Super sniffer

Funny, yet semi gross thing happened yesterday....  Let me preface this with the fact that I have always had a keen sense of smell even before I was pregnant.  However, now that I am pregnant, it has become my super power.  I know this happens to most pregnant people but I am telling you my olfactory system is in over drive beyond belief.  I could seriously save some lived with this thing.  For instance, Kyle once opened a bottle of wine across the house and I could smell it (okay, that's not life saving but it just smelled wonderful).  In church I will smell perfume on people and be able to warn my mom LONG before it affects her horrible allergies and she gets really sick.  I can identify what's for dinner at my grandfather's retirement home before walking in the front door.  It's pretty handy most of the time.
Now for the funny, yet semi gross situation yesterday.  Kyle got me a gift card for a prenatal massage.  I went yesterday and overall the massage was awesome!  The only issue was that I could tell that my massage therapist had eaten something with garlic...AND I could tell that she had done so with only her right hand!  It was totally garlic knots and I knew it.  So I was striking up conversation to prove it!  I said something along the lines of "I should have known better than to book a massage at 4:30, it's right in the middle of my normal dinner time and now I am starving.  I will have to get food on my way home."  She said, "I just ate right before my shift started.  There is this great pizza place up the street and they have the best garlic knots!"  I KNEW IT!!
Fortunately, I love garlic AND I watched her wash her hands so I was totally grossed out by it but it definitely made for an interesting massage.

  1. This totally cracked me up! :) I had a prenatal massage at Massage Envy when I was about 36 weeks preggo, and the guy that gave me a massage was super awkward and actually asked me (before the massage, mind you!) if I was lactating. Uh, what?? I should've known from right then that it wasn't going to be worth it. I would have totally rather been smelling garlic knots the whole time ;)
