Well, mostly I’ve just done some meme’s today, or “thought provoking questions found in one blog, and answers posted in another, to promote the blogosphere”. Or whatever! I haven’t really posted much personal lately, because things have been fairly quiet, and life is trudging along quite smoothly. Just not exciting, nothing “noteworthy” to blog about.
So, since this blog is mundane, here’s another mundane thing.
I had the hiccups earlier. Which is not unusual for me, I get them a lot. I have this peculiar habit of always getting the hiccups in groups of three; I get them about 3 times in a 24 hour time span, usually, and then I will go weeks before I get them again. This is unlike Tim – whom I swear I can’t remember him ever getting the hiccups. For me – when I get them, I have to have peanut butter. It’s the only thing that works for me.
Although, I got them when we went geocaching a few weekends ago, and Tim tried twice to scare them out of me – the second time, he caught me off-guard and scared the bejeebers out of me, and I had had the hiccups for probably 20 minutes, and he was able to “scare them out of me”. 
He was very proud of himself!!!!!!
Normally, the only thing that works for me is peanut butter. Not breathing in a bag, tried that. Not drinking water upside down (GAIL), I tried that and it does not work for me! Not eating sugar (although I rather enjoyed that experiment!). Not holding my breath, although trying to slow down and control my breathing does seem to help them be less severe. No, I’ve tried lots of things, and for me, and maybe me alone, peanut butter is the only thing that works.
So, suffice it to say – I have had peanut butter today. I also just polished off a whole pack of LifeSavers. Yes, I’ve been seriously craving sweets. I can only go so long (for me, a couple of days at most) without something sweet. Or lots of something sweets. Life is SO dull without chocolate or sweet things to brighten your day, don’t you agree!
OK, faithful readers – post your cures for hiccups. If you’re one of the unlucky ones like me that get them from time to time. If you’re like Tim (or you are Tim), don’t bother posting a comment, you sorry dog. Why don’t all you people get gut-wrenching, chest-hurting, crazy hiccups like I do? It just ain’t fair! 😀
