In hindsight, it might not have been the best idea ever to leave the little bottle of carpet cleaning fluid right next to the little bottle of coffee creamer.

    I hope you’re all okay!

    crap! Are you ALL ok?!

  3. Alice Says:

    I’m going to hold off on the laughing until I hear that you’re fine… because I’m THAT nice.

  4. Heather Corinna Says:

    Didn’t expect this would worry anyone, sorry!

    But no: feel free to laugh away — I’m fine. Once I got the coffee up near my nose to take a sniff, it smelled pretty bizarre, and it was then I realized my error.

    And thank christ, because having to call into work and tell them that I couldn’t go in because I put carpet cleaner in my own coffee would have resulted in my being the big joke at the clinic for years.

    Ok, good to know. I just had the laugh I was holding in. Next time you want a *special* flavor/chemical in your coffee, just try some Bailey’s cream or the new coffee flavored liquor that Starbucks makes!

    um, yeah…try the first cup plain, BEFORE you hurt yourself;-)

    glad you caught it, without the caffiene wakeup, seriously.
