New aroma PLEASE!

Unless you don't have a TV, then I am sure you have seen these commercials. A guy puts on some Axe and the ladies can't resist. I have a story about "the axe effect", or lack there of.

A while back, my husband was in need of some deodorant. We both needed to get something at pamida, so he came with me. Normally, I would just get the deodorant myself. But this day, I let him pick out what he wanted. That was my first mistake. He saw the axe deodorant and thought he better give it a try. For the next few weeks, every time he would walk by me, he would raise his arm into the air hoping I would get a whiff. Now I don't know about you, but I certainly am not into sniffing arm pits. Needless to say, "the axe effect" was having no effect. I am guessing that it does not have the same effect on married women as it does on single women.
My husband, however, must have thought the deodorant was not powerful enough. Soon, he was wearing the body spray too. I am sure he thought it was working, because soon after Colter was on his way.

With as sick as I was through out my pregnancy, there wasn't much happening at our house. My husband must have thought that I could not smell him anymore. The aroma was gradually getting stronger. I could have swore he was bathing in the stuff. May be it was my super sniffing pregnancy powers, or may be he was using half a bottle of body spray a day, I am not sure which. But "the axe effect" was certainly having an effect on me, but it was not the one he was hoping for. It was having a HUGE effect on my stomach.

I informed him of this, and at first I think he thought I was kidding. I mean after all, in his delusional world, the women where lined up at the door and he was having to beat them off with a stick. He informed me that he gets sweaty and that way it helps hide the b.o. Again, delusional. At this point, I was thinking I would much rather smell the b.o. than the axe. I guess he finally came back to reality when he figured out the reason I was always gagging when he was around was because of the body spray. Thank the Lord!

Once Colter arrived, he decided he could start using the body spray again. WRONG! I am not sure why, but I absolutely can not stand the smell of it. It makes me want to toss my cookies every time I smell it. So, he has put me in charge of picking out a new aroma that will not offend my stomach. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

I am also thinking about starting a support group for the wives of the men who have seen these commercials. Please contact me if you are interested. :)

Gotta luv my Al!
