He saw me wipe snot on my shirt!
For those of you who never seem to believe that I am actually a HUGE dork (and I think the number of people who still believe this is getting smaller and smaller with each post), here’s some hard evidence. Dorks of the world, you’ll appreciate this. : )
So I’m out on my morning run this morning, carrying along with my typical routine, typical route, etc. I’m chugging along, huffing and puffing, etc. This is exactly why I always try to wear a cute outfit when I’m out running – to make up for the fact that I turn into a sweaty, curly-haired mess with a tortured look on my face. At least my butt will look good, right? Anyway, I hit a walking break and decide to relieve myself of a runny nose that has been bothering me for the last several minutes. Instead of continually sniffling (which gets really annoying after a while), my typical solution is to make sure no one is looking and then blow my nose into my hand, shake it off, and wipe whatever’s left on my shirt. Hey, I never said exercise was glamorous! It gets the job done, so who cares. So I proceed to blow, shake, and wipe, and I feel so much better now that my airways are clear again.
BUT… little did I know that a young-looking, cute-looking, “nice Jewish boy” type was jogging up behind me just as I was finishing the transfer of leftover snot from my hand to my tank top. He jogs past me (as I’m still on my walking break), smiles, offers a polite “good morning!,” and jogs on past. I flash him a smile and offer a “morning!” back, still wiping my hand against my shirt. OH MY GOD this was so embarrassing, you have no idea. I mean, I think people know that exercise is messy, but guys, wouldn’t you be totally grossed out if you saw a girl do that? I was DYING.
But I made a mental note to track his path for a while, and I was going to try to catch up to him, but alas, he vanished into the “nice Jewish boy” black hole, never to be seen again. Arrrgghhh!!
I guess I’m better off in the end, actually. Imagine if we wound up together – he’d be telling our grandkids that he fell for me with snot still dripping off my hand. Aww, how incredibly romantic – hahaha. : )
I am so sending you tissues.:P

May 24th, 2009 at 12:26 pmYou’ve heard of this thing called Kleenex, right? It’s convenient enough that you can put it in your pockets, or at least tuck it into your waistband or sports bra.
May 24th, 2009 at 3:58 pmGray and Michael – Yes, yes, I have those little tissue packs that conveniently fit anywhere you might need to stuff them. But (a) I don’t want to carry anything extra when I run (ID and keys only), and (b) it’s actually kinda fun to be gross every once in a while. Can you imagine being all proper with a tissue while out jogging? Nah, I’ll stick with the hand/shirt method… I just have to get better about making sure the coast is clear first. : )

casualencounters – Hmm, you get turned on by snot? I’m making a mental note…
Saturn V – No way!!! I’ll have to remember that for next year. Yay geeks!
May 25th, 2009 at 7:00 pmMaybe a jogger would be turned off by that, but a runner would not. But a simple solution that would make everyone happy is to just run in your sports bra and utilize the farmer’s blow.
May 25th, 2009 at 9:19 pmJonsi – What’s the farmer’s blow?
May 25th, 2009 at 10:57 pmOMG, that was gross. Tuck a tissue in your bra! lol
Is the farmer’s blow when you turn your head, plug one nostril with your finger, and then blow hard so that the snot shoots out of the other nostril? You don’t blow it into your hand, it is just blown into the air. I’ve seen guys do that….
May 26th, 2009 at 4:17 pmRachelle – Ewww! I’d much rather do my hand/shirt method than the farmer’s blow – gross!! Then again, my tissue-less method is pretty gross too. : )
May 26th, 2009 at 8:22 pmDude, that would be totally hot. N1 DD, try not too reel too many hotties in at once lol!
