Ugh, I feel your pain. I did this to my finger about 10 days ago, also in the kitchen:

That said, you've got me beat hands down. Cleaning the yard after the dog is as far as I go with crap. :) And there is no way I will touch a spider. Nope. No way. I'm a wimp when it comes to spiders, I'll admit it.

Now that cake looks awesome. Makes a lot of the rest of it worthwhile, I bet. :)
