No bathtub fights today... could have fought with a stool though :)

It is my life long goal to make a big ol' fool of myself! Today I was going to participate in a research study at work where you get skin allergy test on your forearm. Basically they do a couple of small injections and some skin pricks. Now, I never really have like needles, but I thought $50 sounded pretty good. So, I got the first round of pricks and injections, and it wasn't that bad. Got up and went back to resume my position back at the reception desk, and then it hit me. I wan't feeling real stable so I went to sit down in back of the desk area. Apparently I was really pasty... and I think I would have passed out if I hadn't sat down on the floor. It was very embarrassing, and I didn't finish the test. The nurse who was doing it didn't think it was such a good idea... especially if they wanted me to work the whole day : ) I don't understand why I get so freaked out by needles... when I actually see them it doesn't bother me at all, but my brain must do something subconsciously or something. Anyway, that was my excitement for the day. Everyone at work was really nice though, got me applejuice and popcorn to snack on : ) I love the people I work with!!
