Everyone should try to set their house on fire-then flood it just for good measure.

Yes, about 2 weeks ago I (unintentionally) tried to set my house on fire. I did in fact set part of my stove on fire.

Fun times.

I was in the midst of cooking something on the back burner and preparing something else on the counter (like 2 feet away) but my back was turned. I have an electric stove and sometimes if there’s something on the burner it will smoke a little.  I had just said “Nobody worry-nothing’s on fire-just something on the eye of the stove!” I turned to look again and there were flames shooting up around the pot.

So of course I did what came naturally.

I forgot everything I knew to do and hollered to my husband.

“Ummmm….fire. The stove is on fire! Help? What do I do?”

“Salt!”

Oh yeah.

So-I grab the dish of salt I keep on the stove and poured it all over, putting the fire out. No damage to the stove or the pot I was using-and dinner was actually still edible.

Last night hubby and I hooked up my new washing machine because I finally killed the other one the old one died .  We decide to run a small test load just to make sure everything was OK.

Before long I look and there’s water in my little laundry nook.

And my kitchen.

And my pantry.

Turns out we didn’t hook up the drain pipe correctly.

Yeah.

I think we need a vacation. What could go wrong?
