Somedays I am a blonde
Today was going so well. I got off work early again (the building industry has really slowed down and so has the contractor I work for) so I thought I would start another 2 batches of grape juice. I'm into them about 20 minutes when the alarm goes off on my phone, when I check to see what appointment I forgot, it is the chiropractor, so off go the pans and I run to my appointment. Still not a bad day, just a forgetful memory. Then I come back home and turn the grape juice on again and decide that I will download some cd's into my computer and read some more from Midnight Sun while I am waiting for the grapes to steam. In case you are not familiar with Midnight Sun it is from Stephanie Meyers who wrote the Twilight series. This is a story from Edwards perspective. She has posted part of a rough draft on her web site. This is where my day turns bad. I get caught up in the story and keep thinking that I will go check on the grape juice in a few minutes, well this goes on for over an hour and a half. Then all of a sudden I smell a burning smell. I know immediately what it is. The water boiled out of the steamer. When I went to check it, it was worse than I thought. The water not only boiled out, but the grape juice overflowed it's pot and spilled into the water part and that also boiled out. The house smelled awful. Thank goodness there was no smoke. But I had to open up the windows and turn on the ceiling fans to move the smell out. I really hate it when I have these blonde moments. I think I have ruined the water part of my steamer. I will have to go buy a new one. I still bottled the grape juice. It was too hot to taste. I guess we'll find out when we open it if it tastes burnt. Thank goodness no one was home to laugh at me.

That sounds like something I would do. The older I get the harder it is to multi-task. Glad it wasn't worse.
You don't know me. I just got a kick out of your Blonde story. Very funny! For that reason I have not yet read those books. I think I'll wait till I'm on vacation with NOTHING to do!
I enjoyed your site....are you LDS?
