Hi!
Today is the first day back to my normal schedule, so I apologize for the lateness in this blog. Last week was Jon’s spring break, the weekend before that I was in Dallas and had SO much fun! I got to meet several of you (YAY!!) and had an amazing time seeing old friends and making new ones.
I have a lot of extended family in Dallas, so I was able to catch up with them as well – it’s so weird to see how much my cousins have grown up! Part of me hates it, but then again, there’s lots of good things that come with getting older (like Jon), so I guess it’s okay. 🙂 I got to see one of my best friends since the seventh grade who lives in Dallas too – awesome! So, between the Christian Book Expo and the Cheesecake Factory, I had an amazing weekend!
Here’s a few pics of me meeting some incredible girls at the Book Expo: 🙂
SUCH FUN!!!
So, last night, after hiding it for more than a year, Jon finally discovered something pretty awful about me. I think he knew about it, he just didn’t know the depth of it. And no, it’s not some tattoo thing like the lady had on Three Musketeers. I’m going to confess it to you just because I’ve heard confession is good for the soul.
I HATE MICE.
And not just hate in a “Oh, I don’t particularly like them” kind of a way. I hate them. I have panic attacks just thinking about mice. I could probably have made my living being a pole vaulter without the pole if someone just let a bunch of mice out behind me.
It happened because we were watching a show where someone rubbed their cheek with a mouse. DISGUSTING. Obviously, I flipped out.
I think Jon cried from laughing so hard last night. It started with him lightly touching my cheek with our fuzzy blanket so I’d begin shrieking and ended with him running his fingers up my arm like some horrendous creature.
Bleugh.
Despite the gross factor, last night was fun and silly and relaxing and a perfect way to end spring break.
I hope all of you are having a fabulous week!
Ugh, mice are nasty little creatures…gross. Last winter, they came creeping in our house, and when I found one in my pillowcase, I developed a hate for them. LOL. Yes, it was traumatizing, but sadly my brothers just thought it was funny ;(
The Christian Book Expo looks like so much fun!! I wish I could have been there, but alas, I live in Nebraska 🙂
Are you still doing the Series Giveaway on April 15th??
Mice are nasty! Almost as bad as worms. I’m glad you had a good time:)
Reminds me of that scene in Facing the Giants—the finding of the smell in the house part—how mean can your husband be, Erynn :)lol
Arianna, EW EW EW EW!!! I seriously would never recover from that. Oh, that’s awful!! It is not funny, and I’m sorry your brothers think so (mine would too). That has to be one of the grossest things in the world when mice get in. We had that happen a few times when I was a kid. ULGH!!
Merry Jane, I am still doing the giveaway! Send me an email with “Series Giveaway” in the subject line. 🙂
Sarah, I think mice are worse than worms, but worms are pretty nasty. I’ve always been okay with insects (except for crickets. I don’t like crickets), so it’s not quite as bad for me. I think everyone has something they can’t stand. Worms are yours, huh? 🙂
Em, he’s not too mean. 🙂 He usually is good about knowing when he’s gone too far with a joke. It’s a good quality to have in a guy!
Thanks for your comments, guys! 🙂
Kinda reminds me of the time I put worms in my pocket when I was little. Then they went through the wash. Horrifying experience… Never touched one since…
Ick I agree mice are gross. My bro once put a worm in my face and my mom followed. I screamed so loud people thought someone was dying. Oh and YAY cheescake factory.
hahaha! Poor Erynn… funny story though! 😉
Erynn…first, it looked like you had a fabulous time at the Book Expo!
Second…I totally can relate about the mouse thing. One time one got into our apartment. I stood up on the kitchen chair screaming and literally crying until my husband caught it. He walked two blocks and let it loose by a river near our house. I seriously thought I was going to need an ambulance. I was terrified. I HATE them too. I can’t express how much so. I’m with you girl! Blech!
Oh awesome! We made it to your blog! It was great meeting you, and i’m so glad i found my book! 🙂
