I should know better...

Yesterday morning, way too early, I was up priming my kitchen ceiling.  We are in the process of repainting the kitchen and I just LURV all the prepwork.  Ha!

Then, it was off to the dentist with Princess E.  She had a good checkup. 

Next stop, grocery store.  She tells me she wants sushi for lunch.  We looked at the stuff there, but I decided against it.  For one thing, it's pretty expensive.  For another, well, I really prefer to ensure my sushi is really fresh.  Some things just aren't meant to be bought in the grocery store, in my not-so-humble opinion.  Then again, the sushi-chef was right there working on the stuff while we were there.  Anyway, I digress...

We came home and I decided to fix a sushi-style lunch.  Think of it as a cross between a California roll and fried rice.  The only thing I was missing was the seaweed.  I pulled out the imitation crabmeat sticks to add to the cooked rice and realized each one of them was individually wrapped.  No problem, I thought, I'll just slide it out of the sleeve. 

Or not. 

The wrappers wouldn't tear open, either.  No problem, I just grabbed my trusty kitchen knife.  I laid it on the cutting board and tried to cut the wrapper.  This is still the first one, and I have a dozen or so wrappers to remove.  I couldn't cut the wrapper.  Frustrated, I picked it up and held it while I cut the wrapper open.  Success!  Woohoo!

I grabbed the second stick and proceeded to open it the same way.  The wrapper wouldn't cut.  I added just a smidgen more force.  It gave way that time, successfully slicing open the wrapper and the ends of two of my fingers. 

Princess E scrambled around grabbing bandages and tape.  Bless her heart, she knew I had to clean my fingers, so she brought me alcohol swabs.  I thanked her for her thoughtfulness and proceeded to clean up with good old soap and water.  When King J got home, I looked like I had marshmallows taped to my fingers.  LOL! 

I didn't get any more painting done yesterday. 

Oh, yeah, last night, King J asked me to peel a grapefruit and an orange for him to take to work today.  For the first time I can remember, I refused his request.  I handed him the grapefruit, the orange and a peeler and told him to help himself.  He laughed. 

I should have just bought the sushi at the grocery store.
