I love the smell of warm oatmeal cookies!! Cozy up to a fire, or get under the covers and watch a good movie with your cookies. Perfect for a cold night. Crispy and chewy all at the same time.

This may sound weird, but I can still remember what my Grandma Bea smelled like. Even without perfume, everyone has a "scent", and I remember hers. I think I am one of those very sensitive smell people. I was in a movie theater over the weekend. I could smell someone sitting near me, and it grossed me out. It smelled like greasy hair. My sensitive nose is only good when there are good scents, otherwise it can literally make me ill!!
