Wah!!

I'm going to be whiny for a second.

I'm just waiting for an anvil to fall out of the sky and land on me. I've had a few physical ailments this week and I'm just waiting for the next one.

Sunday, I was shooting an engagement session out in Galveston and the last part of the session ended short because for some reason I was swarmed by mosquitos. I'm not even kidding you. In a matter of about 20 mins., I ended up with over 60 bites (I counted), mostly on my legs and a about 5 on my back. And then I found a few more on my arms. I look like I have chicken pox on my legs. It's kind of embarassing. And annoying. Lesson learned: carry bug spray.

Then today, I was making some desserts because I was teaching my aunt some new recipes since she comes from Colombia and there are things here that she's never made before. Well, I was putting the blades back in the mixer since they had just been washed and somehow my finger got stuck in one of the blades, and then somehow the mixer was turned on. For a few seconds, I didn't know what to do because I couldn't get my finger out of the blade that was still trying to turn my finger back, and I couldn't let go of the mixer because then it would go flying. I had to somehow turn it off with my other fingers, and then I immediately ran to get ice for my finger. It really hurt, in case you're wondering. I thought I'd cut myself, but apparently it was just a really deep indention into my hand from where the blade kept trying to turn. Hours later, I can still feel it in my finger and joint. Lesson learned: unplug the mixer when you put the blades in.

Ok, whining session over.
