Don't cry over spilled milk...

Ya, I know that one shouldn't cry over spilled milk...
but what if it's a whole entire Costco sized gallon...



In your car???


Man, I could have died! Somehow the lid came off and the whole thing dumped out onto the floor in the backseat of the car. We tried to soak as much up as we could with a towel. Then we sucked the rest out with a carpet cleaner.


But in a few days the smell was... not good.
My friend Emily told me to go get some of this...

Petzymes does the trick apparently. Who would have thought! Spray it on, let it dry... good as new. I owe her big time for saving my car.

Oh man. That really sucks. Once we were coming home from Costco and an entire carton of eggs fell and splattered in the very back of our car. The smell was not good. Not good at all.

ps- is a costco gallon really bigger than a regular grocery store gallon?

Meg! I'm so glad that you found my blog! Now I can keep up with you too... I had no idea you were going through so much with your pregnancy! I'm glad you are getting so much help, and I'm sorry I haven't been a very good visiting teacher. I haven't been around much because of the constant "pukey" feeling but I should be coming out of it in the next few weeks... Hopefully we can get together again soon!

Oh no!!! Glad you were able to get the smell out though!

I have to try some of that petzyme stuff in my car. Did you get it at a pet store? I don't like those costco milk jugs. Their lids are way too wide and they're hard to pour without spilling! I'm not suprised it popped off when it fell over. Sorry to hear about that! It does not sound fun!

Jessica - I got it at PetSmart. I think that I'm going to have to do it again today... it's not totally gone. But it's a lot better. I too hate the Costco cartons. They are such a pain!
