Salsa Disaster!
Last night, while I was on the living room couch, working on the computer, I got a call from a professor that I had been wanting to talk to very badly. It was about my application to grad school and I had been waiting for his call in eager anticipation. He gave me good news and I was so excited that I jumped off the couch.... Unfortunately, I had been eating chips and salsa just before his call. As I blasted off the couch I accidentally spilled almost all of the salsa on the couch. This isn't just any salsa. It is probably the most garlic intensive salsa I've ever had (you know the one, Dee). Needless to say, it is around 7am and our entire living room smells like a garlic factory. Ashley knew what happened last night, but the full effect of the spilled salsa hadn't reared its ugly head until now. So far Ashley and Kimball haven't woken up yet and I'm worried about what is going to happen to me, so I'm posting this on the blog in case I go missing....Seriously though, I have no idea how we will ever be able to sit on the couch again without our eyes watering... I can hardly be in the living room without feeling like I just took a bath in Dave's famous garlic spaghetti sauce. Help me... please.

Baking soda! It does wonders for sucking up smells. It's usually better when it's wet, though.
Club soda!
Honestly, I couldn't smell it when I came out into the living room this morning. But that could be because I was pretty stuffed up. Thanks for your suggestions! I've already sprinkled baking soda and sprayed Febreze, so hopefully those will do the trick. I'm not sure, but the cushion covers may even come off, and then I'd be able to put them through the wash.
To make Jordan feel better, I told him that I had spilled milk on that same cushion a few weeks earlier. Yuck, our couch is getting pretty gross!
LMAO!!! Jordan, you crack me up! I have no idea what to do for your couch. We have a little green machine (bissell) that usually works. But if any knew what has happened all over my couches (one word: pukerella) NO ONE would ever sit on them again!
Garlic intensive salsa sounds so good! Thanks for giving me the craving!!!
When we finally spent the money on a decent couch we draped a blanket over it for the first year (a matching blanket of course, nothing hideous). I couldn't bear the thought of Logan spitting up all over it (he spit up a lot). Now, 2 kids climb all over it. It still looks good and I try to wipe stuff off right away, but it will need a cleaning soon.
Jordan? Hey, Jordan! What happened to Jordan? Something fishy is going on around here . . . what happened to that guy?
From these comments I am now considering carrying my own Ronco Personal Plastic Seat Protector with me whenever I leave the house. I think I can get a quantity discount--who's in?
You are so darn funny! When you have visitors, they will just think that you have been slaving in the kitchen all day cooking! Nothing smells better than anything cooking with garlic! (except your breath, of course!)
I am curious to hear what the good news was that had you jumping for joy!
Well...I'm still here. It only took baking soda, Febreze, and two cycles in the wash. No, the couch doesn't smell like garlic anymore. Now it smells like laundry detergent, Febreze, and some other unidentifiable smell that I think is reminiscent of a nursing home. Oh well, things could be worse. They could be fishing my body out of the Provo River.
