The Trials of a Turkey Dinner
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
So, I have not seen my fiancé in about a week (damn Xmas overtime!), and I have the day off, so I figure that I will cook him a nice big turkey dinner (thanksgiving style ... even if it is a month late). I have the coffee on ... the bird in a sink full of warm water, and realize that I forgot to pick up a roasting pan ... well, that isn't too big of a problem, I will just run up to my brother's apartment and borrow one.
I head up there, visit for a few minutes, and come back home. In the elevator it dawns on me ... 'Oh God, I hope I remembered to turn the water in the kitchen sink off ...' NOPE! My kitchen is flooded, my carpet is soaked, and I nearly have a heart attack (thank goodness our apartment has cement floors)!
Well, it is now an hour later, and the oven is just now preheating (I didn't want to turn it on while there was a flood under it ... the last thing WintersDark needs is to wake up to find me dead on the kitchen floor from my own stupidity), and I am exhausted ... and pissy ... I need chocolate! :o(
