This is the House that Blog Built

Welcome to my house that blog built. I just recently learned about blogs, so I'm discovering for myself what it is, what it was, and what it shall be. Who I am, who I was, and who I shall be.

guacamole


so I made some guacamole last night. It was extremely tasty. The problem is I chopped up some serrano peppers and ever since, every time I bite my fingernails it makes my lips burn. Now I'm sure you are thinking I must be dirty and not wash my hands, but I promise as a professional nurse I believe in the power of handwashing. It's hard to spend 14 hours washing your hands every five minutes and then think to not wash your hands at all. I also happened to have been raised well and know that you should wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Believe it or not I have actually peed a couple of times since yesterday. For those of you who know me this may come as a shock. My bladder has even expanded in size since starting my nursing job. I'm pretty sure it is the size of a watermelon. This spicy taste on my fingers reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents tried the nasty tasting fingernail polish to try to stop my sisters and I from biting our fingernails. Needless to say I am 23 years old and continue to bite my fingernails. Some habits are terribly hard to break. But I guess out of all the habits to break nose-picking was probably the better choice.

flowers are pretty
