Music Associations

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the song 'Sweet Emotion' by Aerosmith came on. Every time I hear that song it reminds me of the Mary Catherine Gallagher skit on Saturday Night Live back in the day. It got me thinking of all the songs that make me think of something specific every time I hear them. Here is my 'Music Association' playlist:

1. Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix: The scene in Wayne's World where Garth starts dancing in the diner
2. Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin: Reminds me of high school dances where you slow dance with a guy at the beginning and then can't decide whether to continue once the song gets faster.
3. Time of your Life by Green Day: The last episode of Seinfeld
4. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen: Also a scene in Wayne's World where they are singing it in the Dodge Colt (or whatever that crap blue car was)
5. Your Song by Elton John: My wedding song
6. Joker by Steve Miller Band: Bus rides to swim meets in high school where we would all sing along with hand actions too :-)

I am sure there are others but that is the top six for now.

Melaleuca-Product of the Month

A couple of months ago I joined this company called Malaleuca that sells natural, eco friendly products as part of a monthly subscription type deal. It is also a company that sells these subscriptions using an 'Amway' sort of structure. Personally, I am not that interested in selling it to other people which is why I have not blogged about it until now. I am interested in buying and using their products because a lot of them have no chemicals or irritants in them.
I was skeptical when I signed up but I figured I could cancel at any time if I was not happy. So far I am totally impressed with what I have tried. The cleaners that they make are fantastic and clean better than the other eco-friendly cleaners that I have bought at the grocery store in the past. In particular, the dishwasher detergent, all purpose cleaner, and glass cleaner are great. They also have a line of shampoos and body washes that are Sodium Laureth Sulfate free (which is an irritant) that are really good.
They get a thumbs up from me :-)

Random Things

I haven't had anything really good or funny to post about lately so here is a smattering of the goings on in the Renshaw household.
1. Leah has something called RSV which is a really nasty, mucus filled, feverish cold for babies. Needless to say, it sucks and no one is sleeping.
2. Morgan has decided that she is scared of sleeping in her room and regularly wanders into our room in the middle of the night. This is not such a big deal because of point number one.
3. I am trying to train for a 5K that is in April but have had to cut back this week because my ankles and knees are not doing well. I guess I really am getting old.
4. On a good note we have a vacation to Florida coming up in a couple of weeks and I am so looking forward to it. Heres hoping for good weather!
5. I got some free stuff! One of my first posts was about how great Leah's Miracle Blanket is and they read the blog so the company is sending me a free blanket! Love them!
