I'm Mrs. Oh My Gosh That Brittny's Shameless

The Secret is Out

Apparently the entire freaking world knows that I sweat.

Yep. I’m a sweater.

Okay, so let me back pedal a little. Yes, I willingly informed “the whole world” about the misery of being here in the summer and the fact it’s so freaking hot that when you walk outside you begin to rain on everything around you, creating a small little well amongst dry arid sand- I admit that (In case you’re curious about my tirade on “sweat” you can read “The Old Blog” archives. I’m pretty sure from May-September I mentioned it every freaking day.)

HOWEVER!-

For someone ELSE to talk about my sweatiness?

Well, those are just fighting words!

That’s right.

You better be careful or a hurricane of my sweat will come flinging in a violent force to swallow you freaking whole!

Shudder

Yeah.

So yesterday I was walking to the BIDFY, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I saw two of my coworkers moving furniture around.

“Hi guys!” I said cheerfully. “Looks like you’re working hard!”

They agreed and made mention that it was too hot to be outside moving furniture.

“Good thing you’re not having to do it,” one said, “I hear you get really sweaty.

What!?

What the freaking crap was that!? Did someone just say that to me? Are you serious!?

Ah- I remembered.

One time the other guy I work with almost saw me “kill over.” According to him, that is.

We had to go to a building in early June to dig out some old archives. A building that wasn’t air conditioned. In June. In Kuwait. The Lake of Fire.

Wow. I started to sweat.

Imagine that!

Anyhow, he was all worried about me because my ultra pale face turned bright red from the heat and I started to sweat. “Are you going to be okay?” He kept asking.

I bet he said something!

“Did you tell Mouth over there that I sweat a lot?” I asked.

He just laughed and said yes. What a moron.

I laughed too and told him to shut up about my sweating. “I drink a lot of water. It’s healthy. So I sweat a little when it’s 5 MILLION DEGREES in this country. What!? Girls aren’t allowed to sweat!?!”

Do you know what he said to that?

“Yeah you do drink a lot of water! Did you notice I gave you an extra box last week when I delivered it?”

What a moron. So now now only am I a big bucket of sweat, but I’m also a camel. A big sweaty camel. Huh. 

First of all what an odd comment for someone to make to you! Second I’m right there with you. I admit, I’m a sweater too! At least you know you’re not alone!

That’s freaking crazy that he would even say that...but girl, I am so with you.  I have what I call the “Jennett Sweat” because I inherited it from my father and my cousin inherited it from his father (my father’s bro).  Mom and I can go to the gym and after an hour and a half workout, she’s barely broken a sweat if she even has...me?  I’m standing in the gym for more than 2 seconds, and I break into a sweat...imagine after an hour and a half of working out.  I was at Wal Mart Friday before last, I had been to a funeral earlier and went to the gravesite and stood there for what seemed like forever, then went to Wal Mart.  So, everytime I go in Wal Mart, I sweat no matter what...so I’m already hot and then I get hotter in there.  I’m standing in the check out line and this lady seriously thought I was going to pass out because my face was flaming red, and I had sweat pouring off of me.  I assured her I felt fine that I just get overheated really easily...everyone looks at me weird when I say “Jennett Sweat”, but those who know my family totally understand.  And lately, I’ve been a camel too...and they are very nice animals.  Ok I’ve rambled...<3

Um, if you didn’t sweat over there, you’d DIE. Really. They’re all just jealous that you do it better than they do.  Ha!

You big sweaty camel! Bring on the sweat. I hear you on that one. Have you tried the new secret clinical strength? I bought some but just forget to use it at night.

And yeah, that would totally throw me for a loop if someone mentioned my sweat! How nice of you to laugh it off.

i’d be a bit mortified. this is true.

i sweat pretty bad too, nothing sex-ay about it. i used to walk at lunch at the park a few blocks down from my job but one day it was particularly warm, and at the end of the walk, my 2 walking buddy co-workers were SHOCKED.

i never did it again.

I totally understand what you are saying.  I am in Houston right now as Kevin has class for work, and yesterday I took the kids to the zoo.  It was great, but I think I sweat 10 lbs off, although not a bad thing, but I literally was having trouble last night.  I was freezing in the room, even under the covers, and I was starting to have a stomach ache.  There is also a test of “capillary refill” where you press on your fingernail, and the color should return before you say those two words.  Mine didn’t have color before.  Probably not a good thing.  OH well.  I am now feeling a little better and am planning on staying out of the heat today.  Although my mind kept running to what “SS” said to “Eric L” when they went golfing, and I was definitly thinking about running to Walgreens to find a Banana.  Stay hydrated, and I will try to get rehydrated.
