Tis the season but I hope you shake it soon. I second the lysol spray attack but I'd do it daily if I were you. I also tried a new product that I'm digging so far called Airborne. $6 for 10 alka seltzer like tablets (tastes like slightly carbonated tang) at Walmart. My 3 year old has been sick as a dog this past year in daycare so I tried this at the onset of his latest cold. So far so good and it hasn't developed into pink eye or ear/sinus infection (knock on wood) like it usually does. And if you buy 6 of them you get one free.

Good luck on the date - what a way to start if she thinks you're lieing
