On my way out of Harris Teeter Ashburn yesterday, I was given a bushel of steamed blue shell crabs. They had been used as a demo on crab picking to promote a sale on crab meat that was going on. There were about four bushels left and since HT doesn't sell crabs, they were giving them to employees who would take them home. So, I packed them with ice, threw them in the car and hoped they would make it back in one piece. THEY DID!!
I've spent nearly all day picking crabs and will spend a good bit of tomorrow picking crabs as well.
I have that fish smell stuck in my nose, I'm pretty sure. I smell it everywhere... I smell it on me, I smell it in my car, I smell it outside, I smell it at his work, I even thought I smelled it at Bed Bath and Beyond... eew!
But, for some really good fresh crab cakes, the sore fingers and fish smell is worth it. I'm sure John could say the same about other things as well... **wink**
Speaking of my darling John. I've done a terrible thing to him... well, its not really that bad but I do feel awful. I was giving him a haircut and, like a total dumb ass, forgot to put on the length guard. So, I cut a huge swatch out of his head. Shaved it clean off... It was terrible. So, we decided to shave his head completely, since there was no real way to fix my huge goof.
He seems to be a lot better about it then I am, though. It doesn't look bad, but I just feel like a total screw up. Ive been screwing things up a lot lately and this is just the icing on the cake. Now John has to live and deal with my stupidity. I know I'm probably kicking myself a little too much, but I just feel dumb. I feel like I cant be trusted to do anything right without having my hand held... I feel ridiculous.
