1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? ... I did once. It was very scary. I mean, Scariest Deal EVER. Fire is Serious Business. It involved the backyard and a charcoal barbeque grill. I was saved by having a hose nearby. It is amazing how FAST a Fire can explode and travel. I thought the back of my house was a goner then the rest of the neighborhood...it was THAT scary.

1 When is the last time you were on an Airplane? 2005 Where'd ya go? we had driven down the east coast to see the Wallflowers from NY ending in Raleigh. I had a credit and decided to fly back.

1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? ... yes, candle burning on the dining room table. I was in the bedroom on the phone w/ Apple (I had a MAC at the time) and was trouble shooting something when I said to the woman, I smell smoke, walked out and saw the dining room table on fire. I dropped the phone, grabbed the tablecloth and threw it in the bathtub. thankfully I had a pad over the table (hand me down from Grandma) so the pad burned, but no damage to the table. SCARY!

1 When is the last time you were on an Airplane? Where'd ya go? How was your flight? January 2000-Philadelphia. I think that was the flight where we were stuck on the plane for three or four hours on the runway (can't remember why anymore). It was about 65 deg and gorgeously sunny in Philly and we flew back into Erie and it was like 25 deg (cruel, cruel) and the flight that time of year is always turbulent coming into Erie because of the winds.
2 If you could spend 1 week ANYWHERE, but it had to start THIS Friday (meaning you have four days to plan), where would you go? the ocean. doesn't matter which one as long as somewhere warm and sunny. and clean. and not crowded.

1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? Yup. Just last summer/fall. I was taking something out of the oven and I had a tissue in my shirt pocket. When I bent over, the tissue fell out of my pocket into the oven and caught on fire. Doofus that I am, I grabbed it and threw it down. It landed on the carpet (naturally, not the linoleum!) and left a nasty little melty spot. If I'd just shut the oven door, it would have burnt itself out!
2 I heard that Mr Groundhog kissed his shadow again this year, so Spring should be on the way...what are you MOST looking forward to about this upcoming Spring and Summer? I think he must've kissed his shadow's buttockal region cause spring isn't anywhere near us! Looking forward to sun on my skin, warm breezes, smells of things growing. I decided I need to buy some flowering plants today before I go crazy.

1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? I have. It was July 2007 and it was a grease fire. I was standing in the kitchen talking to valleydaughter as the wok heated up for a stir fry. I was using olive oil which you shouldn't allow to get too hot. Just as I took a step towards it to put the chicken in, it went POOF as I had allowed it to get too hot! Fortunately the wok lid was on the counter and I smothered it; but then I lifted the lid and it re-ignited. I told valleydaughter to call down to her dad in the basement as I covered it again. He ran upstairs and carried the wok outdoors, keeping it smothered. It was a good lesson for valleydaughter to learn about cooking, as she was a week away from moving out. She is a very careful cook, so something good came of it.
2 I heard that Mr Groundhog kissed his shadow again this year, so Spring should be on the way...what are you MOST looking forward to about this upcoming Spring and Summer? I love being able to leave the house without boots, a coat, hat or gloves. It is so freeing. I also look forward to our portable hot tub being put up. Because it is soft it cannot weather freezing temps, so we only enjoy it from May through October.

1 When is the last time you were on an Airplane? Where'd ya go? How was your flight? I know it was before 9/11 ... it must have been when we flew to Utah for my niece's wedding. The flight was fine. I don't know if I would enjoy flying now--it sounds like it can be such a hassle.
2 If you could spend 1 week ANYWHERE, but it had to start THIS Friday (meaning you have four days to plan), where would you go? Whoa, I'll have to think for a minute--there are SO many places I'd like to go. Since there's only four days to plan, I guess I'll say Hawaii.

1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? Only in the oven--I tried roasting some vegetables but I used a cookie sheet instead of a sheet pan (with sides). Of course all the oil dripped off the cookie sheet onto the element, and the oven was full of flame and smoke. Fortunately I remembered to throw salt on the fire to smother it (used the whole box!), and it went out.
2 I heard that Mr Groundhog kissed his shadow again this year, so Spring should be on the way...what are you MOST looking forward to about this upcoming Spring and Summer? Spring is here on Puget Sound. Shrubs and trees are in bloom, daffodils are blooming ... I'm looking forward to getting caught up on my yard work which has been sadly neglected for the last two years. I've already started pruning, and it was such fun!
BONUS QUESTION: What is on your desk that you have not used in a looooong time! (Stapler, Dictionary White-Out Etc...) Well, since I just got a new computer for Christmas and redid my whole desk arrangement, nothing is on the desk that I don't use. Now, in the desk is a whole 'nother story. Plus there are still boxes labeled "Desk Supplies" that we haven't unpacked since moving into the house four years ago ... some of that stuff may be worth money as antiques.

1 When is the last time you were on an Airplane? Where'd ya go? How was your flight? November, when I visited family at Thanksgiving. Washington, D.C. Flight was delayed, coming and going. Ugh. I used to love flying. I hate it now.
2 If you could spend 1 week ANYWHERE, but it had to start THIS Friday (meaning you have four days to plan), where would you go? That's hard, because I always travel light, and I could be ready to go pretty much anywhere in a day. Anywhere? Nice, France. That's my answer today anyway.

1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? ... I accidently set one of the fryers at work on fire. I was draining it and forgot to turn it off and one of the coils caught on fire. It was just a little fire and went out. I'm the only one who's ever set one of them on fire. In fact recently one of them caught on fire and there were a lot of flames and they had to use the fire extinguisher.

Ugh, I'm taking an all-day advanced Excel class today and it's so over my head it's not even funny. But at least I'm getting my required training hours! Lunch break is almost over so let me answer these questions real quick:
1 When is the last time you were on an Airplane? Where'd ya go? How was your flight? January 6, on the way back from Vegas. Flight was fun because I was with my son but there was that poor screaming child right behind us...
2 If you could spend 1 week ANYWHERE, but it had to start THIS Friday (meaning you have four days to plan), where would you go? Anyplace with a nice soft-sand beach.
1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? Yes, I believe I was 9 or 10 years old. My parents had gone out for the evening and I was home with my older sister. I had recently become fascinated with lighting matches, and I decided to see what would happen if I set a tissue on fire. Did I ever say I was the most brilliant child? Anyway, of course the tissue went up in an instant flame and I threw it from my hand before I got burned, but it did burn a small hole in the blanket on my bed and burned a small spot of my carpet. Miss braniac ran and got a glass of water to douse the flames, and by some miracle I got it out with minimal damage. When my parents got home I had to tell them what happened and I promised I wouldn't play with matches anymore. They were so relieved that I hadn't burned the house down that I didn't even get in trouble! (Serves them right for smoking and leaving matches around the house!)
2 I heard that Mr Groundhog kissed his shadow again this year, so Spring should be on the way...what are you MOST looking forward to about this upcoming Spring and Summer? Not that it's been crazy cold here but I am looking forward to warmer weather and lots of green and flowers.

1 Have you ever accidentally started a Fire? Actually I have. I was rewiring stage lights and MISconnected two wires. Thank God they were ON the stage when we plugged them in. Whoosh from the outlet to the lights it immediately caught fire. A fellow technician took off his coat and quickly put it out. I immediately noticed my mistake and rewired and everything was fine. Scary 10 seconds though.
