I Set Things on Fire...

Yeah, so a week or so before Thanksgiving the heat wasn't working in my apartment. It was Fa-Reezing. I put on my hoody and went in the kitchen to make coffee (as I do every morning). I turned my oven on low to heat up the kitchen and living room a little. It worked! I live small, it didn't take long!

I turned the oven off and headed back to take a shower. When I got out of the shower, something smelled like it was burning, not good!

I went in the kitchen and opened the oven to find a FIRE! Apparently, instead of turning the oven to off, I accidentally turned the oven to BROIL. I have no storage space for my pots and pans, so I keep them stacked neatly in my oven. As a result of this smokin match, my good pan with the oven-proof silicone handle was ablaze!

GAWD.

I proceeded to grab my pot holders, pull it out of the oven (without touching the fire, of course) and threw it into the soap-water filled sink! It sizzled and smoked. Fire overted- yeeesss!

THAT was the point, however, my damn fire alarm started going off. I ran through the house, opened all my windows and used my magazines to fan the smoke. Meanwhile, my neighbor was knocking on my door and my guinea pigs were screaming rape because they didn't know what was going on. (Keep in mind, I had JUST gotten out of the shower and was only wearing a towel). Fml

I Don't Make Mistakes...

I don't make mistakes...I date them.

Last week, I realized a dating trend I seem to always have. Isuppose I never really thought about it, but apparently I just LOVE dating guys who are recently out of relationships. It's my thing... I don't even TRY; I'm just a natural broken-man magnet.

I'm going to do something about this- seriously.

Ladies and gents... The new improved selfish Jen has arrived.

Epic Fail...(but with reason)

I must apologize for the Epic fail that was NaBloPoMo 2009. I had every intention of blogging the last few days but the problem of canceling my home internet service is what presented itself!
My hours at work have been getting cut, Christmas is around the corner and I had to temporarily downsize and stretch my spending. I went cell phone provider shopping which got me a handy dandy Blackberry (of which I am blogging from- thank-you very much). That change saved me fifty bucks per month (Verizon is expensive). I cancelled my Qwest account after the introductory price ended... Need wireless internet again: but I may bundle with my cable to save some cash.
So...yeah... I failed blogging every day in November!

I'll still do my thing during the rest of the year!
