I realized after finishing my post that I forgot to mention a few huge things that I accomplished last week and they should be mentioned. The first being that I finished canning my bushel of pears!! I finished canning and jamming my half bushel of peaches. I also contemplated raspberry jam, but haven't made it yet. Now I have to go pick some apples to make a whole lot of apple sauce. I must also admit that I had help and in no way could I have ever done it alone. Thank you Carol and Marsha, which really means thank you for bottling my stuff while I chase Isaak around--you are awesome.
I also cut open my finger. I was trying to be all prepared for dinner by making pulled pork in the crock pot, but as I was cutting the onion--all went askew. I sliced into my finger and I felt it hit the bone. Then the blood--ewww--I remembered that fingers were bleeders, so naturally I stayed nice and calm-haha. I tried direct pressure and bandaging, but the blasted thing kept bleeding, so I contemplated getting stitches all day long. I learned in my WFR course that if the skin doens't fall together then you should get stitches. I looked at the sides gaping open and kept thinking--hmm maybe it's not that bad. I waited long enough that I couldn't get it stitched up. Several people suggested superglue, but I was afraid of infection and I must admit I didn't clean it as well as I should have--I'm a wuss(as I have previously stated) and it hurt. It also bugged me to watch my skin flap as I held it under the tap. But my little gapping wound has all closed up. So at first I regretted skipping the stitches, but now I'll have an awesome little scar to remind me of my first pulled pork, which was delicious and lasted for four meals!!!!
I got to see some awesome people last week. Yes--I'm talking about you Penny, Jennie, Aislinn, and Tina. It was fun to see you. I also got to talk to several great people Gina and Teana! Since I lost all my phone numbers it was great to have them give me a call. I also got called to be the Beehive Advisor in my Ward, which means I will be teaching young women about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I hope they like me. I'm really excited. I also got to see Cory study all the time!! He's getting ready to take the GMAT....yikes...can't wait until that's over. I wonder who came up with the idea of all these silly little tests that cost way too much money.
