After a long hiatus from writing leave it to me to start up again with a post that is sure to horrify some. I am about to take a secret and blow it up, right here, right now. Blowing your nose in the shower. I'm a huge fan of this. I figured this was something everyone did until I read in 'Glamour' or 'Cosmo' years ago that everyone did not appreciate this habit. A girl actually wrote in and was considering breaking up with her boyfriend because she couldn't handle his water laden sinus empty-ing ways.
MFC's brother is also firmly against this act. However, I stand behind my belief that if you do not blow your nose whilst in a steamy hot shower, you are missing out on one of life's true joys. And to commit this act when you have a cold and can't breathe? Brilliant.
I admit, it is not the most lady like thing that I do but, I do it alone. It's not like I'm in the car picking my nose. MFC was extremely excited by my declaration, as he is about most things that I do that make me more like a dude than a lady. I think it's because it makes him feel more free to be himself or something..
So, about a month ago we were on a trip to visit his family in Nova Scotia. You really get to know someone during an 11 hour car ride and a week of both of you out of your comfort zone. I walk into the bathroom while he was in the shower (don't worry mom and dad, obviously he showers in a bathing suit) and I can see that at first glance he is not in the running shower. I look a little closer through the clear curtain and see that he is sort of..squatting in the shower..
Me: 'Um, babe? What are you doing?'
Him (with a tone that says..isn't it clear??): 'I'm blowing my nose'
Me: 'What are you on the ground?'
Him: 'I'm squatting'
Me: 'clearly!'
Him: 'That's how I blow my nose in the shower-I don't want it to get everywhere!'.
Obviously, this is an act best done alone.
