allergist

i went to the allergist in baltimore this week. 

caitlyn has meet her match. i'm allergic to all things outdoors. i knew i had allergies, but i had NO idea that i was allergic to everything. my arms still itch two days after the pricks.

some might think this is bad news. not really. i mean, i'd have allergies whether i knew exactly WHAT i was allergic to or not. so now we can at least treat it. :) here we come, shots twice a week.

the best part of this trip to the doctor though, was that he LOVES mormons. he is from india, and loves all mormons, and called me sweetie at least 15 times. "oh sweetie, i'm afraid you're allergic to everything." or "oh sweetie, you don't know what normal feels like, you're always stuffed up." (this, by the way, is not how i deduced he loves mormons. we talked at length about mormons, including famous politicians, crazy people who aren't really mormon but claim to be, and the faith in general. he was really concerned about my ability to find someone to date here in baltimore. REALLY concerned.)

What a sweet allergist. I can hear him in his Indian accent. Super cute.
Also they did it on your arms? I had it done on my back my ENTIRE back.

Good luck with those shots! I love the doctor...reminds me of the guy from India who was concerned about my dating status after getting my blood drawn. He told me that boys don't like girls with bruises. Hhhhmmm. That must have been my problem all along.
