Self Obs

[Nicole]

Okay, so I've had this cold that won't leave me alone for way too long now. It's not all that bad at the moment, but there's some residual stuff that I'm not enjoying. My nose is still intermittently stuffy and runny throughout the day, which of course just drives me batshit insane.

I went to the grocery store today to finally restock my fridge (but I still only came home with cereal, asparagus, and fat free hot dogs...I don't know what I'm doing). I decided before I went in that I was absolutely going to need to carry a tissue around with me, which I hate doing...I feel like everyone is looking at me, waiting for me to just spray my germs everywhere. But anyway, it had to be done.

So I'm walking through the grocery store, constantly wiping my nose and looking just positively horrific - red nose, watery eyes, looking like I should sleep for about the next thousand years. I'm standing by the asparagus when I feel this absolutely monstrous sneeze coming on, it was terrible...I have a REALLY hard time keeping them quiet and under control when I have a cold. So I stood there trying to choose my veggies, all the while with two fingers under my nose just waiting, right? When all of a sudden it came, and holy GOD...it effing REVERBERATED, no shit... 4 people in the damn produce aisle blessed me, one of them very enthusiastically, surely because my sneeze was so loud and obnoxious. I stood there with this kind of wide-eyed look on my face with a tissue up to my nose... Then I giggled nervously a bit and said, "Excuse me," as I blushed furiously and walked away.

Same thing happened in the cereal aisle, though this time there were 3. The first two were terrible attempts at stifles, and the third one was one of those loud, overwhelming cold sneezes. Then it happened again by the milk and 4 times while I was in line. That was a real good one because I was trying like hell to get my tissue, which I had momentarily put in my purse...the race to finish was close but the sneeze absolutely won. I only caught the last one in the tissue. I'm sure Mr. Cashier was NOT happy that he had to touch my credit card after that bit. But in my defense, I used hand sanitizer!

Bless you! I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy, but that was an amazingly great obs. You can come shop in my favorite grocery store anytime!

Right, that does it, you need a personal shopper. Shall I pop my CV in the post?

You know what it is, hon... I left your shopping list at home! I'm going back today after work though, so all is not lost. Buuuuuuuut....I still need a personal shopper. Now get over here. I will pay you in hugs, chocolate chip cookies, and an endless supply of carrot cake. Oh, and lots of love from P-Dogg.

And thanks so much, my dear friend.

Faints. Now , let's get this right; people don't bless you because your sneezes are loud and obnoxious, but because they're loud and gorgeous.

And you put your hankie in your bag? Are you sure that you weren't just planning to tease us all, and everyone in sight, by preparing yourself for a classic " sneezing while fumbling in a bag for a hankie" scenario?

Oh, that reverberation.

Trust a cashier who knows: ANY credit card is cheerfully accepted from anyone with a sexy sneeze.

I like how you were waiting with your fingers under your nose for the one sneeze -- that's cute.

Thanks for sharing!

*claws at her pillow* I like you =^.^=

I would be driving my little shopping cart right behind you all day long grabbing things randomly just to not look suspicious (and then showing up at home wondering what I'm gonna do with 23 kilos of vegetables and a collection of yogurts that I don't even eat )

Poor Nic, red nose, watery eyes, carrying a tissue around, god I love the pathetic "I've got a cold" look *meow* so really thanks for sharing

Hope you feel better soon (can that even sound sincere after all that coming from me? well I really do mean it... )

Be careful what you suggest, Nic. Dom isn't the only one who would line up for those items.

Supermarkets are the best place for female obs.....aside from buses, trains and planes.

Thanks guys!
