Revenge of the Food (not disgusting, I swear)

I believe that food has decided this afternoon to take revenge on me. Perhaps it is because I passed up seconds at Easter dinner this afternoon of some of my very favorites: homemade macaroni and cheese, au gratin potatoes, ham, green beans, deviled eggs, and rolls. I love all that stuff desperately, but I just started a diet and after my very successful first week (nearly 10 pounds!!!) I didn't want to blow it.

Perhaps it is because I haven't been blogging enough lately.

But for whatever reason my food is trying to kill me.

I love lemons. And since there are few, if any, calories in lemons - they seemed like a perfect snack after my big dinner. I went to slice one open and took off a chunk of my left index finger. OK, not a chunk but enough for me to bleed profusely. I ran around my condo desperately looking for a band aid. None. I had to improvise with a kleenex and some scotch tape - just call me McGyver.

So, I'm not bleeding all over the place (this is extremely hard to type, though)and decide it is time to eat my lemons - first squeeze and I get the dreaded lemon juice in the eye. So now I'm down one finger and one eye.

What can possibly go wrong next????
