Sandy - girl - we live parallel lives. I was boiling water on the stove and couldn't believe what a bad smell was coming off of the burner. I chalked it up to leftover cauliflower from the previous day (shocking, me cooking vegetables, not so shocking, me not cleaning the stove after cooking). After taking the cooked pasta off of the stove, I heard a loud pop and then realized that it was my car keys that were under the coil during the cooking. My remote entry fob had completely melted and the battery had blown out of it.

lovely, huh!!

missed you and your stories and your laugh this weekend!

Sounds like a good sock trade all around. Happy Birthday Andy!

I had the - What if they don't fit her?! anxiety. Luckily they fit her and she loves them.

So sorry about the burning plastic! I have done that many a time. Maybe that could be an argument on why I need a personal chef.

Sockapalooza anxiety? Yep, I have it . . . I'm terrified that my sock pal won't like the socks I sent to her! Though if she does despise them, I will never know, 'cause she has no blog (I don't even have an email address for her). Still, I'm a little scared.

Dear Traffic Director, Sandy,

Thanks for all the publicity. I am giggling in delight with each new comment.

MWAH! [That was a kiss on the hand flung all the way to Massachusetts.]

Is it OK to wear my new socks two days in a row? Not saying that I did that or anything. Just checking, you know, for a friend.

*Twilight Zone* That plastic bowl must have smelled similar to my burned heating pad a month or so ago! It took a long time for the burned smell to get out of my microwave, and I sometimes have "smell hallucinations" of it.
Happy Birthday to your Andy !

Hi, just happened upon your site, and I love the pattern you used for the sockapalooza socks. Another book I must buy. Thanks~

I do know what you mean- I am sooo nervous that my sock pal won't like her socks. happy Happy Birthday to your hubby!!

Happy Birthday Andy...March b-days are the best.
How cool your socks look so good on Neysa! She has a great blog. I haven't heard that my socks arrived nor have a received anything yet, so you're lucky!
I hate when I do stuff like burn plastic on the stove. Drat with that!

Whoa, the burning Ziploc bowl could have been a lot worse.... Glad that it wasn't.

Oh no, not the Ziploc Bowl. It had a short but full life, giving it's all for the cause.

Happy Day to your Guy, now is it Steek or teh Cable Guy?

Okay, as Norma's personal fire fighter, let me wanr that plastic melts ;)

It happens. at least it was only the burner and not the whole house. But that is when I get to go out and play... Some how I am thinking a lesson on what we do is in order for a posting soon.

I love the socks youmade. They are cute.

How could she not love those gorgeous socks! And no, you're not neurotic. (or at least if you are then I am too ;) )Everytime I mail out a package to anyone I'm on pins and needles until I hear if they liked it.

Happy Birthday Andy! You've got a terrific wife, dontchano...

Oh kid, I've done that to plastic bowls before. And nope, I wasn't able to salvage the burner. I knew just what it was when I saw the picture--ha!

You're almost done with another EC?! Fantastic!! Can't wait to see it on you!! Have a terrific Friday! xxooxxoo
