Forget about not crying over spilled milk, I just found myself being happy about it. Sure, when I heard the milk sizzling into my stove top, boiling out of its pan, I may have said a mild curse word and sprinted out to the kitchen like a bat out of hell, but I still had a smile on my face when I cleaned the still hot mess up.
You see, I was "multi-tasking" again. Which I can sometimes do well, but if I get too involved in one task and completely forget the other, then I don't do so well. What happened today was, that I really really wanted a Starbucks Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate, and I really needed to get my documents together for my insurance claims for my counseling. So, I started milk boiling in the kitchen, and went to the printer in my bedroom to print out the receipts, which are e-mailed to me.
I don't think I was in my bedroom for five seconds before I completely forgot about the milk and the hot chocolate. As I was finishing printing I heard that lovely boiling over sizzling milk sound from the kitchen. Suddenly I remembered the hot chocolate, and I hurdled my dogs carrier, my bed, and countless other obstacles, and sprinted to the kitchen. Luckily, Not much milk had boiled out, there was enough for my hot chocolate.
This is probably the second time I have done this, and both times, I was slightly glad. You see, things like this remind me that I need to clean the stove top IMMEDIATELY. So I bust out my Pampered Chef Silicon oven mitt, (Thank you Julie Shaver for getting married, and having a Pampered Chef bridal shower so I could buy that wonderful wonderful invention.) and then I took the burner apart and cleaned off the milk before it got all sticky and impossible to get off .In the mean time, I cleaned the stove top, and the space underneath it, and it seems like the milk loosened up some of those hard to get off spots that had been there a while.
My stove top has never looked cleaner. Now, I have to finish my hot chocolate before I head to the church for a baptism for one of our Primary kids. Oh, but really quickly, one more thing. I got a hand written letter from a Jehovah's Witness today inviting me to have free Bible studies in my home with some authorized teachers of the bible. I'm really not interested in meeting with them, but it was nice to get a hand written letter, and I enjoyed reading the testimony of whomever wrote it. I thought about sending them a pass along card, but then decided to just respect our religious differences and move on. They didn't have a name on the letter any way, so it probably would have gone in the trash, but it would have been a fun exchange I am sure. More people should write hand written letters, they just make you feel good.
