I Almost Killed My Best Friend and Lived to Tell the Tale!!!!! Oh and Then I Saw a Movie.

So you all know The Rusty. I talk about him all the time.
Just a refresher:
I love the kid.
He's like my brother, one of my best friends ever.
And tonight I was almost the death of him.
Fact: Rusty is DEATHLY allergic to ALL peanuts in ANY, WAY, SHAPE, or FORM.
Like, one bite and he could like drop dead!!!!
So tonight The Jessica's and I made a Dairy Queen run for 4 blizzards.
Reeses for Jessica #1, Reeses for Jessica #2, Cookie Dough for Rusty and Butterfinger for Parker.
Well I'm getting in the car trying to figure out which one is which and thinking I have it right, give each Jessica what I THOUGHT was a Reeses Blizzard.
Then we get back to Kairleigh's and I go inside and give what I THINK is the Cookie Dough and Butterfinger to Parker and Rusty.
Then I go back out to the car, and the Jessica's proceed to tell me that they are currently eating a BUTTERFINGER and COOKIE DOUGH Blizzards.
OH.MY.GOODNESS.
My. Heart. Stopped.
I fumbled to get the car door open but couldn't find the handle, finally I RUN PELL MELL through the yard and into the house, the minute I'm inside I'm screaming:
"RUSTY DON'T EAT IT"
As I get into the room they were in I'm still screaming and freaking out and he goes
"I didn't eat it. We smelt it."
THANK.GOODNESS.
I walked out of the room thinking:
"WHAT IF HE HAD EATEN IT!?!?!?"
And just the thought was too much for me.
I started BALLING my eyes out!!!!
I don't think I'd ever been so relieved or felt so stupid in my entire life!
Of course, Rusty heard me crying and came out to make sure I was okay.
HE was making sure that I was okay!
HE WAS THE ONE WHO COULD HAVE DIED!!!!
AND HERE HE WAS COMFORTING ME!!!!
Just holding me and letting me cry, reassuring me that he was perfectly fine, it wasn't my fault.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Okay, call me a drama queen, tell me I'm crazy.
Actually don't.
I don't wanna hear it.
Maybe I'm prone to overreact to these kinds of things but you have NO IDEA how scary that was.
*sighs at the recollection*
Lesson Learned:
ASK FOR DQ TO TELL YOU WHICH BLIZZARD IS WHICH!!!!!!!!!
After that dramatic episode....it was time for some Silver Screen Drama!!!!!
I read this book two summers ago and
FELL.IN.LOVE.
When I saw they were making it into a movie I was so happy I almost fainted!
So needless to say, when Sister Emily called me up tonight to go see it I HAD to say yes.
So here's the deal, I know most of you are going to see this and I don't want to ruin anything for you so just let me say this:
They changed ALOT of things!!!!
And I'm not sure how I feel about it all!
Somethings I thought they got spot on.
Others they changed to the point of me wanting to yell:
"WHAT THE HECK???????????????"
But some of the liberties they took, I thought, really helped the story and made it a great movie.
So yeah I guess this is kind of a lame review.
But I'm way interested in hearing what you all have to say about it.
We must discuss!!!
Have a Fabulous weekend!!!!!

First of all. I can totally see why you went running in the house to save Rusty and why it scared you so much. That peanut allergy is SO SERIOUS!! Oh my - I was on the edge of my seat reading your account and even though I knew Rusty was going to be OK (I mean you wouldn't be writing it if he died) I was scared with you! Srsly!!! What a sweet friend you two have.

I read Dear John last month and I loved the book - so far have seen a couple of interesting reviews of the movie so I figured they must have changed a bunch of stuff.
They did that with "My Sisters Keeper" too - they changed the entire ending in fact, and it kind of ticked me off. It is very interesting how they take so many liberties with someone elses work. Oh well. I will probably see it anyway :D
Hope you are having a great weekend Nat!!

My word verification is: dineturd - No lie -ha ha

AW! That is so scary! I would have done the same thing, no lies.

I am just going to wait for this movie to come out in RedBox because.. well, it's like 10 bucks to see a movie. LAME.

AmyK said...

I freaking would have cried my face off, too! Gosh! That's scary stuff!

This is why we ALWAYS get cookiedough blizzards--that way you ALWAYS know what you're getting and if they get mixed up, who cares! They're all the same! Hurrah!

Chloe said...

Awww I'm so sorry for you!! I would have reacted the same way: like a drama queen... crying and crying...
But I'm glad everything turned out well in the end :)

I have not seen that movie- nor read the book! Do I need to get with it or what :p

Btw, I had to say I saw your NBA announcement on your side bar and laughed out loud! I need to get my husband hooked up with that program (;
