Two questions today…
1. Do you shower in the morning or at night? This always has me curious. I switch on and off. Showering at night lets me sleep in a little later in the morning (this is key), but then again I like showing in the morning (or at least after the kids get dropped off at school) better. I feel like it just starts the day off better for me personally.
2. Have you ever been stung by a bee? This is SO random, but we were at the Cider Mill yesterday and the bees were everywhere. I mean, they always are around the Cider Mill so it’s to be expected (see what I did there), and I was curious how many people have been stung? I have not (and hope never to be), but I suspect that somewhere along the lines B has been. He was a farm boy growing up so I just assume he has been? My cousin has some hives and has gotten stung a time or two and it hasn’t been pretty! I am assuming you just don’t know how it’s going to affect you until you actually get stung huh?
1. Night. My hair takes too long to blow dry in the morning (and I get too hot) so I let it air dry when I go to bed.
2. Once when I was little on my arm and once when I was in high school, I was walking around barefoot and and it stung my pinky toe… worst pain I have ever had in my life and it was sore for the longest! I didn’t have a reaction outside of the sting either time.
Do you leave it up or down when you go to bed? Mine was still wet when I went to bed and I had it up and it was still just as wet in the morning!
I either wear it down or put it in a loose french braid. Unfortunately I have kind of wavy (not in a good way) hair and I have to fix everyday regardless, so it doesn’t really matter what it looks like when I wake up… I always have a major case of bed head in the morning!! 🙂
Yes I’ve been stung and it hurts forever and once bees in my straw so tongue stung lucky not my throat…and most times shower both..too active ..sleep better…and feel better a.m. and work close to people in dentistru
OMG bees in your straw?? OUCH!
Yea was in the middle of doing a garage sale at a vacan5 house by myself 100 degrees …my neighbor brought me ice for my tongue..
1. I always shower in the morning. It wakes me up.
2. We were at the cider mill this weekend as well. I was standing in line when I felt the sting. I was just standing in line and got stung in the hand. The only other time I was stung was when I was little.
“I was standing in line when I felt the sting”! I love the way you said that! How bad was it???
1. On workdays I shower at night because I like to sleep as much as possible. Weekends or vacations = morning shower.
2. I’ve been stung a couple times (as a kid and teenager), mainly by stepping on them. My brother, dad, and sister in law have all been stung in the last few years – two by squishing or almost stepping on the bee/hornet/wasp, and my dad had one in his drink and got it in the mouth! Ouch!!!
1. In the morning-I used to shower at night, but now I workout every morning and so I (obviously) would just have to shower again–I miss showering at night though because I have curly hair and hate to blow it dry–I have a habit of going to work with my hair wet, but it dries quickly and luckily no one mentions it 🙂
2. I don’t think so? I have a vague memory of possibly getting stung as a kid though. My dad is allergic, so I hope that if I’m ever stung I am not!
1. I used to be an always before work to wake up but then I started at night before bed. Since I’ve been sick, it’s when I have the energy to shower/bath without passing out.
2. yes and I’m very allergic – worst was stepping on one on our honeymoon in Jamaica and the bees seem to be more aggressive this year.
1. Usually at night, but I wear my hair up a lot so it doesn’t matter if I go to bed with it a little damp.
2. I actually just got stung about 2 weeks ago for the first time in probably 15 years! I’ve been stung before so I knew I wasn’t allergic, but oh my gosh I didn’t remember how bad it hurts! I was just coming home from work and a bee flew up my calf length skirt and got stuck, then stung my leg. 🙁 I could hardly walk it hurt so bad. I stuck an ice cube on it right away and either that helped or the coldness distracted me, but I had a swollen leg for a week. My husband has honeybees and I’ve heard those aren’t as bad (they are actually pretty stinking cute and docile), but this little bugger was a wasp or something nasty like that.
1. I shower in the morning typically, though on the weekends it’s usually more evening time before heading out for where ever I might be going.
2. UGH! BEES! I was riding my little rescue horse this summer one evening, and we were walking over a flower box (baby steps toward teaching him to jump). Well he bumped into the flower box with his foot, and apparently there was a wasps nest in it! They came out like you see in the cartoons and attacked us both! He spun around in circles trying to get away, dumping me in the process. I’m not sure how many times he was stung but I got stung twice: on the shoulder and MY EYELID! It was awful. I had a black eye for a week and a half. I didn’t have the type of reaction that leaves you unable to breathe, but I did finally have to get steroids to help with the swelling.
1. morning, don’t feel awake if I don’t
2. Yes. While gardening with gloves. It swelled up but I didn’t notice until I took the gloves off hours later. Apparently it got infected but antibiotics cleared it right up.
I mostly shower in the mornings unless I have something I have to get up REALLY early for. Then I’ll take a bath at night and use dry shampoo in the morning. When I don’t straighten my hair, I HAVE to shower in the morning because my hair is CRA-ZY in the morning.
I’ve been stung….one time when I was little between my toes and my foot swelled up like a balloon. So painful. AND, one time I was taking my husband to the hospital (he was running up cement steps and jammed his foot and thought he broke it). He was riding in the back seat moaning like he was giving birth and the windows were open. A bee flew through the window and went right down the back of my dress, I could feel it crawling on my back. I started screaming and swerving and he calmly sat up from the back and freaking smacked my back and smashed it–it stung my back and then fell and bit me or stung me again (maybe it was a wasp or a yellow jacket) and I got out of my car in the middle of the road and pulled my dress over my head until it fell out. (I hate bugs of any kind). While at the hospital my back had hives all over it and since they knew me (I worked there) the nurse gave me Benadryl. But I was PO’d that he smashed it ON MY SKIN. lol.
