It is no secret that Lisa and I are not exactly what you would call “daredevils”. We are pretty happy to stay in our comfort zone, which includes firm ground, yoga pants and yummy snacks. Taking a risk for us is less like skydiving and more like buying the grocery store brand of cheese.

So when we first discovered the blog of McCall Humes, we were hooked immediately! See, she is trying all of these amazing “firsts”, and we get to sit back and live vicariously through her experiences (that is practically like doing them ourselves). And we might also be doing some serious laughing at her description of those experiences. Y’all, she is RIDICULOUSLY funny! Like makes us feel like we might need Depends funny!

We talk all the time about her blog, so we decided that rather than selfishly keep her funny to ourselves we would graciously share it with our Dose Peeps. We are givers, we know.

One of McCall’s firsts was riding a real bobsled at the Olympic Park in Park City, Utah. Oh yes, she did. And the re-telling of her experience was glorious and not to be missed. Here is just a brief snippet of what happened to her that day…

In the museum lobby there is a bobsled anyone can climb in. For a minute there, while trying it out, I wondered if I might just need to tell them to strap this one behind their shuttle and tug me up the mountain, ’cause getting in and out of that bad boy took effort. Seriously. It’s like climbing out of a tube of toothpaste. How do the pros get into those things so fast? Those guys are pretty much the tallest and heaviest athletes in the Winter Olympics. Some of them were football players in their previous careers and yet they are able to mount this sardine can in seconds flat. I, on the other hand, had to try three times before successfully getting out. And no one else was sitting with me. And there was grunting.

Trust us when we say that the above paragraph is really only the beginning of the adventure and what follows will have you crying with laughter!

First Time Bobsledding: Alternate Title: Last Time Bobsledding

We are closing comments today so you can go and share all the Dose love directly with McCall herself!

You are laughing already, aren’t you? But with her, not at her, we know! Fine. At her. We totally get it because we were, too! We love you McCall!
