I was thinking today about the new video I wanted to do and wondered if I would “burn my hands off” as the Frugal Crafter would say.  The thing is, I’m not really good with a hot glue gun and often feel the need to scream for a medic when attempting to use one.  Today was no exception. The only real exception was that I was being filmed.  No matter how big the injury, the show must go on.  I don’t think I even winced when the tag with molten glue attached itself to my thumb.  Yes there was pain and yes, I wanted my mommy, but I didn’t want anyone to know that I was in fact, that gifted.  Maybe gifted isn’t the word, maybe the opposite of gifted.  The point is my thumb may never be the same. What? Yes, I am using it to type this, whatever!!

Even though maybe 50 people will see that video, isn’t the goal to “Never let them see you sweat?”  If that’s the case, should I have used antipersperent  on my thumb, or does that commercial only apply to armpits?  I don’t think people necessarily see you sweat there, but do when it’s rolling down your face or you shake with your clammy hand.  What was I talking about?

Right, I wanted to appear professional even with the tag attached to my thumb.  I know very few people see the videos and even less read this blog, but I have a very strick rule.  Never ever let them see you cry.  No matter what.  There was a brief moment today when I almost broke that rule, it was very brief.
