The Shellminator

Last week, before my trip, I was pouring some shampoo into a travel size bottle. You want to make sure you get the lid on tight, right? Well, when I screwed it on and then gave it a little more 'oomph' to tighten it up, the lid just snapped in two, right in my hand! Cracked all the way across the middle. WEIRD, I thought. So I poured it into a different bottle, and when I tightened that one, it snapped in two just like the first one did! Different bottles, different brands, etc. Double weird! Maybe I need to lay off the weights a little bit? I told Dave he should be very afraid of me...I'm like the Terminator and don't even know my own strength.

That being said, I had to have HIM open a jar of jam on Tuesday, and yesterday I couldn't get a bottle of lemon juice open. I tried SO hard that when my hand slipped on the grooved top, it stripped some skin right off my index finger! Dave had to open the lemon juice for me, too. Of course he did it on the first try, but I'm sure I got it all loosened up for him...

Speaking of the picture, I had Peter take it...I'm supposed to have a snarly Schwarzenegger face but had a hard time keeping while saying, "PLEASE push the button NOW Peter!" He did a great job, though.
