So I’ve been trying to watch what I eat and not snack all the time.

Tuesday afternoon I got up from my desk chair and started towards the kitchen to get a snack and thought to myself,”You know, you aren’t really hungry. You don’t need a snack.

The good thing is I didn’t fall flat on my face. The bad thing is that instead I was stopped by the force of my jaw hitting the corner of my Expedit. Wow, that hurt. I am very lucky I didn’t break my jaw or some teeth.

I do have a nice big bruise along my jaw line and a lot of swelling, along with a fetching impression of the corner of the Expedit— seriously, there is a 90° angle now impressed into my jaw.

But I was not the only one to come out with battle scars: the Expedit now has a rounded corner.
