Ouch...

So, in my rush to make improvement to the house I totally disregarded all the rules my mom taught be about handling knifes and I now have the scar to prove it! I was working on removing trim from an old dresser and was using a knife to cut the trim off... smart- I know! As I was prying the trim up with a screw driver in one hand, I was cutting the trim with a knife in the other hand. Obviously- I was not cutting away from my body and with my unexpected strength, I cut the trim and the knife came flying toward my forehead! It is nothing serious, but it sure gave me a scare... as well as our neighbor Brandon (I ran over to his house after the fact- I needed a second opinion on whether I needed stitches!). Luckily for me, Brandon doctored me up and two butterfly stitches later I was as good as new. The moral of the story- never cut toward you... ALWAYS away!!! I am so smart... the Garfield bandaide really says a lot- unfortunately, it was all Brandon had to work with at first!!
