Oh My Hell!

Yesterday after hours of Christmas shopping, we came home and started getting our presents ready for the Brigg's 2nd annual White Elephant Christmas Party. Well, I had a candle burning on my kitchen counter. As I was fixing the tissue paper to put in the gift bag, I accidentally flung it on top of the candle. It caught on fire so fast I didn't know what to do. I threw it on the ground and started stomping on it. That didn't put it out. So I started screaming for John to come downstairs. Luckily the fire alarm started going off or I don't think he would have come. Once the tissue paper was all burned up the fire went out. If I would have been thinking logically, I would have ran over to the kitchen sink and put it out with water. But no, I decided to fling it everywhere to try and put it out. So needless to say, it took about an hour to clean up all the ash and I can still smell the smoke. So, if you need a gift idea for me....it sounds like a fire extinguisher might be handy!! Just kidding!
