well you know the saying.. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush... i dont know if a chip in the eye is worth anything but lots of laughter and tonnes more stinging from the salt that was on it.
It was too funny not to share and im sure that my purple headed giggle pot of a friend will be laughing her arse off at my stupidity... so.. here i am... still blushing from embarrassment, eyes wet from tears of laughter... and red from salt reaction.
Tonight we decided to have an easy dinner since Matt and i got out into our front yard, did some weeding and mowed the lawns that were well and truely in need of some TLC. So... just for those that see easy as ducking to the fish and chip shop, let me clarify.. we are talking box fish and mc cains crunchy fish and chip shop style crunchy chips.. tossing them in the oven is easy... means i can toss the kids into the bath and shower while its cooking and then there is no waiting for people to come eat.. ANYWAY.. (im rambling)... i quality control tested these so called crunchy chips tonight.. and... you know what!? They are super crunchy. For some unknown reason.. (i do lots of dumb things after all)... i held the chip between my thumb and fore finger at each end and pushed hard... the thing just was not going to snap in two.. (and it was not over cooked)... then.. all of a sudden.. snap... wham... OUCH... it snapped...& hit me right in the eye ... while it was open still no less... thus the ouch!
Hope you get as much of a laugh as the guys did... they thought it hysterical.. didnt matter that my eye was on fire with the sting of salt and i couldnt see because my eye chose the moments after to snap shut and refuse to open again! ~L~
It made me think almost immediately to the Book of me challenge that i have set over at Froggy Todd. "Through these eyes" & "behind these eyes".
Jamie definately thought i should get my picture taken and scrap it... i think not! ~L~
I seriously dont think i need to document for future generations ALL my stupidity, besides.. i have no doubt there will be many other oportunities.. dont you?
