I am a thinker. I love to think. I am always thinking about something, someone, someplace….I am always thinking…trying to find answers to anything and everything. I just love to think. The past little while, I have had a lot of things on my mind. It seems like I am ALWAYS thinking. It is so difficult to turn my brain off at night…it just doesn’t happen. I just love to think.
Well, last Tuesday morning, I was thinking about some important things (I will admit…sometimes I do not think of important things…some of it is kinda strange thinking…but nonetheless…I love to think) while I getting ready for the day. I have somewhat natural curly hair and every morning I have to use my flat iron to make those curls disappear.
NOTE: My flat iron heats to 450 degrees. I love it. It can make the most curliest hair turn straight in the matter of seconds.
So…I was deep in thought when I grabbed my 450 degree flat iron. I grabbed some hair and started to straighten it…still thinking very deeply. I continued to think…and think….and think…and think. All of a sudden, I felt this burning sensation. I dropped my flat iron and looked in the mirror. GAH!!! I was not straightening my hair…I was melting my ear. I was so wrapped up in my thinking that I did not know that I had grabbed my ear instead of my hair. 
OUCH!!! A second degree burn. This has been not a fun week. I am so grateful for hair that covers my ears. Oh, so grateful! My ear is healing but not at the rate that I would like it. I guess…I should be just grateful that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Hmmm….where was my mind? It was just…thinking!
….hmmm….I probably need to be more careful!

Gah your ear looks so painful! I won't lie, picking off the bits of skin that you burned off was kinda fun, in a gross sort of way. Thank goodness it's finally healing.
Oh that's terrible! I hope the ear will heal real soon. OUCH!!
Teh dangers of flat irons and thinking. That's gnarly. Hope it feels better than it looks.
