That's hot! (No, not a tribute to Paris Hilton...) Awesome: finally taking a couple of hours and making quite fabulous chicken soup Not Awesome: forgetting that stove elements = hot. Perhaps it might have helped to have looked at the plastic pop bottle six inches away from the element that was melting due to the indirect heat? I am now the proud new owner of a fabulous blister on the pad of my left middle finger, and the rest of my middle finger and ones on either side are now a very attractive shade of swollen, uncomfortable red. S'ok...I didn't need that left hand anyway. Next time, I shall look at my stove and remember..."that's hot!" Awesome: dancing nerdishly in front of the bathroom mirror to the Numa Numa song and not caring that someone is laughing at you. Not Awesome: dancing nerdishly in front of the bathroom mirror to the Numa Numa song while holding a very hot ceramic straightening iron. On the plus side, I again burnt my left hand, which had already been rendered useless. Next time, I shall look at my straightener and remember..."that's hot!" Awesome: Bonfires on the beach, trucks blasting the music [note: dancing on sand is more difficult than it looks], and copious amounts of alcohol. Not Awesome: Melting the soles of my brand new shoes because I was lounging too close to the fire. Considering that I am a complete pyrophobe, I'll just go right ahead and blame the booze. Yep, not awesome. Next time, I shall look at a bonfire and remember..."that's hot!" The moral of the story? I'm an idiot. Or perhaps I'm just cold-blooded and am attracted to heat? Or...uh... And on a completely unrelated note, I'm aware that I haven't blogged in several weeks...and harassing emails will not make me post any faster! Although I realize that I've just gone and set the precedent that harassing emails = blog post, that's not actually why I posted. Really! Liberated at 11:40 p.m. | |
