Things I'll never try again:

4/30/09

Hi everybody! I'm not gonna lie, I was really excited when I saw all my comments. I'm sure 5 isn't a lot compared to others BUT at least I got some! So I wasn't sure as to what to write about today, but luckily the room mates never fail to keep ideas and experiences from happening. Tonight after work I did some visiting teaching then retired to my lovely home to have a nice quiet remainder of the day. After taking a brief nap, Stuart came over with a movie. The movie was kind of boring so I went upstairs to browse the Internet (haha), and there was Serena.....oooh Serena. We were looking online at "how to do" certain things to improve our health. We found out that you can increase the size of your veins by eating a lot of Iron and vitamins. THEN, we found out if you take vitamin C with Iron it boosts the Iron amount. Since I was cutting my favorite fruit, the amazing MANGO she realized, "HEY! Mango's have Vitamin C! Let's take some Molasses because it has iron in it!" Serena is very wise and knows what she is talking about, and got really excited with this idea, so obviously, I'm going to be pumped! She takes her molasses out of the cupboard and gets two spoons out. She says that we have to take two spoon fulls, so I ask her what it'll taste like (I am THEE worst at swallowing anything other than beverages) she replies and says "Nasty, but just don't let it hit your tongue." I knew right then this was going to turn out badly.

I get myself ready for the first take. I stand in front of her, slightly bended knees, hands out in front of me, then wonder why I look like I'm about to get tackled in a football game. Then Serena Asks the question you should never ask anyone you are about to give nasty medicine to; "Ready?" she says. I don't know if anyone is ever ready to taste what I was about to taste next. She puts the spoon in my mouth, and scrapes the remainder of what is on the spoon off on my teeth to make sure I get ALL of it. I feel it go down my throat and think "Hey this isn't too bad" but then my taste buds turn back on after I stop holding my breath..... thus begins the dry heaving. My gag reflexes are awesome, and I rarely ever do that "fake about to throw up" thing/noise, but THIS was DISGUSTING! next thing I know I'm running around shoving whatever is closest in my mouth trying to get some actually good taste on my tongue. Serena is Laughing by the counter. I Decided at that moment that I would never take raw molasses EVER again and that I probably won't be able to eat Molasses Cookies in my life. I also realized that I would never be able to taste black licorice the same way. Why you ask? because I am not joking when I say Molasses tastes like rotten, moldy, expired Black Licorice. Well, I hope today's blog made sense. It's getting late and I'm kinda just babbling on but I hope it's somewhat entertaining for you =) I've also Attached some funny/cute random pictures. Mostly of me and Payton Mae (Amanda's Oldest) Thanks for reading!
