OMG It's April

So, I had plans. Plans to write a new cool blog once a week. To somehow find a hipper-edgier-cooler me. Or, hey, I could write a useful, marketing blog, since that is what I do in my "real" life. What? You mean you can't support yourself after publishing 8 novels??? Bwahahahaha-

Okay, back to reality. Like I said, I set up an editorial calendar to really bring readers to my blog. The new "me" was to begin today...

Then it rained...and--this will tell you how utterly uncool I really am--I burned my entire right hand. Scorched. Fried. Swollen up. Red. Shiny skinned. Still burning an hour later...soaked in ice water every five minutes to numb it...sigh.

How did I manage this terrible deed? And even more important--how am I writing this after such an adventure? I am typing left handed...one painful letter at a time. I'm getting pretty good at it too...

As for the burn-sigh- I pulled my boiling bowl of Malt-o-meal out of the microwave--yes, I said Malt-o-meal-- when my arm jerked...the scalding hot, fresh from the boil, thick pasty liquid poured over my hand. I dropped the bowl, flung the burning brew off my hand and all over the kitchen as I went screaming to the sink and poured cold water over my hand-sheesh.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...ever have a day? Well, mine is today. Especially since Malt-o-meal is famous for turning into concrete when it cools-so, I numbed my hand in ice water and did my best to clean up the mess...my puppy happily took care of the floor...sigh. I'm lucky- no real blisters...just swollen, shiny, red...took the top layer of skin off...I'll survive.

But, so much for being cool and hip...
