Ok so one of my best friends went on a vacation with her husband recently and the thoughtful people that they are saw something there that they wanted me to have and they got it for me! Love these guys!
So here's a little background on me if you don't know already. I have a horrific phobia of snakes. I have never had a traumatic experience or a bad encounter with one, haven't even seen one in person really, maybe from far away. Anyway, so even cartoon snakes on tv freak me out and I can't even look at them, so naturally a real on on tv or a picture of a real one absolutely terrifies me. I remember I was at a friend's house in middle school and someone brought their pet snake to the house and I literally ran down the stairs, into their kitchen and out their back door. Soo scared of them.
So, these friends of mine know of this phobia and think it's kind of funny, which I guess it kind of is funny to watch someone lose their sh** from a snake on tv, but that is what they bought me from the vacation they took. A snake made of wood with hinges so you can hold it and move it a little and it slithers. Oooh I just got goose bumps, seriously.
They thought that I needed a lot of help getting over my fear of snakes so that is why they bought it for me. And I loooove them for that! Sadly, it is still wrapped up tightly in the bag they gave it to me in. BUT, I keep it on my desk in my room, so I see it everyday and know that it is in there, and actually now 24 hours later from my receiving it, my heart only skips 1 beat instead of 2 when I look over at the bag, so it's working!
Thanks friends, you know who you are, for my wonderful gift. It just seems that classical conditioning will take a little longer for me to overcome than those salivating dogs.
