Not As Planned

Yikes.  Today did not go too well…Ok, it went alright except for one thing:

08302011160

Yep, that would be my finger, wrapped in gauze and electrical tape.  Who says I need a bandaid out in the field, right?  Ok, I was safe and changed the makeshift wrapping for a few clean butterfly strips and a bandaid a bit later after I got back to my car.  What did I do?  Lets just say the x-acto knife and I don’t get along…especially a 1/3 of the way into my finger.  Ouch.

This was what cheered me up today though!  While I was in Mammoth I found this awesome hummingbird bandana, as I’ve been on the search for one for the past few weeks.  I also have another one that is covered in random birds and not hummingbirds, but I can’t find it.  Sad times.

Anyhow, just a little something for the blog tonight, as I’m looking into making some pretty big updates to the blog this week!  Get ready!

Oh, and here are some pictures from the rest of my vacation last weekend!

I love the vacation pics and bandana!

Hope your finger feels better soon- the story of the X-acto knife jabbing into it just sounds painful.

Ouch! Sorry about your finger but I had to smile at the electrical tape!

Stunning scenery - probably makes you wish you were back on vacation!

Mammoth looked amazing--so glad you got to get away :)

sadly, I don't think I'll be going to foodbuzz this year...too $$ and we have a few other trips planned for this fall!

Ouuuuch. Last summer my hand got in a fight with an xacto knife.

10 stitches later, I guess you could say the knife one.

Oops. No more "home improvement" projects for me!

Cool bandana and AWESOME picture!! Sorry about that finger, though. BOO! I fiddled with my blog layout but I don't really like it. Too bad I'm computer illiterate and can't figure out how to get my old template back! LOL Can't wait to see your changes, though...

Is there nothing tape can't do. I love the way you DYI first aided yourself. Hope it heals soon. Great photos. Did you see any elk on 395 on the way to Mammoth? Seeing them on long 395 is always cool!
