To this day those scriptures (which are now used by my nearly 7yr old daughter) sport a lovely purple tinge to the corners of the pages and a distinct Sprunch Spray smell...
So I'm shopping the other day for hairspray - with some very flat and very bland hair - and what do I see on the shelf? Seriously - do I have to tell you... haven't you been following along? I didn't know they still made this stuff!
So I buy my beloved Sprunch Spray (hey, it was on sale even!) and all week I've been having olfactory flashback when I swing my head to the side. Needless to say I've been doing a lot of head-swinging... I might need a chiropractor...
and my daughter... she told me I smell like her scriptures :) Does that make me more holy?
and the other flashback - I got to have lunch with a college roommate - it's been... well... let's just guess at 17 years and it was a trip! She was in town for the President's Day Weekend (hoping for some nice warm weather that was sadly lacking) and we had a chance to live it up for probably about 30 minutes longer than her husband was hoping for since he had all 5 of their boys with HIM for the duration! She's always had the most beautiful eyes but I hardly think it's fair that I have far more wrinkles than she does! It was a lot of fun - even though she actually LIKES history...
...oh, the memories - some too stupid to blog about :)
(ahh... - now I'm swinging my head side to side and enjoying the wafting Sprunchy smell... it's cheap aromatherapy!)

I didn't know sprunchy was even a word... :)
I used Aussie sprunchy spray! It was great for sprunching up those perms. I can still smell it like it was yesterday.
WOW!!! I'm flashing back on the early morning seminary!! YOWZA!!! My last year was my sister and I ...hmmmm heads or tails for the opening prayer!!!
My 7 year old is using my mini scriptures, too, these days!
sprunchy may not have been a word this morning - but with all the usage it's getting her I think it's got a shot at making Webster's eventually!
Stopping by from SITS. Always fun to relive old memories of early morning seminary.
Your so funny. I am glad you had fun with your college roomate. Your clothes matched. Was that planned? JK... keep swinging your hair it does smell good. Glad I have a bad memory that way I can't remember History that comes back and haunts us. he he
Oh, T! You had the bigger hair. Don't give me all the credit (but thanks for linking to my blog!)
I am also sent back in time anytime I smell Polo. It still gives me that girlish twitterpated feeling.
Hi T!!!!!! It's me!!!!!!
I want to know which one is you!
And I want to know why you got so sick and lost half your hair. Please do tell so I don't feel so insensative!
Crash: Ack! Yep - I guess I did fail to mention that I'm the short one in the photo...
And the hair loss was just little by little over the course of womanly issues - (ovarian cysts that made me REALLY sick... and multiple pregnancies) - but it's never quite grown back all thick and lustrous (and BIG) as it once was...
Kris: Funny thing - apparently the camera sucketh because her shirt was decidedly teal and mine was a denim blue... but in the picture they're all cutesy matchy - weird!
I love nostalgic smells. I don't think we had anything but Aquanet growing up and I was so jealous of the girls that got their hairspray in the plastic bottles instead of the aerosal cans.
