It was good to see you in Jam lat wee...Hey Amanda, <br />It was good to see you in Jam lat week. I'm glad you're okay! <br />I caught my robe on fire while I was making french toast about 6 years ago. I was in my little studio apartment in Crystal City and had never used a gas stove. The sleeve of my robe, then the tie that goes around the waist caught on fire. Thankfully, it mostly smoldered because it was polyester. For some reason, I went from the kitchen, which had linoleum, to the living room carpet to roll around on the ground. Looking back, I'm glad I didn't fan the flames by running in the other room or catch the carpet on fire. The robe was blue but had burn spots so I ended up letting my parent's dog use it as padding on her blanket.Katie R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-77669574801007164692009-08-18T00:12:54.592-04:002009-08-18T00:12:54.592-04:00glad you survived, my little kitchen diva!! :D if...glad you survived, my little kitchen diva!! :D if you have any more abundance of romas, i'd be happy to divest you of some!!lnoreply@blogger.com
