Gross!

I know that I am a hero to many of you out there. Heroes should be strong and resilient.

Fans, I have to break it to you... I'm just a wuss. Not with shots and things like that, but when it comes to gross things, I'm a really big baby. I'll go over just how wussy I am right now.

1. Last week we had raw sewage leak into our office. While everyone was trying to salvage what they could, I decided I would grab some carpet samples to throw down to absorb the water so as to prevent it from travelling to the actual carpet...

I've learned from visiting the nursing home how to breathe through your mouth so you don't gag on sick and unusual smells, but for some reason I accidentally breathed through my nose and began gagging and I nearly got sick. There were live poop chunks in our break room. It's not even like your baby's poop... this was STRANGER POOP. Other people tolerated it just fine, which makes me think that they are weird because how is stranger poop not gag worthy? Okay that was just so disgusting I need to stop remembering and discussing it...

Onto...

2. Yesterday my throat hurt REALLY BAD. REALLY REALLY REALLY bad. Actually, probably just more like bad. Well I went to the doctor to get a prescription for something to make me feel better... he prescribed an antibiotic and some sort of special gargling mouth stuff to numb my throat... when I realized it would take them an hour to make it I decided to go with the pharmacy tech girl's recommendation of Cloraseptic spray instead. Cha-ching! Cheap cheap cheap solution to my problem... Well, I tried to use it... it said to pump FIVE sprays into your throat and allow it to sit there for 15 seconds. No such luck. I did ONE spray and immediately lost it (not really, just more gagging).

Next...

3. Around 8 my darling husband came home and said he would pick up dinner so I wouldn't have to cook (the truth is he just didn't like any of the things I had to cook). I asked him to see if my pharmacy of choice would be able to make that mouth gargle after all because I could NOT tolerate the spray. Well they did. And of course the pharmacist who hates me said that he was pretty sure that I would not be able to handle this stuff. Well, my fans, he was right. I was like a little child being forced to take her medicine... husband man had to stand there while I worked up the courage to use this stuff... he finally gave up...

Let me explain why it was such a struggle for me...

I started with a sniff to see what it smelled like. Robitussin. Not too bad. Then I poured it into a little measuring cup... it looked like a melted strawberry milkshake. EW! I decide to try it anyway... you're supposed to gargle it in your throat for 15 seconds and then swallow it, leaving behind a numb and happy throat. I couldn't even get it IN my throat... I THOUGHT I was gargling it, but turns out I think I was just gargling my spit. I lost it again and all of the EXPENSIVE nasty stuff went down the drain... then I had a really numb tongue. And a painfully sore throat.

Finally...

4. Powdered sugar......is......... GROSS. You just don't understand until you have had as much experience with it as I have..... the smell penetrates the nostril and lingers..... and then you dry heave throughout the day because it's just THERE and it has a WEIRD smell. OMG NEVER get into cake decorating. You'll be sooooo sorry. I'm not really sorry because I'm a pretty talented cake decorator (with some help from another blogger who is NOT undercover).

That's all. I didn't want to let you guys down, but I felt I needed to be honest with my readers about my weaknesses. I know you guys have PLENTY of them (weaknesses). Don't worry though, tips on how to be more like me are on the way!

Have a great day!
