Jinksy - you certainly are flying through your stash of tarts! I have a feeling you are in no danger of reaching tart poverty levels, though. I will be interested to know what you think of the METPC. It is not making a huge impression on me, but I am wondering it if is just an old sample.

LOL - what would the "tart poverty level" be? I fear just pondering that hideous state.

Julip- Yes, you are right, I'm in absolutely no danger of running low. lamo. Well, I just turned off the METPC! Not for me, the tropical marmalade that's in the description just took over the whole thing. It was pretty overwhelming! Are you finding that at all? The CCPie tart smells so nice when you are sitting right next to it! I think I'll have to use that one in a smaller room so I can really enjoy it! BTW- I forgot to mention the Karibu truffle one I had on for a bit until it actually made me feel queasy. It had the worst scent I've ever smelled in my life. I can't put my finger on it but it was like the worst rotten horrible nuts you could imagine. Pure YUCK. lmao. Have you ever tried it?

Jinksy - you have had some tart trauma today, to say the least! Put on a slam-dunk winner, just to get over all the losers.

Sadly, my tart-light isn't glowing today ..
I can't really even smell my new tarts, but the day will come, I hope.

Bonza and Jinksy - lol I have no fear of seeing tart poverty level at this rate. And Jinksy - you have had a rough tart day, between Pink Sugar and Karibu truffle! Bonza, you are right, tart trauma for sure! Jinksy - pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and pop in a BNB. Bonza's advice to put in a slam-dunk winner is sure to right this very wrong tart day. You've got our 110% support. lmao I did not get the marmalade smell of the METPC - I think the sample was too old, which sounds like it was good fortune for me! I have not tried the Karibu truffle either. Sounds awful! "worst rotten horrible nuts you could imagine." lol Sea - that is so sad, no tart light! Maybe this is a good time to get rid of some tarts you don't like, since you can't smell it anyway. That way you get the nice tart warmer glow.

Bonza- I'm actually having a great time trying out all my tarts today. I love finding ones I don't like because it saves me money. I thrive on tart trauma. Even the ones that stink, make me sick, and cause spontaneous combustion. lmao.

Sea- Hurry up and get better, you've got tarts to enjoy! Julip- I'm going to start fresh tomorrow with some slam-dunk winners like Bonza suggested. I'll be guaranteed to have a great tart day.

It IS good to go the the gold standard, like BNB or Butter Cream Crunch, after you have some shocks. Once I got this cold I re-tried the Creamy Peppermint, hoping it would clear out my sinuses and it was traumatic. I popped in BCC and it didn't smell right, so then I knew I couldn't trust my nose for now, so it was time to "turn off the tart light and back away from the burner".

lol "Step away from the burner" for both Jinksy and Sea! Tomorrow is another day and Sea, hopefully, you'll be better then! So, I should have gotten my tart order today... but my post office never get's it right! I had TWO deliveries today, but no tart package! I wouldn't put it past them to deliver to the wrong house either though. Better go and check the tracking!

Oh no, Joely! I hope the tart package is simply delayed, and not sitting at someone else's house. Oh, I hate it when that happens! Jinksy - I could not wait till tomorrow, and I started a sure-thing Boysenberry Butter Cookie in the family room just now. I switched out the METPC, which really never got going, thank goodness. Sea - hopefully tomorrow all your tart worries will be over.

I tried a sample of Paradise Passion at work today, not too old, I received it from Alyce in January. I liked it, a little of a coconut scent and not sure what else. I tried to find it on her web site and haven't had any success--has anyone else seen this one?

Cathie - hmmm...I don't think I've seen that one in any of my samplers. It may have been a summer scent that was retired near the end of the year, since retired scents sometimes show up in the samplers. There are some seasonal scents that she retires temporarily then brings it back when it is back "in season". If you like that one, I hope it comes back. It sounds like it smells delicious!

Jinksy - RMAO @ "I'm actually having a great time trying out all my tarts today. I love finding ones I don't like because it saves me money. I thrive on tart trauma. Even the ones that stink, make me sick, and cause spontaneous combustion." I'm going to have to do that - the Random Sample As Many As You Can Stand day. LAMO Joely - I'm sure it will come tomorrow - did you check the tracking? Sea - I hope you can melt tomorrow. Mama - LAMO - we dedicate the "catch" to you! Julip - we know you will never experience tart poverty!

Bonza ~ I did check tracking and thankfully, it doesn't show as being delivered. I am, however, leaving tomorrow around the time that my mail is delivered, so we'll see if I get my mail before leaving for the weekend! They're insured, so at least they NEED my signature, unless they forget and leave them on my doorstep for all to STEAL.

Well, I wanted to post that the Bachelor was on Ellen today, but that was the quickest interview ever! At least anyone not on the east coast (or has it come on later on the east coast) will get a chance to see it if you wish. ) Woo hoo!! Olympics Opening Ceremony is tonight! I can't wait!

And good morning, all! I have nothing on the burner yet - it's too early to make a decision. But I'm extremely worried about Joely's package. Joely - would you like me to drive down and sign for the tarts in your absence? I promise to guard them vigorously while you are away! Jinksy - I love your bakery day choices - it sounds like a yummy day at your house! Julip - fun viewing tonight with the opening ceremonies.
