Random Musings Friday

{Thanks to Kallay, who got it from Shana, for the Friday blogging idea!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I wish I could say that it feels like Friday or that it was a long/short week or something, but being off work means that all the days run together in a long stream of seemingly non-productive experiences.  Arg.   1.5 more weeks and I can be productive again (or, productive without guilt!)  Here are my random thoughts for Friday...

** Have you ever heard of Norwex?  No?  I hadn't either.  A friend invited me to a Norwex party and, to be honest, I went more because I need to do stuff with other women than because I really cared all too much about a new way to clean my house.  The premise behind Norwex is getting away from all the chemicals we use in cleaning.  It's kind of scary that the air quality IN our homes is often worse than the air quality OUTSIDE.  They sell antibacterial cloths that are great for cleaning and also sanitize without chemicals.  I figured I'd order something small and move on.  I'm not saying I made a huge order, but I did order a few things and I had to review one of them that I am so totally loving right now!!

This is the Norwex dusting mitt and I am LOVING it!  We recently used some Christmas bonus money to purchase a new TV (which made Jon happy because it got rid of the green line, LOL) but it meant we needed a new entertainment center.  Let's just say Jon and I have different ideas about furniture... but I'm really really trying to back off and stop being so overbearing and controlling so when he found one that he really liked, we ordered it.  My biggest issue was that it's black.  Black.  I acutally promised myself at some point 5-6 years ago that I'd never buy another piece of black furniture, LOL!  It shows so much dust and stuff... but then last night at MOPS Amy brought our Norwex stuff and this morning I decided to give the mitt a try on the entertainment center.  I AM SOLD!  That thing is amazing!  Not a single spec of dust and no dusting chemicals that will just grab new dust anyway.  I also ordered an Enviro Cloth, Scrub Cloth, and some Micro Cleaning Hand Pads, but I haven't used those yet so I'll wait to review. 

** OMG did you know that I'm having a baby?!  Really??  You did??  Then could you PLEASE help it click in MY head?!  Yeah, it hasn't clicked.  I keep looking at my phone because I have one of those little Android Apps that tells me how many day left until my due date (March 5th).  Today it says {pause to look at phone} 37 more days.  Wow... 37 days.  I think maybe it's hard to picture that he could be here in a month because it feels like it's still two months away... you know, because it's January and I'm not due until March.  So there's still two more months, right?  Right?  Well, if I'm correct and he's late, then I guess it could be closer to two months, right?

** How is it that I'm the only one home all day long... yet I swear every day the house is messy, and it's not Jon and Nick?  How can one person who isn't really doing much of anything make a house so messy? 

** I spent 30 minutes this morning trying to turn a lightbulb into a Valentine's Day gift for Jon.  The result?  I'm on the lookout for a new idea...
