How to make your VISA bill disappear....
As I was doing the laundry today I made my VISA bill disappear. Unfortunately I didn't change the balance like how is happens in those commercials, however, it was almost as magical!
I pulled my clothing out of the washer only to find an envelope, a one-page statement, and 2 junk adverts disintegrated into only a few million tiny pieces. As I pulled the clothing out I gave them all a good shaking. The funny part is my landlord's laundry room now looks like it has been hit by one of those freak snowstorms. The bad news is the clothing is back in the washer for round 2 and I am short clothing for my big day at school tomorrow.

Flaming Kitchen
I managed to start a fire in the oven this morning.
(yes, the picture was done in AutoCAD)
You see, I had dropped cheese on the element last week and forgot about it... Merely minutes after rolling out of bed I turned on the oven to roast a squash, (I was making soup), and I smelt this funny burning. I was toasting bread at the same time and I figured it was just some really bad smelling bread I bought, (that sprouted wheat no flour stuff). I then looked in the oven only to find a foot high flame. I blew it out, and managed to open all the windows preventing the smoke detector from beeping at me.
Don’t worry the story continues... In my morning brilliance I figured I would put the squash on wax paper to prevent it from burning on to the cookie sheet. I didn't realize wax paper would melt and start smoking. That time I wasn't so lucky and the smoke detector started on at me. It is good to test it once a month, I have heard.
Once all was said and done the soup was pretty good!
