What is Wrong With This Picture?


I think it's pretty obvious. Gross, I know.

Yesterday, while I was at work, I had to get up from my desk and make some copies. At the same time, our beloved FedEx man dropped in with a delivery.

{I'm not sure if I've mention this before, but we have the same FedEx man come to our office, every time. He is always saying the weirdest things to me...and that is why he is so beloved.}

As I was signing for our package, I smelled some really strong BO (A.K.A Body Odor). This is not an unusual thing for the FedEx man, or the UPS man, because they're running around all day in the occasionally warm weather. So, I thought it was him. However, after he left, I kept on smelling it. The smell kept on lingering, and a thought finally occurred to me...Well, I am a little sweaty. So I nonchalantly took a little whiff, and WHOA. Ok, A LOT sweaty. I was SO embarrassed! I text my husband right then, and he said, "Your gross. What is wrong with you?" Which made me feel so much better about my situation. Not only did I shower this morning, but right after, I applied my favorite deodorant and body spray, as I do every morning.

{I tend to get a little bit OCD about my routine in the morning. It goes in a particular order, so I know I didn't forget this important aspect of my morning routine!}

Needless to say, I was mortified, and even more so when anyone would get within a 5 ft radius of me, because I was afraid they would be able to smell me! This was Bad News Bears, for sure. Fortunately, I have the fun job of picking up lunch everyday for work.

{I really do love it, it gives me a chance to get out of the office during the day. I am also fortunate enough to have a boss that buys me lunch...everyday! }

I made a pit stop. There was no way I was going through the rest of the day smelling like the Bag Lady. I was able to reapply and get the situation under control. For a time. I had this problem ALL DAY!!!! I don't think I have ever used to much deodorant in one day. And yes, it was an antiperspirant!

What is wrong with me?? I have never had this problem in my entire life!! Even when I've ran 7+ miles! Is there some kind of weird overproduction of the sweat glands when your pregnant?? If so, someone should have warned me! I'm willing to bet that this is probably the case and all of you mothers out there are having yourselves a good laugh.

There needs to be a book called, "Weird Things Your Body Does When your Pregnant." Because honestly....there really are SO MANY wierd things that your body does. Fortunatly I have a very food friend who was willing to share some of these things with me. The sweating thing, however, was not mentioned. I actually bought the book, "What to Expect While Expecting", and I'm not sure I have crossed this issue in my readings.

Also, I'm not having a problem with this issue at all today, which I am completely thankful for. I decided it would be a good idea to keep my travel size deodorant with me at all times...just in case....
