what not to do: lesson 1

as you know, and if you don't then i'll tell you, i like to sew.  this afternoon i was upstairs sewing my little heart out.  rocking to the bad party music that was blasting downstairs.  i was snipping and clipping and sewing and being oh so cool as only someone who sews can be.

and then snip.  i snipped my finger.  with my gingher scissors.  my über sharp gingher scissors.  snip.  snip.  ow.

it bled everywhere.  i could not for the life of me get it to stop and i get queasy when i am injured.  (side note: if you are injured, i'm there for you.  me.  i am the biggest pu$$y on the face of the earth.  no joke.)  i managed to drive myself to dr. friend and have him look at it and tell me that i was nuts, that it was ok and no i did not need stiches (or stitch) but on the bright side i need my tetanus updated.

so.  the lesson of the day is: watch what you're doing.
