Darn Nectarines!

WARNING: Some of the content may gross you out. I'm sorry in advance for being one of those people that post gross pictures. I gotta prove myself to my Dad and brothers that I am hardcore tough too.

 I had a mishap at work with a knife and a nectarine. I just wanted nectarine slices and I ended up with stitches. It's such a lame story I'm debating making up a lie about a knife fight or getting attacked by some ravenous animal.

The knife slipped when cutting the nectarine and I got this big gash. I may have even seen bone, or maybe it was me hallucinating from all the blood loss.

 This is the culprit!

The aftermath, 5 stitches. I was having a mini anxiety attack when Matt and I went to the instacare. Luckily the doctor could tell I was freaking out and treated me like he treats his child patients. It worked like a charm!

I'm just hoping scar looks cool!

Speedos, Neck Pillows and Sour Skittles

What do speedos, neck pillows and sour skittles have in common??  Those are just a few of the random items we've packed for our trip to BRAZIL!

Matt says the Brazilians loved sour skittles, but they don't have them there. He used to play "Don't eat Pete!" with all the kids, but they called it " Nao come Toni". We bought a bunch of candy that Matt didn't think they had in Brazil to take with us, we are going to try and bribe people to take us in for lunch.

Our flight is a 12 hour flight from Dallas to Brazil, in the middle of the night. So I am hoping to still be able to get my 8 hours of beauty sleep with a handy neck pillow!

As for the speedo Matt just wants to fit in while in Brazil. Since everyone wears speedos! Just kidding, a direct quote from Matt "There is no way I am going to wear a speedo, even if I am the only person at the ENTIRE beach not in a speedo."

 mmmmmm... love speedos!
