Today I Think I’ll Cut My Finger Open

Dear last weekend of October, you have been quite exciting and memorable! You have also proven to me how tough I am. I mean, first I ran a half-marathon. Got a blood blister, a sore ankle and a bum knee. No big, I’m a hoss and can deal.

Then, my loan was approved and I officially joined the HUG spring 2012 group. Extreme excitement over this!

Sunday’s excitement? On a whim I decided to make sweet potato fries. Well, the knife slipped (probably because I was more focused on watching Halloweentown than the knife)and I ended up in urgent care for 3 stitches and a tetanus shot:

Don’t feel bad for me, though. It actually didn’t hurt at all. Brette, my awesome roommate, was just as excited as me about getting stitches.

The nurse was all, “You need stitches for that deep thing,” and we were both like, “Yes!”

Weird, I know.

Also, my FAVORITE holiday is tomorrow (HAPPPPPY HALLOWEEN!) and my 21ST BIRTHDAY IS TUESDAY!

Over and out, October. Thanks for the fun.

  1. oh, friend. i hope your finger heals quickly! so funny that you were excited about stitches. i've only ever gotten one, on my upper lip. apparently my mother felt, in the course of being stitched, my one-year-old self should not be anesthetized. apparently i then screamed bloody murder. what can i say? anesthetic is a good thing. incidentally - did you get your finger anesthetized?
