I have been undecided today on my candles. I started out with Yankee Early Sunrise, Coconut Bay and Spring Days. But, Early Sunrise wasn't doing it for me today and as hard as I try (burned it three days) I can't stand the Spring Days--it just isn't for me. Coconut Bay is still on and I have lit Juicy Grapefruit, Starfruit and Orange and Bahama Breeze. Those should be OK for the afternoon.
It is a lovely day here--sunny and kind of windy--perfect start to March.

Today I am enjoying CFTKR's PinkSugar/Lavender (OMG...amazing!) and Lastingscents Cinnamon Twist (even MORE amazing!!!).
They are both so freaking awesome. Thanks Cindy, for sharing. You are too kind.
Hope you are all well. I am going to go read back and see what I missed the past day or so.

Today I have Haley's Pink Fruity Loops going in the bedroom, and BHG Sugared Melon and Kiwi in the livingroom. It smells fantastic in here!

Hey, looks like the forum is back!! Thank goodness, I was really in withdrawal for a while there! It's too bad the old host had problems all of a sudden like that.
Lately I've been melting MD Lime Spritzer, which was actually amazing in its throw, scent and stamina. It was so long-lasting that when I poured it out, I poured it back into the tart cup to remelt later. It had been going for so long, I just wanted something else and came up with CHC Shortbread Cookies (mostly b/c I'm about to make some cookies).
I don't know if any of you watch Wheel of Fortune (I don't even have cable, personally), but today my cousin Pat is going to be on! So if you watch it and you see him, that's my cousin. Totally random.
Let's hear about everyone's scents during the CF outage!

I almost got lost in last month's thread until I saw someone redirecting us here.
Silly, how are you feeling? I wish I had a good ENT to recommend. There is a well known practice Port Jeff. by the train station. I went there once for an ear problem but the ENT I saw was completely useless. He started sticking some pointy thing in my ear without telling me he was going to do so and that hurt like a b----. Then he stuck some contraption on top of my head without telling me what it was for. He proceeded to do a hearing test and I had no clue he was going to do this so I wasn't prepared to start focusing on the sounds and bombed the test until I told him that I wasn't paying attention to the sounds since he didn't tell me what he was going to do. He wasn't too happy that I wasted a minute of his time and required him to redo the test. Try figuring out if a soft sound is coming from the left ear, right ear, or both when you have no idea the sound is even coming. It sounded like the sounds were of equal sound in both ears which completely threw me off so I started guessing at the answers. I didn't know that in the middle could even be an answer let alone the right answer. Of course my hearing is perfectly fine but I was very frustrated with this guy. A complete waste of time and my ear issue resolved without any help from him. If you are going to this practice send me an email and I'll give you the name of the doctor to avoid. Before he saw me he was dealing with a child with an ear infection. I could hear the child screaming in fear of this guy. He did little to calm the child down. He told the kid that he had to do this and he had to just deal with it. Nice...really nice. I wanted to do this to him by the time I left his office --->
I hope you feel better soon and if you want that name just email me.

Great thread name for March! Grats Laurie!
Currently melting:
K - Iced Pumpkin Roll - Spotted Hog - A really nice scent - I'm really starting to enjoy the pumpkin scents
LR - Domination - Evening Eclipse - A favorite
BR - Water Lily & Jasmine - Candle Dippers - I finally managed to find one that is comparable to the superb version LOL used to carry - Awesome and a favorite!
Bathroom - Freesia - Spotted Hog - A favorite
Burning some candles too:
K - YC The Great Pumpkin jar
Bathroom - YC Country Heather jar
I'm going to be without a computer again for a couple of weeks because something is wrong with it so I have to ship it back to HP for repair - they think it's the video card that is bad but aren't sure - I had to do a ton of diagnostics and such with the CS reps over the phone which has been super annoying. Thankfully it's still under warranty (it isn't even 2 years old yet!!!) so this will cost us nothing to repair. They even shipped me a box and a pre paid shipping label.

Sillys and Aria-Hope you are feeling better today.
This morning I melted LSC Cafe Vanilla Latte. Very good but for some reason these melts don't do so well here. They are not as strong as I expected. It is really weird how some homes have better results than others.
Just switched to some candles. I am burning Yankee Candy Hearts, Vanilla Cupcake and Tutti Frutti. The Tutti Frutti is taking over the house. This is one of the strongest YC's I have ever burned. It smells great in here!!
I had posted this in last month's thread.
Good title Laurie!!

Did CF actually switch servers yet or not? I couldn't get on for a bit and then I did get on and then I got on with a message about them switching servers and such. I am getting confused and keep thinking I am the only one who cannot get on. Oh well, it seems fixed as of right now.
Melting only Fluffer Nutter from CBV. I had the most horrible migraine last night and was even sick and then the pounding was worse........ugh! I can't even think about it without getting nauseous again. Anyway, I stayed home from work today and not melted anything except in my son's room. The Fluffer Nutter is very good.
Waiting for DH to finish dinner. I spent the afternoon revising his resume/cover letter, as I am better with that sort of thing and he is doing dinner.
Hope everyone has a great evening and please know I probably have missed a few things as I was shut out for a bit.
LLVV, what's wrong with Linda? Did she post here? I guess I missed that one. Hope she is feeling better. Please give her my best if you talk to her.
American Idol tonight......girls night. I missed half the boys last night, but that Rocker kid is amazing, if you like that sort of music. I guess I used to. His voice is SO GOOD though. I hope he goes far.
Night everyone.

Maurie - In February's thread near the end she mentioned having ear problems. I accidentally wandered into last month's thread. Hopefully the ear issue is gone by now.
I'm trying out Carol's Ma Petite Cherie tonight. Can't wait!
