. . . i didn't call 911 . . .

. . . but apparently, 
according to my new friends 
at the fire station, 
some people do . . .
. . . and, yes, these nice guys 
will actually come to your house 
to cut off your wedding ring . . . 
. . . i opted, during a phone call 
to check their availability, 
to save them the trip . . .


. . . and they are jokesters . . . 
. . . on the phone, 
one of them asked me 
if my ring was really stuck 
or if i was getting divorced . . .


. . . trust me . . . 
. . . it was stuck . . . 
. . . i hadn't worn it in a month . . . 
. . . not since i made all that jam . . . 
. . . i think it must have been 
the acidity in the fruit . . . 
. . . and the fact that 
i peeled three boxes of peaches 
by hand . . . 
. . . my finger was irritated 
when i finished, 
but nothing like this . . .
. . . so i gave it a month to heal . . . 


. . . then on sunday 
i put it back on . . . 
. . . and all this happened 
in just three days . . .

{you can see the injuries i sustained from the mini jaws of life}

. . . i'm bummed about my broken ring, 
but windex didn't work . . .
{think my big fat greek wedding} 
. . . ice didn't work . . . 
. . . vaseline didn't work . . .
. . . and it was super painful . . .
. . . i'm relieved it's off . . . 
. . . and in case you're wondering . . .
. . . the firemen were cooking
something with bacon for dinner . . . 
. . . i still smell like it . . .

Yikes. That looks sore. I'm glad you had it taken care of. And I thought you were just having the most wonderful day quilting away with friends.

Oh no. Double whammy. Cut up fingers and a cut up ring. So sorry. :(
