out to be an all consuming event.  I have claimed my life back and am now working on a relaxing, fun, spring break with family and friends....

      So I was having a little dinner the other day when I overheard someone talking about gun laws, being a CCL holder I was interested.  They were talking about fashionable ways for girls to carry, and this little tidbit floated over to me ... check out this really cute site that offers adorable purses, just right for that bulky item. :)

nice!

Terry’s Christmas News

Terry’s Christmas News  ~  2012 in Review

                It is my prayer that this Christmas finds you full of joy and peace, with the birth of Christ Jesus at center of your celebrations, the love of God in your hearts and good will toward mankind. 

 

I am writing this news review with a heart full of gratitude and remembering this last year as one full of adventure, travel and family love.  

 

I am still at Seattle Pacific University and hard at work towards my degree in Fashion Design.  In February, I was chosen for a competition called “Project Red Dress”.  As one of 12 fashion students from Washington State we were picked to create a red dress in 16 hours, it was for the American Heart Association charity for women with heart disease.  We had a blast, there was a great fashion show, and it was filmed for Channel 5’s Evening Magazine.  I was featured in You-tube videos also. J 

 

Then I threw a wrench in my graduation plan by deciding to do a quarter abroad.  The first week of March I flew to London, to begin studies at the American Intercontinental University there.  I got a chance to travel with the school to Scotland, visit the white cliffs of Dover, Canterbury, Stonehenge and Bath. I had a great time and am so glad I decided to do it!  My friend from High School, Karen came to visit.  Audrey and her step daughter Bailey came to visit me on my last week there.  Whew, we had a whirlwind of fun!

 

This spring Charlotte graduated from University of Washington!  She is working part time for a game company and doing some design commissions for individuals.  Charlotte and Jace continue to live in Bothell and they continue to be a happy and busy couple.

           

After doing some construction projects at the Whidbey Island house, my summer continued to be full.  Both of my kitties were adopted into a new home at Jaces mom in Pennsylvania.  My trip to deliver them included 3 days in New York for sightseeing and shopping; yes … I had to do that!

 

 Charlotte and I went to Texas near the end of the summer to visit Audrey and Reed in their new home (with a pool!).  More fun!

 

            Once back in Washington, I settled into my new dorm room, this time I have a rental with a wonderful view of the city and the water.  I am busy back at school, finals are looming and I am reworking my graduation plan.  Visit me if you get a chance, I love to stay busy and visitors are a great excuse to go out!

 

Love and prayers continuing!                                             Terry Ann Skipper Wilson
