Things I have done...and those who laughed with me along the way...Take One

So this will be basically a few of my not so shining moments compiled for all to see just how many problems I can cause for myself. This is actually spurring from remembering Shannon. She always loved laughing at my stories and often gave me interesting ways to fix them, and or get in more trouble so sit back and enjoy...I swear I hear her laughing up there at these, even after all this time...

Yankee Candles, lost lighters and blood

Odd combination I know but, heres the story, they typos will be worse then normal since I am now sitting with a coffee filter wrapped around my pointer finger trying to type....

Let me create the setting, a day devoted to house cleaning and pwing...As I look for a lighter to light my gardina yankee candle I realize it does not exist....HOWEVER I have a pyrex square pan , and a stove. I lay the candle in the pyrex pan and proceed to post whore between laundry.... as I am in the middle of pming my offer of marriage to GFD I hear a loud POP and WHOOSH....

My pyrex pan shattered and the stove caught on fire, tried with my might to blow the small flame out.... realizing I should shut the stove off it kinda went out on its own as I did that.... so here we have candles, shattered glass and its all over the place seeping into the stove.... GREAT...so I get back to PWing as it was hot still and I have to work soon....

Went to go take a picture of the carnage, and realized that thats like 6 bucks in candle stuck to those glass pieces and I can salvage some.... so as I am scraping the candle bits out of the broken glass I slice the top of my finger.... it wont stop bleeding... Im running out of coffee filters... and it burns.... gardina candle oil hurts when it is in a wound....

Im currently trying to figure out how to get the tiny shard of glass out of the biggest wound (im about to resort to tweezers .... i wont even mention how many bandaids I need now.... oh and I gave up on the scraping it off and took to turning the stove and oven on... im letting it evaporate... it smells weird... but its working slowly

Shannon's response was as follows..

Don't forget to turn the fan on and open a window. I don't want to see a post about you passing out from smoke inhalation next.

Sure the buzz is good but the hangover will be awful.
