What a great time last night! Ryan and I went on a double date with our friends, Bridgit & Nate, to the Old Spaghetti Factory and then to the Twins game. Probably the most boring game in the history of baseball, play wise, but I really didn't watch much of the game.
I spent, oh I'd say, 104% of the time talking with my BFFOIKYA Bridgit--it was totally the only reason I was there. So much fun!!! Bridgit and I have been BFF's since the first day of Kindergarten...I got on the bus, much anticipating my first day of school and looking forward to meeting the little girl my dad had told me about. I saw her sitting in the front seat and I said, "Are you the little Bergloff girl that lived down the chicken barn road?". That did it! We have been BFF's ever since! :)
In reference to my latest poll...sometimes I don't know where conversations originate from between Bridgit and myself, but they are always interesting! So last night as we are sitting there, the hot dog vendor comes by. I hate hot dogs, and I particularly hate the way they smell. So does Bridgit. And this was our conversation (I may be paraphrasing a bit):
Ehlan: "I'm so thankful I have this amazing talent to plug my nose without having to physically plug it with my hands."
Bridgit: "What's so amazing about that, I can do it, can't everyone?
Ehlan: "No! They can't! I have (oddly enough) had many conversations with people about this topic and most people have NO idea what I am talking about or ANY idea of how to do it! Ryan can't do it!"
Bridgit: "I wish I could ask Nate right now if he could do it." (He was sitting at the opposite end of the row from her)
Ehlan: "Just lean over and ask him."
Bridgit: (eye rolling) "No, I'll just wait, he'd probably get annoyed!"
Ehlan: "okay. Suit yourself. Do you want me to play telephone through Ryan and ask him?"
Bridgit: (more eye rolling) "No."
The rest of the conversation involved a lengthy discussion of what we actually do when we plug our noses without using our hands and deciding upon a name for this amazing talent. Bridgit likes "globules"...I like just "closing your nose flaps". So, I decided it would be an interesting poll. How many of you can close your globules or nose flaps?
If you don't know what I am talking about, you probably can't do it. :)

People can't do this? I would've died of inhaled stench a long time ago if I didn't have this special gift.
Oh, and Nate probably would've been annoyed, but I would've asked him anyway just to irk him and get a laugh out of it.
Wow, I sound like the best person to hang out with -- lots of eye rolling??? :(
And he'd only be annoyed b/c we'd be talking over a million people (ok two) and he wouldn't have been able to hear me or understand what the heck "globules" and "nose flaps" were, so he'd get frustrated, then annoyed... He's not that easily annoyed. :)
Seriously though, way too much fun last night! I can't wait to go to another incredibly boring twins game with you guys!! :)
What? There are people who don't know how to close their nose flaps without using their hands? Hmmmmmm....I thought everyone had this ability.... I'll have to go ask Dan about it now.
Wow! I am seriously impressed that there are others like me! :) I'm not kidding that MANY people I have this conversation with (I'm really not crazy) have NO idea what I am talking about!! Maybe my talent really ISN'T so amazing...that makes me a little sad!
By the way, let me know if your spouses have this talent!!
I can. It's how I survive in a public library
Oh, and Nate can close his globules. :)
I've been sitting here trying to close off my nose flaps for about 5min. I think I need an in-service. I'd like to be in the club. It's seems like a usefull skill. I can tri-fold my tongue. Does that count for something??? Please??? :)
Well, I CANNOT close my globules/nose flaps, however God has gifted me with another form of this talent...the inability to smell at all.
You guys are too funny!
