Karma . . . or just bad luck?

You know when you do something dumb that hasn't happened in quite some time?  This is my story :)  Well, a few weeks ago when I was pulling dinner out of the oven I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and totally burned my wrist.  I promise you, I heard my skin sizzle.  Gross.  And it TOTALLY hurt.  Let me tell you friends, I am the biggest wimp when it involves pain.  So here we are about three weeks later.  I'm going to have a nice little scar and I was just noticing that it is surrounded by about four other scars.  Hm.


So TODAY as I was making dinner, I pulled the lid off a pot and steam burned half my finger.  HELLO!  Again, total baby when there is pain involved.  Have I really sent off previous bad karma coming back to haunt me, or am I just reverting back to my accident-prone high school days?  I suppose time will tell . . .

This might sound dumb, but it totally works .... put toothpaste on burns as soon as they happen. The mint takes away the burn. I burnt my wrist on Sunday, immediately put some toothpaste on there, and now I can't even see where it happened (it was very minor, but still). I do it everytime. :)

And I'm sorry you keep burning yourself. Burns are the very worst ever!!! I pray I don't have to die by fire. LOL.
