Ally McBeal

Wow! It has really been a long time since I've blogged! This is insane! I thought I was going to be so good at this! Sadly, I haven't been so good at it. I really will try to be better!

So I started watching Ally Mcbeal on Netflix and it brought back a whole lot of memories! I watched it growing up with my mom, and it's funny how things bring back memories in the strangest way for me. Most of the time it's a certain smell that brings me back, but sometimes it's a TV show or a song and everything starts to come back in waves. I remember being about 12 or 13 and every Monday night Ally McBeal would come on and it was something that my mom and I could do together, it was the only thing that we could do together at the time. Just watch the show. I remember her putting this oil; this scented oil in a small speckled pot on top of the wood stove in the living room that smelled like lavender, and that is what I think of when I watch this show. I think of lavender and my mom.

It's odd though, because it's not like that is the only time my mom burned that lavender oil-when Ally McBeal was playing, but that is the only time I think about the lavender oil. I don't have a lot of really wonderful memories with my mom, but for some reason this sticks out, and when I watch this ridiculous show, I think of her and I smile. I think I smile because I know that we aren't close, and I know that to my mom, I come second to her husband and my brother, but I like to think that we have at least a few good memories.

Wow...that was slightly depressing...and it wasn't meant to be. Haha! Some how I manage to do that far too often...I think the point I was trying to make was nostalgia. haha. I just wanted to say that I really do have some good memories from my childhood, no matter how weird they are...
