She stretched out on the couch, remote control in hand. The scent of her cucumber-melon votive candles made the living room smell like a fruit basket, even as she munched the red Twizzler candy licorice ropes.
The channel she selected showed mouthwatering yeast rolls dripping with honey butter. She bit off another chunk of the cinnamon-flavored licorice and clicked the next channel. A Jeopardy question. Awesome! She leaned forward.
“200 for Game Show Hosts, Alex,” the student with the cowboy hat said.
“POV, HOH, and CBS….Rachel.”
“Who is Julie Chen? Game show hosts for 400.”
“Answers, not questions….Rachel again.”
(laughs) “Who is Alex Trebeck?”
“Right again..Who knew I’d be in my own game show? Rachel, select again.”
“Same category, 600.”
“This show will leave you stranded, unless you have a strong alliance in the game….Justin.”
“Who is Jeff Probst? Game show contestants for 800.”
(Whooshing sound) “You’ve located the Daily Double. Justin, you can risk up to 1000.”
“I’ll bet 1000.”
“Okay. Here’s your answer: He didn’t know his sister would be on the same show with him.”
“Ummm……”
The bag of Twizzlers slipped from her lap. “I know that one!” She leaned forward as time ran out.
“I need an answer Justin…”
“Ummm. Russell Hantz?”
(Groans) “Oh, so sorry Justin; the answer is Cowboy.”
Her companion laughed as she reached down for the red ropes of candy. “Maybe you should audition for the show. As much as you're obsessed with some of the male contestants..."
“I’m much better at Wheel of Fortune. I used to win all the spelling competitions at school, but got beat in the Statewide Spelling Bee. Maybe I should apply.” She stretched out again to watch the rest of the show. "And I am not obsessed with men!"
"You cried when Jeff was voted off of Big Brother; you cheered when Russell was voted off Survivor; you screamed when Brendan was brought back; and oh yes, you voted for Dr. Will on everyone's email addresses, plus your other two. And anyone else who would let you vote on their computer." He ticked them off on his fingers. "And let's not forget the name of the cologne you buy me all the time!"
So how did you do? My favorite scents are:
Fresh bread
Vanilla
Cinnamon
Cucumber-melon
And Obsession For Men:)

I got the first three right and after rereading it I feel dumb as cucumber melon was the easiest one. susan Leech garysue@dejazzd.com
But did anyone enjoy the story? LOL:)
I really miss my wall sconces. In my old home, I'd light two votive c-m candles and my living room would smell as if I were standing in the middle of a melon patch:)
And it's a family joke I have to fix two loaves of bread at once; one to eat right away and the other to be consumed later.
Ack! I missed the Obsession for Men one. I think I bawled when Jeff was voted on Big Brother too!
