Their tacos have a certain greasy smell that is pretty distinct. I obviously ate my share though because now when I do smell Taco Bell food, I can't eat it but I am reminded of being pregnant!<br /><br />I also can no longer ride carousels - I did when I was pregnant and got so dizzy and sick I was out of it for the rest of the day. I blamed it on pregnancy but to this day I still get dizzy and sick on carousels - but can go on any other ride. <br /><br />hm, not really a smell or a taste but I live to be different! lolTracynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-14889925433740462242009-08-26T02:32:05.094-06:002009-08-26T02:32:05.094-06:00Sounds and smells are powerful!

I spent three consecutive summer vacations in Oahu, staying with my Aunt, Uncle (who was stationed there) & Cousins, while in elementary school. Loved every minute of it and it always went by too quickly.<br /><br />The smell of WD-40, or anything related to auto repair (like oil or antifreeze) reminds me of my Dad. He's an auto electrician/mechanic. They bring forth the countless amount of times I've seen him in the garage, fixing an innumerable amount of things.<br /><br />The smell of sunblock reminds me of amusement parks and my girls. We're always gooping up when there's a long day of fun to be had!<br /><br />GaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-80448377796963526982009-08-25T17:02:06.302-06:002009-08-25T17:02:06.302-06:00What a great blog and I so agree!

As weird as it sounds when my Dad died after a surgery I was running around doing the good daughter thing taking care of my Mom. I was an emotional wreck and was also working with strep and an ear infection. I went to a dry cleaners to pick up my Moms suit and they had a peppermint andle burning. It just relaxed me and gave me time to collect my thoughts. I was my saving grace back then and still is today when I am stressed.<br />Baby Powder! I love this smell and love candles in this scent as well as I have sampled a body spray in this scent. I mean the lovely scent of a clean baby is like a kiss from Jesus to me.<br />I know what you mean about the orange blossums. On our way home from Cali 2 years ago driving along I5 it was about 10AM and the sun was up and so warm. The whole care took on this amazing scnet and I was freaking out in love with it. Hubby said it was the orange grove. I told him if he ever had a chance to move into the middle of a grove to do it. I would sell everything I have to live in the middle of one. I would sleep with my window open and let that amazing glorious scent wake me up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643001214415711616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-14781451628175468432009-08-25T13:22:17.670-06:002009-08-25T13:22:17.670-06:00Oh, more good ones!

It always reminds me of her. If I were to see one of those old mini-sized sample tubes of Avon lipstick, that would remind me of her too because she used to use those all the time.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-24944688530316980762009-08-25T12:55:29.784-06:002009-08-25T12:55:29.784-06:00The scent of 'White Shoulders' perfume alw...The scent of 'White Shoulders' perfume always reminds me of my paternal grandmother.

The smell of Elmer's Glue and new crayons takes me back to kindergarten and first grade. Magic markers too. Freshly mowed grass reminds me of my childhood home in the country,and the carefree days of summer. What a great place to grow up that was. I'm sure there's lots more I'm not thinking of.<br /><br /> LeanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-72808620834288552422009-08-25T12:41:29.211-06:002009-08-25T12:41:29.211-06:00When I smell roses, I'm catapulted back to my ...When I smell roses, I'm catapulted back to my grandmother's garden as a small child.
