So, Eric is sitting in his cube at his new job, and his co-workers on the other side of the wall are hearing him chatting with someone on the phone:
“Hmm. … Wow …. It was where on your body? … Did she give you anything? …. Overdose youself? …. Itchy, eh? …. Undiagnosable? Really! ….How about some salve or some cream? ….. Red wine? No! ….”
I can only imagine the reputation that Mr. Molho is getting at his fancy-shmancy new corporate job.
Yes, the hives came back. If you remember last time, I discussed the joys of unexpectedly breaking out in hives when my mom came to visit for the weekend. Well, they came back, and in full force once again. Unfortunately for me, the Internet tells me that 95% of hive cases are undiagnosable … only treatable. So, if I break out again? Lots of drugs and hopefully an ointment from the doctor to keep the itchies and scratchies away.
There is one suspect: red wine was consumed in both instances. How sad would life be if I had to go through it never drinking red wine again? Why can’t I be allergic to broccoli or beets? I won’t know for sure, though, until I drink another glass. And that won’t be happening anytime soon.
My new favorite word: picayune. Haven’t yet had the chance to use it, but like the sound of it.
Today is the first day of the Great Minnesota Get Together! Rog and I will be heading over on September 1, MPR day. Other cool things to check out:
- the Miracle of Birth Center: “If all goes according to plan, eight calves, 12 lambs and 12 litters of piglets will be born between Aug. 23 and Sept. 3 right here at the Minnesota State Fair. “
- the Royal Restroom, sponsored by Charmin Ultra. “Want to freshen up in style? Not only does this bathroom provide Charmin, Bounty and Safeguard products, our sponsor has added flowers, music, television and air fresheners! “
