An unfortunate event...

Pregnancy was kicking my tail on Sunday, so I rested most of the day. By the evening, I was pretty nauseous. It clearly got worse when Corby had to cook his chicken for his weekly lunches. The smell just about put me over the edge. So being the problem solver that he is, he grabbed my favorite candle and lit it in the kitchen.

He joined me in the den and massaged my feet (he's the best!). He looked into the kitchen and saw the entire candle up in flames. Like...the whole thing. It required water being dumped on it for us to get the flame out. Thankfully we saw it before it sent my cookbook in flames...and burnt down my cabinets! The countertop underneath the candle didn't fair so well. Our countertops are already pretty terrible and stain ridiculously easily....now I can say they melt, crack, and burn easily. Too bad that remodeled kitchen is the 3rd project on our list!




The aftermath of the candle



My poor countertop...and being at the edge of the counter, there's no way to cover it!
