O'Lala, the finest fragrance with lavender and a touch of mint combines with an amber scent.

Barfei. Oye, you're moving mad.

It's Lynx Blue Lavender from the new Link's fine fragrance collection.

Go get yours now and smell finer than the finest fragrances.

I'm Gretchen Rubin and this is a little happier.

There are certain phrases, images, and memories that always make me happy.

For some reason, this line from Boswell's biography, The Life of Samuel Johnson,

strikes me as one of the funniest things I've ever read.

And it wasn't even a quotation from Johnson.

This is from a conversation that Dr Johnson had with James Boswell in London, February 24th, 1773.

Boswell writes, Lord Chesterfield being mentioned, Johnson remarked, that almost all of the

celebrated noble bands witty sayings were puns.

He, however, allowed the merit of good wit to his lordship saying of Lord Tyrali and himself,

when both were very old and infirm.

Terrali and I have been dead these two years, but we don't choose to have it known. That always makes me laugh.

An image that always makes me happy is the famous opening hat toss from the Mary Tyler

Moore show, Mary Richard's feeling of

sudden exhilaration is familiar but also rare and precious. A memory that always

makes me happy is early in our marriage. My husband Jamie walked into

our bedroom in his boxers and announced I am Lord of the Dance and started doing that kind of Lord of the Dance dancing.

Please still laugh out loud every time I think of it. If I have to smile for a photograph,

I always think of that. He's never done it again, though I have begged him for a repeat performance.
