Fire in the hole

Actually to be honest it wasn't a hole so much as it was my OVEN.
That's right I set the oven on fire.
It looked a little soemthing like this.

I don't just mean I burned something and set the fire alarm off, I mean when I opened the oven door there were large red and orange FLAMES jumping out.
If I hadn't of been so panicked I might have even cooked myself a SMORE but instead I slammed the door shut, cursed out loud and turned the oven off. My heart was racing but I just stood there hoping the house wouldn't catch on fire. The fire alarm went off and snapped me back into, I opened the door a second time to see if it magically put itself out only to find it had gotten bigger and my house was filling with thick black smoke. So I grabbed the oven mitt in one hand, turned the water on full blast and armed myself with the sprayer, I threw open the oven door and just started spraying!
I went from cooking dinner, to full panic mode, almost tears, to putting out a fire and when all was said and done I did what I always do when I realize no harm was actually done and I dodged a bullet- I burst into a fit of giggles. Ugh. I wish I knew why I did that so I could stop it from happening.
As for the oven it was just fine and cooked my dinner perfectly later. The house, smelt terrible, still does. (I had to tell Jeff the whole story on our way home from the train station so he would know why the house was engulfed in a black smoke cloud.)
And let's just say I've learned my lesson about broiling things that probably shouldn't be broiled.

1, 2...10

The last TEN months have flown by so fast!

So glad to have spent them with this handsome guy by my side.

Overdue

Haven't posted in a while, Jeff and I have been extra busy lately working and writing research papers (him not me, thankfully). Not much to report as of late. Went to an awesome "Pinkalicious" birthday party last night, ate some good food, played with a chubby bebe and laughed my butt off while this took place..



The Birthday girl loving the Barbie we got her.

Chloe babes

Our cute friends the Christensens (minus chloe)

Not looking forward to working all evenings this week and then dropping my hubs off on Friday (early. early.) morning to go home to Utah. LAME!!!!!!!! Ah well. That's the life of a full time Suga Mamma!

SHOUT OUT

Here's a shout out to me and mine. 9 months!
Love you sug!

My Funny Valentine

We made Valentines our own this year. No flowers, no silly gifts or chocolates. We got dressed up, we went to a ma and pa breakfast diner had delicious plates of french toast, french toast sandwiches, eggs, and toast. Our waitress even told me she had noticed my ring and liked it better than her own. Saweet right?
We went home and Jeffrey studied for his new rotation while I baked some yummy individual molten lava cakes. We decided to split one and took one downstairs for our friend/neighbor Donna who was home. Later my romantic guy turned on some Frank Sinatra and we danced "Cheek to Cheek" right there in our front room.
LOVED it.

Norwalk

Most of you who read this blog probably already know that since we have been back home from Utah (4 1/2 weeks) that Jeff has been living in Norwalk for his pediatric rotation during the week and coming home on the weekends. Bleh. I miss him when he doesn't come home. Well, I decided to quit talking about going down there for a visit and actually went down after work on monday afternoon to spend the night with him. When it took me 25 minutes to drive 2 blocks to get from the hospital parking lot to the entrance of the freeway I got a little worried that with all the ailments (ie. weather, traffic, etc.) that I would not make it down there but lucky for me it was a straight shot after I got onto the 95. The drive was really pretty and I pulled into his apartment across from the hospital just before it got dark and got to have a little look around.
We went on a special field trip to Stew Leonard's. It is an awesome homegrown, fresh, huge dairy grocery store. I don't know how else to describe it but that it's pretty sweet for a grocery store and was even featured on the tv show Ripley's Believe It or Not. It comes complete with what I would call a cross of Disneyland's Splash Mountain and Chuckee Cheese characters who sing and dance about fresh milk/produce. LOL Anyway it was so cool, their food all completely fresh and most home produced and very reasonably priced and I can't help but wish that there was one a lot closer to us, I would be there everyday. Ha



We picked up a red box and went back to his ghetto little apartment that he is living in. I had to take pictures because it was too good not to. The place is straight from the 70's, I was loving it.









We had dinner and watched half the movie before falling asleep. Luckily, Jeff didn't have to work early and we got to have breakfast together before I dropped him across the street at the hospital and headed home for work. It was a fun little sleepover and nice to be with my man even if it was only for a night.
I think I'll go for another visit soon :)
