The buggers are right where my thumb muscle moves to make my hand...useful. And let me tell you in case you have forgotten this from Jr. High science, our opposable thumbs are one of the greatest gifts evolution gave us. Life without it is slow and frustrating. So typing is not my friend these days. Bare with me and know I'll be back in fighting shape soon.
But I can't drop a lame bomb like that and leave you empty handed (pun intended). So head over to Resembl where I'm sharing my favorite black and white handbags for the new year. Empty handed, hand bags, I just can't help myself.
I really love a good handbag and I've got some great choices to drool over. Check it out here.
Do you have an obsession with bags like I do? Ever had stitches? Ever heard a doctor say "We've got a bleeder!"? Sadly, I have. (Extra points if you can name the movie that line is also from.)
Sorry about your hand :-( At least it's a good excuse to not have to cook for a few weeks?! Will go check out those purses now - you know I'm all about black and white!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I broke my hand 2 summers ago and remember what a pain it was!! Never realize how much you use that thing til it's not working. Elbows are your best friend. Sports bras too, no need to latch it. Hope you heal quickly. Milk it from your family as long as you can too;).
ReplyDeletePoor girl! Wishing you a swift recovery! I love my bags and purses so I am off to check them out right now!

oh my goodness!!!! glad you are ok!
ReplyDeleteWell...looks like you single handedly made a mess of dinner! HeeHee! Sorry about the wound...I hate it when I cut my finger...and stitches are no fun. Bright side...your manicure looks fab! Hoping you recover quickly...and wracking my brain for the movie title...I know that quote...cant remember it!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Hope you heal soon. Your nails look lovely...at least there is that.
ReplyDeleteOh know you poor thing! I've only had stitches from surgery not from an injury but I have had two broken bones. I have a huge handbag obsession- I am constantly dreaming of what my next bag will be!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, poor you! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Loved all your black & white bag picks. Cool site, too!
ReplyDeleteoh no! Hope it heals soon!
ReplyDeletesorry about the hand! Heal fast!! xo
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! Sorry about the accident!

Oh no! Heal quickly!
ReplyDeletePoor girl! I've had some close calls with sharp objects and have dodged the bullet so far (knock wood). At least you have a pretty mani - my nails are horrible at the moment!
ReplyDeletePoor you! Feel better!
ReplyDeleteHope your hand heals soon. And yes, I'm obsessed with bags, truly obsessed. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOuch! My brother almost sliced his whole thumb off in the same spot. Looks like you'll be all thumbs (or no thumbs I suppose) for awhile. Heal up quick! Your nails look lovely.
ReplyDeleteglad to see your spirits are still high, high enough to make jokes at least. I had a run in with a knife in that exact spot a week after I had my little girl, she was our 1st and I was sure that, at 1 week of age, she needed to play with toys... So my trusty knife and I went to battle with some plastic packaging - it won. I ended up with stitches... I found that a glass of wine and a bath helped a lot, you'll just have to ignore the plastic bag taped around your hand! Take care.

oh no, hope it heals quickly!!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, poor you!!! Speedy recovery my dear, that can't be fun! (And it's from Something About Mary - what do I win? Or do I just get one handed clap?) ;) xxx
ReplyDeleteI love that new site! And so sorry about your thumb...hey at least it was caught in a zipper :)
ReplyDeleteI'm under the impression that this month needs to be over sooner rather than later. Those bags are really beautiful! Hang in there and hope you're family is being helpful!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry!! Yes, I have had stitches a few times. I remember the 'opposable thumbs' argument from Friends. I learn most things from television. I hope you have your feet up and a cocktail in the other hand.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh - i am so sorry!! i hope you heal quick. and dont be doing tons of hand-y things right now! rest! ( if you can ) im sending good vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteOh honey ... I am so sorry ... but your manicure is quite lovely ... the color against the white. Yes, I like it!! xo
ReplyDeleteWell, your nails look pretty! So sad this happened...take good care.

Ouch! I'm so sorry - saw that on Instagram and felt awful for you. Other than oral surgery stitches, and ahem, c-section stitches I've never had them (knock on wood). They always freaked me out when I was little too (my dad's a pediatrician and he'd always talk about stitches and I would about faint - being a doctor obviously wasn't in the cards for me ;) I hope you're on the mend soon and that it's not too painful/uncomfortable for you. Just medicate with plenty of G&Ts! Off to check out your handbag post!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks! I hope you have a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing - OUCH! It must still be so painful. I hope it heals as quickly as possible.
ReplyDeleteThat is NO fun. We forget how vital our hands are until we don't have full use of them for everything.
I used to have a coordinating purse for every outfit at work.
Now i just love my patterned cotton ones, and use them until they wear out!
I like handbags and I love black and white...going to check it out! Sorry about your hand, what a bummer! Hope you heal quickly!
ReplyDeleteoh no! what a tragedy! I'm so sorry. Feel better soon....I know the thumb is THE most important one of all the fingers....speedy recovery my friend and hugs and kisses as well!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. Yes I had that silly splinter that I had to have surgically removed. Very hard to work with those bandages.....keep it dry!
ReplyDeleteoh no! I hope your hand heals quick!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you bandaged up! On the bright side your manicure looks great. :-) I LOVE handbags - more so than any other accessory so I'm gong to check out your favorite picks now. Hope you heal quickly! - Michelle 29 + Nona
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing!! Hope your hand is on the mend and your are back to your zippering, lunch making, typing opposable thumb maneuvering self soon!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Elizabeth ~ glad to hear they're taking good care of you, hope you're milking it! :)
ReplyDeleteOW! So sorry sweet friend :-) feel better soon!
ReplyDeletePoor Elizabeth!! I hope you are well on the road to recovery... And if there is a silver lining, at least your manicure looks lovely! ;)
