I had the hiccoughs. Not the normal, simply annoying kind of hiccoughs. No. The painful-omg-these-are-never-going-to-stop kind. I know you’ve had them at least once. And they suck.
After nearly an hour of the hiccough-ouch beat filling the living room, my husband got fed up enough to scare me half to death. Sure. The hiccoughs were annoying for him. Despite nearly making me pee myself, his attempt was futile.
After dealing with a brown out in the apartment (don’t ask me what that is, I’m still not sure I know), these hiccoughs were the last thing I needed. Have you ever tried to go to sleep with painful hiccoughs in an apartment that’d been without AC for over an hour? Yeah. It’s impossible. I watched the clock, and the old lady who lives inside of me cringed as it inched closer to 10 without any relief.
Wha-hiccough-tever. I’m havi-hiccough ouch-ng an ic-hiccough ouch-e cream cone. hiccough ouch. Ca-hiccough-n’t hurt.
Hopefully, I filled the waffle cone with scoop after scoop of creamy chocolate, carefully balancing as the hiccoughs ripped through my body.
I almost lost hope when I inhaled my first lick directly into my lungs. It hurt, sure. But anything compared to the devil hiccoughs themselves paled.
And there I sat, looking up Sam Smith lyrics (newly obsessed after attending his concert on Saturday), enjoying lick after lick.
It wasn’t until I reached the cone, taking my first bite, that I realized omg. They’re gone.
And that, my friends, is how ice cream saved my life.
**In all seriousness, friends, your support from yesterday has me feeling all the feels. Things are happening and I can’t wait to share!**

Ha! See, ice cream is seriously a crucial part of our lives 😉 Girl, I'm so obsessed with Sam Smith. His album has been on constant repeat for so long, loveeee!
that sounds awful….but you know what ice cream solves all problems! Clearly it's a necessary, and I will be eating some tonight when I get home for the prevention of hiccoughs 😉

Ice cream has been known to make everything better.
ice cream for the win!
I am so glad to hear you are still alive. Now you can sell your idea for millions… or you could write your next book on it! 🙂
Ice cream is certainly the best! 😉
Ugh I hate those kind of hiccups, especially when they last forever! I'm so glad the ice cream saved you! 🙂
Further proof that ice cream fixes everything.

Boo. Hiccups are the WORST. Gracie got them something awful when she was a baby. (That I can even say "when she was a baby" just kills me. Ugh.) Gripe water always helped her. Maybe they make some for adults? Ha.
I have this SUPER annoying hiccups.. they seriously sound like a donkey bay. I wish I was kidding, I'm not. It's embarrassing. I once got saved by someone else's cigarette, which is nasty, but I'd been hiccuping for over 30 minutes and my body was exhausted and my head was hurting and everyone was annoyed. It solved the problem. I prefer to not repeat that solution.
So what you are saying is we all need to eat more ice cream right??? Those are the freaking worst and I am glad you finally found some relief, friend! Excited to hear what is happening for you!!!
See, I knew ice cream could fix anything!!
ice cream wins all the awards!
so, like, i might be stupid, but are hiccoughs like hiccups but you cough as well? i have never had that, it sounds horrible! i do sound like a little toy dog when i have the hiccups though, annoys everyone around me.
Hahaha, omg. Yes! I love this! xo
