Ok, so in my readings I've found that you don't want to inflate your own balloons with your air. There are always screamings of unsanitariness, but I ignore those. I breathe on you and you don't die. The air from the balloon won't kill you either.
The problem really is that I can't do it. Maybe some of you can, but I huffed and puffed and promptly passed out. Dogs and Cats love it when I pass out. Ok, so maybe I'm exaggerating but it certainly wasn't going to happen that I self-inflate 25 balloons so I tried something.
We have a battery operated tire pump with attachments for all the fun things in life we inflate. Like tires. I really don't like spending money and my husband suggested I try it so we did.
Only 2 seconds to POP with all that pressure. 24 balloons to go. I broke down and bought a cheap inflater pump. 1.99 cheap. Gotta love that. It's a giant pain. You really have to *ahem* go to town on the thing in order to inflate the balloon, but work it does.
I only made the "choking the gopher" joke once. I swear.
Of course now I have to actually attempt to make something.
Before I'm off I should say that I did pop 2 more balloons. One popped whilst practicing twisting and one while trying to tie it off.
Man, the innuendos are thick with this hobby.
22 balloons left.

I never gave any thought to the unsanitariness of blowing up balloons with your mouth. Thanks for the eye opening public service announcement!
