Knife Fight

So Katie has some sort of issue with knives. I just don't get it. She always seems to get into fights with them and, I gotta say, they ALWAYS win. Always.

This morning Katie went into the sun room in our house to do a quick Ab workout. I was good and lazy and stayed in bed. After a minute or so she yelled something to me and a I got up to see what it was.

"I cut my finger with a bread knife while I was cutting a bagel!!"

Dammit.

I ran out to the car to get the super glue, which turned out to be in her pad in the garage instead. I found WAY too many empty super glue containers in the car though. Kind of funny.

All the while I kept on wondering why she was cutting a bagel while doing an Ab workout?!? I just didn't get it (it was still very early mind you). On top of that, when she said "Bread Knife" I thought of this:


My confusion only grew the more I thought about it.

When I got back in the house I just had to ask. "Why were you cutting a bagel while doing sit-ups?????". Not my brightest moment, but still, I stand by the question. Turns out she was cutting it before she started. Made much more sense then.

Then I saw the knife on the counter and it all clicked. When she said "Bread Knife", she meant super sharp, serrated, pokey BREAD KNIFE OF DOOM AND DISMEMBERMENT. See below:


Everything was clear then. We superglued her up nicely and it seems that it'll heal pretty quickly.

On another note, I'm about as excited as I could be with our trip coming up. I've been feeling better and better each day and my finger feels good. Still a little tender but overall I'm pretty positive about it. I feel like right now I'm at about 50-60%. Maybe more but there are many areas that still feel super weak. Circuits have been helping a lot with general fitness and it feels good to try hard again.

So ready for some more Sandstone...

  1. is that doctor approved to seal the wound with super glue? I only do it on rare occasions but if you found many empty tube i assume you do it often.

    i sympathize, i cut myself pretty bad 3 weeks ago while cleaning the Chef's knife like a moron, i.e. pushing the blade against the sponge who didnt provide adequate protection it seems...

  4. Gotta say I've never done the superglue thing, but if it works, hey, that's all that matters. Unless your kids have 2 heads when they're born... ce

  5. She should be ok for next week! We hope at least!!

    We're all about the super glue. It works really well and hasn't had any ill affects on us yet! Works really well for splits and if your nails are too short.

    Glad to see you checking in Zach!!

  6. I think Katie is still trying to cut the ring off. She wasn't quite successful before the wedding and here and there she keeps making a desperate bid for freedom. Telling you Steve, you gotta stamp down that shit with an iron heel.

  7. Looks like you and the Narc need to bring your fire hazard Hondas in for a recall or risk having your organic pads go up in smoke. ce

  13. No worries Chris, I just smashed it in a freight elevator door at work, 8 stitches! I can still climb, just not bouldering right now. Thanks though.
    Cheers

  14. Sweaty whats happening buddy. I am in Sweatpants withdrawal. Give you a call tomorrow, since Steve is obviously not concerned with our mental sanity. Glad to hear it Remo, though it still blows, at least that type of thing heals predictably quickly.
