The top picture is of my first battle wound from the floral shop. I was reaching over to get a flower pick (that plastic pitchfork thing that you attach the card to in a bouquet or arrangement of cut flowers) and I hit the edge of an electrical light override switch really hard. I looked down at my hand and there was this inch-long gash smiling up at me, filling quickly with blood. When I grabbed it it opened further, revealing that my skin was lacerated almost a centimetre into my flesh. Long story short I didn't need stitches, it wound up clotting together after I pinched it shut for 15 minutes, but it's going to leave a shiner of a scar and it's really sore. I was wearing duct tape over the bandaid when it first happened to hold the edges of the cut together better, so I fancied myself a flower shop cyborg. How exciting!
The next pictures are of my cousin Carson's baby daughter, Erica, 2 months tomorrow. She is DELICIOUS even when she's screaming her tiny head off and I am so in love with her. I'm really looking forward to spending more time with her, so more updates on her later. She and her mom (Amanda) and Carson and his mom Syrell and Syrell's husband Dale came over to the house for Mother's Day dinner so I got to hold her, though she shrieked in abject terror the first time I tried to pick her up. By the end of the evening she was a little more used to me, so I'm thinking we'll be friends soon enough. I'm going to photograph her until she's world wide web famous :P

Looks to me like amputation shouldn't be necessary.
