]]> This morning at about 12:15am I was closing down my computer to head to bed when…Hic-Cup! Oh my, it was soooo loud and painful it reminded me of the Alf episode when he had the Melmacian Hiccups (yes, I know I just dated myself!). After about 15 minutes of violent hiccuping I tried holding my breath, guzzling water, sipping water and a spoonful of sugar…none of which worked.

The rest of the family was asleep and I was trying to be quiet but it is difficult to stifle hiccups of this magnitude. I had been chatting with a friend on AIM and he kept typing “Boo!” to try to scare them out of me…but that didn’t work either. After about an hour of suffering, I turned to Twitter. There I received some suggestions that I had already tried…and one new one. My friend Shannan of FromCribstoCarKeys.com told me to try a spoonful of peanut butter. It worked! By 1:30am my hiccups were gone and I could finally head to bed.

So, what is your go-to hiccup cure? Mine has always been the spoonful of sugar with water…until this morning. Now, I shall suggest peanut butter! Leave me a comment and let me know what usually works for you.
