I HATE BURNS!

Today, I burnt myself on a lighting instrument...I heard the two fingers sizzle, lol. It hurts. What is the best thing to do for a burn. I had it in water all day and am now letting it get air.

When I burned myself...I utilized aloe vera and something else called Aquaphor - it was fantastic.

How did I burn myself, you ask?

I was ironing on the floor, in my bathrobe. I was sitting crosslegged in front of a mini ironing board and watching TV.

NOTE to self: DO NOT ever, ever, iron on the floor while wearing nothing but a bathrobe.

While it was fun to go to work the following day and show everyone my leg with the "sunbeam iron" logo and perfect little holes and triangle top designed burn, it was ultimately not worth it.

Drink a can of cold soda and hold the can in your hand the whole time. It helps if you don't have anything else around.

Ok. This is true... if you have regular toothpaste, you know, the plain white minty stuff, apply that on the burn. It will cool it and it will not blister. Yes... I have tried it.

Have Ewan McGregor kiss it. If he's not there, you'll just have to make do with Johnny Depp.
