Ok, Murphy's Law is alive and well.
I have had some interesting events lately. While talking to granddaughter, Brittani, I grabbed the box and stirred up some cornstarch and water to add to the crock pot stew (that really tasted good). Then I added it to thicken the stew...well, I watched it boil straight up two inches above the crock pot and then run like mad out of the pot. When it was thru, there was no liquid in the pot and all my hand towels were sopping up the river. In the pot was the most beautiful pink hamburger, clean potatoes and carrots, not a drop of pepper could be seen, nor any bits or pieces of onion. I glanced over to the box and realized it was orange not yellow...I had used baking soda...not cornstarch. I have never seen cleaner, purer veggies and hamburger in my life...and they had no taste at all! And they were mushy...I added seasonings and some cream of chicken soup...and we ate it.
Next day, I thawed out frozen cookie dough balls and baked them. I did this to get the oven warm for the rolls I was making for a funeral. Guess what, my oven stopped working some where during the last part of baking the cookies. I didn't realize it at that time, and made a dash to Holbrook to the bank and some get some stuff from Safeway for the Relief Society, while the bread dough raised. I could see I was pushing the time limit and felt inspired to buy 3 dozen rolls...just in case they didn't rise fast enough...Well, I realized the oven was not warming up as I was preparing the rolls...so I made the dough into loafs and froze them...we will see how that works today as I am thawing them out and taking the to Grandma's house.
I dressed for the funeral, my button popped off the jacket, so I refused to even try to put on nylons!
As I got the items out of the car, my back door latch was messed up and couldn't shut the door. I tried to get it to release...no such luck. I hoped no one would try to shut it for me....yep, there were others who tried and told me it wouldn't shut. So, I got Uncle Allen to look at it and he fixed it in about 30 seconds...Thank heavens. I didn't want to use duck tape on it to get home.
My cell phone vibrated during the funeral, a call that I have been waiting 4 weeks to reply, tried to contact me....so goes life. The funeral went late, so I couldn't call them back...what luck. It was interesting to watch the bishopric try to figure who's phone it was, I was in the choir right behind them.
Yep, some times you just have to be thankful for the boring days of your lives...just not this week!
Oh, it also changes the mean plans for JC bring a cute girl home for the weekend...do you know how much you use your oven?????

I feel your pain!!! Been there. But still a great way to get a new one.
Wait JC has a girl friend..A oh. He is bringing her home. You know what that means??? #7 will bit the dust
I am glad that I am movig to JC right in time for the possibility of fun news in the family! When things like that happen to me - I wonder many times if I just go back to bed and try again if every thing will be back to normal when I wake up again.
