Ok leave it to me to have another puke story (if you haven't, read the blog of when I threw up in a man purse), however, this time I wasn't the one who got sick. Haha.
But first...you may have noticed the 4 polls I posted on this site. Yup, Halloween time is comming and I have no idea what I want to be! You are never too old to dress up! So I posted the 4 polls and the winner of each poll will face off in a final poll and I will seriously dress up as the ultimate winner. So help me decide!!! It will be fun :)
GROSS STORY ALERT!!!!
Ok, now to the puke story. So, I have a friend named Desa who has been a pal for 8 years or so, and we have similar work schedules so we frequently go out to lunch together. Well, last year we went to a Chinese buffet near nothtown mall. While I was eating I looked up and noticed she was gone. Because she is a smoker, I assumed she just went out to do so. However, she came back a few minutes later covered in vomit in the front and in the back she was soaked! She said she was choking, so she ran to the bathroom and threw up on the floor by accident. Then she slipped in it and fell in the toilet. Yuck! We had to go buy her a new outfit at the Goodwill next door (which is now closed...sad!). Well, anyways, that was last year.
2 days ago, we decided to eat at the buffet again. We hadn't been there since the incident. This time we came and the food was delicious and we were joking and laughing about the last time we were there. Then Desa said to me "Have you ever had these crab things wrapped in bacon?" And well, since Im allergic to both crab and pork, I said no. So she took a big bite and then clutched her throat and started thrusting. I thought she was re-enacting the last visit, so I laughed a little. But then she ran towards the bathroom. Now, to get to the bathroom you need to walk through the buffet area. Well, she didn't make it that far. She covered her mouth but it didn't help any....vomited was spewing everywhere. On the floor, in the salad bar, on the walls, EVERYWHERE. They had to (obviously) close that section of the buffet and clean it out. YUCK. I lost my appetite right then and there. Yet, Desa STILL continued to eat! (This time we had to get her a new shirt at Target...) Yup. Never goin' back there again...
So, I'm convinced I am a true blonde airhead. Last night I spent the night at my parents house. So this morning I got up for work and when I was almost ready to go I started up my car to warm it up (it was a chilly morning). I was going to do my hair as it warmed up. Anyways, I locked my keys in my car. I thought, hmmm no big deal, luckily I'm at my parents house and they have a spare. Well, I went to the key hook and it was gone. Then it dawned on me that last night my mom needed to move my car. So I woke up my parents and they were a little irritated at being woken up at 5:30 am (and rightfully so). So, we all started searching and no luck. I was freaking out! Then I realized...oh, my brother has a spare!!! So I woke him up and he couldn't find his keys! Well...coincidentially he had locked HIS keys in his car as well (the difference was my car was turned on!!!). And...yup...his spare was missing as well. So all 4 of us were in a giant panic scrambling all over the place on a mad key hunt. Meanwhile my mother decided to scream at me at how stupid I am to lock the keys int he car while it was running (even though she did the same thing last year). Thank goodness my dad found my spare.....in my moms shoe. What the heck! I rushed out of the house to get to work while my brother looked for his spare. So, barely on time I ran into work and slammed smack dab into a heater, whacking my hand really hard on the corner. Now I have this really icky bruise and it smarts! Then I spilled my can of RED moutain dew (it was all I had time to grab as I hurried out the door) all over my white polo, and dropped my oatmeal all over the floor. Yeah...I truly am a clutz and a ditz. But hey...we make the world go round!!!
My day is (so far so good) getting better. Yeah, its not even 10:30 yet but Im keeping my fingers crossed! After a morning like that I figure it can only go up from here!
Oh...earlier this week I was a guest on Saturday Evening Cocktails with Dan Hendrickson. It will be posted close to Halloween. I am really excited, it was a whole lot of fun!! Dan is quite a funny guy, granted it takes me 5 minutes to understand his jokes but its just that Im really slow and ditzy like that. But it was the Halloween sssccarrryyy edition and because I love Halloween so much it was extra fun!
Ok..thats all the thoughts I have for now...other than the fact that I am REALLY hungry (sad...my oatmeal disaster meant no breakfast). So I can't WAIT for lunch time.
Don't forget to vote for my costume!!!
THATS ALL FOLKERINOS!



Mitch.. you kill me.. how cute are you!!!
I had a woman almost die in my restaurant from choking on a piece of meat, and yes, it causes a person to throw up even though they cannot get air in. I did the heimlich thing, but not successfully and thankfully my 7 foot tall, huge, massively brutish business partner was there and managed to thrust the morsel from her tiny throat before she went completely blue.
Often times people who are choking run for the restroom in embarrassment. It is a fact that many people die in restaurant bathrooms for this very reason.
We no longer serve that dish.. and now make sure all of our meats are braised to melt in the mouth (or throat) consistancy!
I look forward to seeing you with my favourite puppet!
