Sitting here in the Office at home.....

Wondering why it smells so sweet in here. I couldn't figure it out! I seriously could smell chocolate and just sweets in general. I smelled me... nope not me.... Looked around to see if DH had a snack sitting out, nope. Finally it dawns on me, I stored the Easter Bunny goodies for Casey's basket in here and its in the closet, yet I can still smell it!!

Have you noticed you sense of smell is outrageously strong???

I don't know that my sense of smell is stronger, but I DO smell sweets better. I can tell by the smell whether a spaghetti sauce from the jar is too sweet to eat, so I suppose I could smell the chocolate in the next room too! LOL! Do you have a fire safe to put them in?

Ohh yes. Anything sugary I can smell a mile away. Thought it was odd and that my mind was playing tricks on me.

Talk about bloodhound nose here. I can smell anything and everything I'm not supposed to eat. My daughter was upstairs eating a bowl of dry fruit loops that my husband gave her and I could smell them. I have always had a very sensitive sense of smell (except when the sinus problems kick in then you could crap in my hair and I wouldn't smell it), but overall my nose knows and it really knows what I can't have.

Oh yes! I live near fast food row... I find it really hard to walk near there because the smell is so pungent. Disgusting.

I notice smells a lot more now, especially of things that I don't eat, like sweets. We have a vanilla candle in our home that I burn at times, It smells like I am baking a cake or something...then I start craving a sweet, lime MMMMMMM...that smells so good...

I smell the doughnuts in the office the moment they arrive. I have no desire to put that stuff in my body but I do enjoy the sweet smell.

I wouldn't say that I can smell better, but I crave them more than I used to when I do smell them.

I could smell Krispy Kreme when I got out of the car at work this morning. I don't even know where the nearest Krispy Kreme place IS in relation to our office.

Truthfully, the smell almost gagged me.
