HEY, IF YOU HAVE A QUEEZY STOMACH (DAVE) YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO READ THIS -- THIS IS YOUR WARNING!

I guess I won't try to write too much this morning, as I was chopping some food for my dogs this morning, and managed to cut into my ring finger on my left hand -- sure makes typing harder!! I was using what I consider to be a very efficient cutting tool -- an Alaskan ulu ("oo-loo") which I love because it takes much less force to cut through stuff. Well, ditto for the finger! It's been years since I cut myself, and I don't believe I've ever cut halfway through the nail (from the side) before. What a dumb move!

Had a rather boring weekend, but since reading Dave's journal, I'm grateful for boring!! hee hee! I did at least manage to keep my weight under my goal (despite breaking down and having popcorn at the movie on Friday . . . best laid plans!) but now this week I want to be tough and get closer to the bottom of my "goal range". 134 is the top, and if I don't go over that, I can feel good; if I do go over that, it's time to get to work again! But 128 is where my clothes fit the best and I feel my best. I'm blathering on here, but want you to know that's why it has to be a lifestyle change, not a diet. Our bodies are very efficient at storing carbs, so I know I can never just eat whatever and not gain the weight back. But I CAN treat myself to very yummy stuff OCCASIONALLY when I'm down where I want to be. Love you guys! Have a great day!!!

Hey, I cut my pointer finger on my left hand almost half way though this weekend too - but I was cutting limes for a party. Maybe we should start a Dangerous Knife-Wheelers Anonymous club or something!

Oh dear! So, how do we know if we did enough damage to warrant going to the ER?? If/when it gets infected? **shiver** I did soak it in peroxide -- did you know that stuff actually gets hot from the chemical reaction with the blood? Neat.

Sounds like a nasty cut on that finger. Keep an eye on it and go to the doctor if it looks like it's not healing properly. Movie popcorn...yummy! You are doing a great job maintaining! Kudos to you!

You're a pro at this so I'm sure you'll reach your ideal weight in not time. Even with popcorn! Eww, I bet that cut hurt, make sure you take care of it. No stitches?
