Life Is Peachy

So my “New Years Goals”…#3…eat a peach… I feel I must explain to those who do not know of my freak-iod-ness with this.

I am allergic to fresh fruits and vegetables. No. Like for seriously. I do not make this shit up!

Pickled, frozen cooked…all good. But fresh picked BC fruit…and it’s off to the ER we go. Not all, but most of them. It’s easier for me to list the things that I can eat than it is the things I can’t.

I have gone all shades of red and purple. Quasimodo style with the swollen eye and all. Ranging from minor occasions with hives and wanna-tear-your-skin-off itching, to full on face plant into the side walk anaphylactic style (not one of my finer nights out).

I have not had an apple since I was about 12 years old and it has been trial and error for the last 15 years…mostly error. 

(BTW: Shout out to mom! She's a great person to hang out with in emerg...the stories we have made up over the years of other visitors...)

But I digress...

The point is that the thing I crave the most is a peach.

So one day next year, I will do it! I'll have a phone-a-friend with me. Say, my hubby or a girl friend (just in case it gets really bad). I will have a fresh, delicious juicy perfectly ripened peach in my hands. I will park myself outside, directly in front of the Emergency Department doors…and take a bite....and feel the juice drip down my face.

And hope I don't die. 

The thought of it almost makes me break out in hives…

But OMG…I want it so bad!!!

Wish me luck! I can't wait to blog about that adventure if I don't chicken out....because like, I'm not joking. Thinking of it kinda makes me itch... 

So just for funzies, a little sharing with you. The first time I saw this scene I just about peed myself…k…maybe I did a bit. Very close to home!

Cheers!
