Twilight and My New Near Death Experience



Ok, so I'm a HUGE Twilight fan and so Sam sent me a "motivational" poster. I had a pretty good laugh about it so I decided to share this with you all! :)
I also have to tell you guys about my new "near death" experience. So for the past couple of days I've been sick with yet another cold (it's almost a monthly thing now!) and I was laying on the couch eating Hershey's kisses. I just put a kiss in my mouth when I had to cough. So I inhaled to cough and I swallowed the kiss whole. I panicked and ran into the bathroom where Sam was. I started screaming that I was choking!! I then started throwing up and coughing to try to get the kiss out of my airway!
Luckily, Sam and I had recently gotten first aid/CPR certified, so Sam knew exactly what to do . . . nothing! Sam knew that because I was screaming, the kiss wasn't completely blocking my airway and so he knew not to do the Heimlich Maneuver that my body would eventually remove it. He did get me a glass of water, which I devoured, and the kiss eventually dissolved. Thank goodness for the CPR training and that he knew what to do! So Sam is now my hero! :).

Wow. It was almost the kiss of death. That kiss took your breath away. :) I'm glad you're okay and your husband knew what to do!

Your blog background, header, and photo look fantastic!
