I set my office on fire yesterday.
I dumped my ashtray into the trash, & it caught fire...oooops!
I'd waited a goodly while before I dumped it, & I have these crappy new non-flammable cigs, so I figgered it was safe enough.
Then I started cooking dinner, & noticed a stinky buirning smell. That's when I discovered the fire on my desk!
Gathered it all up & ran with the burning stuff for the front door, but singed my hands pretty good & dropped it on the hall carpet. It's pretty old, & I was in a rush, so I just stomped it out at that point. Took a lil while to get the rest of the stuff out...there was embers in stacks of papers. The hall carpet's ruined, too, but that's no big loss. It was fun juggling the fire & dinner & Jace...but I managed. This all took about 10 minutes, for me to accomplish nearly total devestation...
Needless to say - I'm in trouble again.
All's well, but it's a lil stinky.
The moral of the story? I'm an idjit & should be kicked in the bum. (Fortunately, I'm married to a wonderful world-class bum-kicker!)

SMILE - it's the safest way to spread your cheeks!
