Death-defying escape at a fun reception

Well- since a picture is worth a thousand words... it saves me a lot of time, energy, and brain power if I just include a picture along with my post! (and less to read too!!) ;)

Here's my dilemna... I've lost my camera. (Momentarily.) I technically misplaced it last Saturday- the day of Seth & Jane's AZ reception. (Of course!) And am starting to get a little concerned... but I'm still hoping it will turn up here somewhere! However- I've delayed writing here, because I don't have my camera to include pictures!!

So... I'll do the best I can without it. Here's one picture I got off the internet to help describe my crazy weekend.
MMMMMmmmm... looks good- doesn't it?? Seth and Jane had all different kinds of yummy, homemade cheesecakes at their reception on Saturday night. (Kimballicious Cheesecakes!) I picked out a scrumptious chocolate/ caramel piece. I offered to share it with Emmy (because I didn't want to eat the whole thing!) I had eaten about 4 bites of it, when Emmy asked if any of them had nuts in them. I didn't think so, but I double checked with Kimball. He said, "actually the one you're eating does!" (CRAP!) I asked him what kind of nuts (hoping he would think peanut butter was a nut). He said there were pecans ground into the crust! PECANS!!!

PECANS ARE EEEEVIL!!!!! That's like the 3rd worst nut I can eat! (in regards to the severeness of the reaction!) Pecans are +4, and Brazil nut, my most deadly enemy, is +5! So it's right up there on the list! Crrrraaaaap!

Luckily, I had not consumed much (4 bites of scrumptious yumminess)- and was able to go home and get some drugs into my system fairly quickly- so the reaction wasn't as bad as it could have been. I still got a puffy face; itchy skin, and a few hives on the wrists. But all things considered, not bad. At least my eyes didn't swell up. (I hate that!!)

I cut out early from the reception. Not only to go home & get drugs, but also because I wanted to go to my last ward activity. Annie & I figured that odds are- my face would probably start to swell up right as I was talking to a cute guy. And- just like the movie Hitch- that would be the person I would be destined to be with! And for the record, yes, this is what happened. (But not too bad.) I was more aware of it than he was.

So... that was my Saturday. Dog training in the morning, uncooperative hair in the afternoon (of course!), a lost camera, and a daring escape from a pecan allergy in the evening. All in all, a good evening. (Fun reception.) I had a good time (other than that whole nut incident).

P.S. Since I rarely buy into conspiracy theories, I think the whole nut thing was just an accident. I don't think my Seth & Jane (or Kimball) was secretly trying to kill me. ;) But even if they were, I've foiled their plans once again!! Ah ha ha ha ha! Better luck next time!! ;)
