Reasons why I'm up so late...
I blew up the kitchen...
Well, almost. I don't get along well with electric ranges. I was boiling some green beans on the front burner and there was a pyrex casserole dish on the back burner. Little did I know there was a DVD inside the pyrex casserole dish. How did I find out about the DVD? Well I heard a loud pop and when I turned around there was glass all over the kitchen, smoke coming out of the stove and burning plastic, from the DVD cover. I hear pyrex isn't supposed to explode, but that was not my experience this evening.
My mom's car was almost "stolen"...
My mom came downstairs at 11:30 this evening because she was sure there was someone in her car. She was getting ready to go outside and confront this car thief (try not to think about how potentially unsafe this might be) when I realized that her keys were sitting on the table and my pseudo-brother was playing with the key tag earlier trying to "mute" me. He managed to not only unlock, but turn on the car using the key tag. Those things work from quite a distance.
I had to watch Grey's Anatomy...
The kitchen incident this evening kept me from getting to my parents house in time to watch The Office. Fortunately, my dad threw in a tape just in time to catch most of Grey's Anatomy. I had to fast forward through an entire West Virginia football game in order to watch, but it was worth it. I was a little disappointed towards the end of the episode. We'll see what happens next week.

Oh my goodness Claire! Craziness. If it makes you feel better; Jacob, Maggie, and I didn't know you couldn't heat a casserole on the stove, so we put it on the burner and cranked the heat up. About 10 minutes later, casserole and glass were strune across the kitchen. It was awful. I'm thinking they just do that if heated from the bottom. Yikes!

Claire! Wow girlie! What a time you had! I was cooking the other day and had plastic tongs that I set on top of a plate that was my cover for my rice... I got focused on the other food I was cooking and the tongs turned into this bacon-looking substance on the plate and the plate cracked when I put it in the sink. YIKES... yay for crazy cooking stories!
When I saw Heidi's note I started singing:
Oh What a Night, Late December back in 63.... haha
Maybe you can remake the song by your events!
Oh What a night, late September back in o-o-seven...
Hope all is going well!
