FIRE

A couple months ago I was about to cook dinner so I started pre-heating my oven up.... I forgot that my friend's step-daughter Josie had put some hot pads and towels in the bottom of my stove which on some peoples stoves is a drawer but on mine is a broiler.... So they catch fire and all of a sudden my whole stove is on fire and I had no idea what to do soooo..... I call my friend Rachael and she drove over and opened up my stove and there were flames shooting everywhere and smoke pouring out... and she poured a HUGE thing of baking soda all in my stove... since then Marian and I have tryed to sweep out the baking soda two times with my shop vac but um yeah.....my stove still does not light annoying :( So I eat at my friends a lot and make them dinner :)

so a couple of days ago I put this ramen meal in my microwave and did not pour water in it.... big mistake so I am out in the laundry room and smell smoke... So I go out and there is smoke all over my kitchen and my microwave has buckled from the fire that is flaming on the inside. I thought I will just unplug it. So I go to the back and there were flames shooting out of the back and singeing my curtains and I did not know what to do....so I called 911... by the time I was done telling the dispatcher my info I said well my house is smoky and the fire is out she said I will send them anyway so I live five houses from the firestation and I hear the siren go off... and I live in a really small town so it just goes off until someone comes to the station and turns it off. So all of a sudden this full size firetruck pulls out and turns on the sirens and drives that way alll five houses to my house....and like 10 firefighters get out... I am like oh it is out now I am soo sorry.... and they just waked in my house and inspected my microwave then just said well you can not use this any more and picked up and threw it outside in the snow...so they decieded my house needed "ventilation" and set up a huge fan and opened every window in my house...THEN another fire truck pulled up with all my lights on that looked like it was from the 1920's with like 10 more guys in full fire fighter outfits I was like THE FIRE IS OUT!!!!!!!! I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarressed all these guys from my ward... I HOPE this has died down by Sunday.... then some more guys pulled up in a SUV...like um wow... so they after they stood in my yard and talked for ever they deceided to leave and packed up their big fan I was like um can you please take the microwave out of my yard and throw it in the trash cause I am not married and I for real do not think I can lift that in the trash can, and I dont teally want to call one of my friends husbands to come and do that :) so they did my friend said it is a good thing I called 911 to get someone to take my microwave and throw it in the trash can for me...
also apparently my whole town knows this story now....(even more embarrassing) so that is my FIRE:)
they said this is their first and probably only fire on 09... again I really really really hope this story has died down by Sunday or I know it WILL get brought up in Sunday School :)

I have been wanting to make bubble bath FOREVER NOW .... well at least for a couple months..... I like to leave my co-workers that I am friends with little gifts so I saw this thing where you could give everyone bubble bath with a note that says "hope your day bubbles over with fun" but I would write "hope your day bubbles over with SALES!" ANY WAY I wondered if you could MAKE bubble bath... so I went online and found out you SURE CAN! So I got all the things for bubble bath, castille soap, I had never even heard of that before.... glycerin, had never bought that... almond oil, and an essential oil. I bought all of this at the health food store. I got Patchouli for my essential oil because I love that smell. buying all this stuff was NOT cheap.... I told my friend Rachael about my idea and she wanted to try it so she also got some stuff and made some with her daughter Taylor. Rachael said that she used the liquid castille soap and that hers smelled really good BUT did not bubble.... which is what bubble bath is suppossed to do..... So when I went out I got the bar Castille soap and my friend Kellie and I shredded it in a bowl and added the other ingredients and ours bubbled up really well! I really had fun making this and now I have a ton of extra ingredients....So if any way if anyone wants bubble bath let me know and I will make you some! I put mine in a regular container from Kmart, I also gave some to Kathy some who put it in a really cute container, Rachael and Kellie put theres in cute containers but mine.... just in a bottle from Kmart :)........and Im not going to make any for anyone at work... they can just have bubble gum unless they read this blog and PERSONALLY request some hahahah

Hasn't EVERYONE that has read the The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe wondered about Turkish Delight and what exactly it is???? and Hasn't EVERYONE read The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe????? I was over at the Adam's house talking to Becky DeFriez. She said she wanted to make turkish delight, because she had just completed a report about Turkey at her school and of course because of the book. So Becky and her brother Matt and her sister Melissa came over and we made.... turkish delight which is one of the wierdest things I have ever made. you boil lemon juice,sugar and water together and you have to do this SO QUICK that we burnt it the first time. We did not put everything in quick enough and had to start over. Then in another pot you stir together cornstarch and water until it reached a "glue-like consistancy" So Matt was just stirring and stirring until all of a sudden it looked like a big glob of glue Matt said "hey everyone so all of a sudden I am stirring then this turned to a glue-like consistancy..." So after that, we mixed the two things together and added rosewater which I had to buy at a health food store in Logan and it cost 7.50$ Becky asked me what I am going to now do with that rosewater. I said it would be sitting right on my spice shelf... and there it is sitting right now and probably will until it ferments......if rosewater ferments.....So we lpoured into one of my really pretty square baking dishes and let it set for 24 hours. The next night Josh ( Becky's older brother) and Becky came over and we cut the Turkish delight into squares. It was so sticky that we had to oil the knife several times. We then rolled it in a mixture of cornstarch and powdered sugar. Josh and I were the first to try it and ....um... wow... yeah.... wish you had seen the look on our faces... it has a VERY INTERESTING taste...not very American and just well interesting...Becky did not like it at all... Don't think that Matt or Melissa did either... Josh took some to his debate team. I took some to my job BARELY ANYONE WOULD EVEN TRY IT!!!
So that is my expierence with turkish delight. I don't think that I will make that until I am a stay-at-home mom and read this book to my kids.... which is like at least 7-8 ish years away until I have a kid old enough to like that book... I might be geared up to make it again by then and I bet my rosewater will still be good hahahahah
