Diary of The Food Whore: Jinxed

Jinxed

April 06, 2006

Tony S. posted a comment in my previous post asking, "... do you ever feel like you're jinxed?"

Tony my friend, this post is just for you.

And to answer your question - yes.

While walking back to the prep station tonight I stepped down only to feel something sharp embed itself in my heel. I pulled up my foot quick to see what it was, and there stuck in the sole of my croc was a toothpick. When I looked down at the ergo-mat, there was a couple toothpicks lying there kind of half in/half out of the hole.

And I, in all of my magnetism, found the one tooth pick that had actually landed in a way that drove it straight through the sole of my Crock (which is unsettling) and into my heel.

So yes, Tony. Not only do I think I am jinxed, I know I am jinxed.

I believe it says that right on my birth certificate. "Identifying birth marks - the word "jinxed" on the right buttock."

If I didn't know better I'd swear we were sisters. I always manage to ram something under my nail or hurt myself on seemingly innocent objects- like a reach-in cooler. I thought I would bleed to death after scratching my finger on some evil part of a reach-in at culinary school about 2 weeks ago. One of my classmates even said "Only you would be able to do that". Sad but true.

I, too, must be jinxed. As I commented on an earlier post, I have stepped on a toothpick and had it embedded in my foot, too!

Haha, I just noticed that your ads now feature Rachel Ray! (grins evilly)

Holy Cow
That must have really hurt. I did not realize the sole of Crocs were that penetrable? I just got a pair of pink ones and wear them EVERYWHERE.
OW~!
