Last night I wanted an apple. Not just any apple, but a Granny Smith apple. Sweet, green, perfect. I like to slice my GSAs thin...kind of hard to do with the knives we have. So, I decide that I wanted to use Karen's mandelin. Some of you may already know where this is heading...others are thinking, "Why is using a musical instrument to slice a GSA?". The mandelin I am speaking of is kitchen device used to slice your thumbs and fingers off...or, if you operate it PROPERLY, you would have nice thinly sliced GSAs.
So here is how it happened. Karen set up for me and said that I should use a special piece to hold the GSA...preventing finger slicing, and that it was very sharp! I'm 37 years old. I know how to be careful. One slice, two slices...ah ah ah...THREE THREE slices! AH AH AH (Of course this is best said in your best Count voice) I would do a couple slices and then move my fingers up and out of the way. One slice...two sl...$%#@!!!!! Yea...I thought I cut my thumb off. Not really sure how it happened, but I ended up slicing the side of my thumb. If I would have sliced all the way down the madelin, I would have had a nice chunk missing from my thumb. Oh yea....it bled for a long time. I started to feel queezy, so I laid down. And even today, if I bump it, it kills. So that's my bad.
My good is that we had a good crazy time as a family today. We started by seeing the movie "Marley & me". It was a very good movie. We went shopping so the kids could spend some of their Christmas money. Afterwords, we went to lunch. Baila didn't find what she wanted when we went shopping and I had to go back to return the Guitar Hero game that we gave the kids for Christmas, so we went out later. We found what she wanted at Costco...I'm now and fan...and we had a great time together...just her and I.
When we returned, Jake, Eli and I reconfigured our gaming center and assembled the new Guitar Hero.
It's been a crazy 24 hours, with one bad...and lots of good.
