A science lesson up close and personal. The Imp and I were putting cans of coke into the refrigerator and 2 were knock over and began rolling to the edge...I grabbed one and tried to yell to the Imp to get the other, but before I could form coherent words...wishing she could interpret my, "aahghh, ahhgha, aaahhhh" to mean, "Grab it!"...the can rolled onto the tile floor. And yes, it exploded. Quite impressively. The Imp found the whole thing interesting and amusing. Me? Much less so. I was spared the full impact of the explosion, as I was on the other side of the counter. But the explosion was rather impressive. Coke splattered on the wall 15 feet away! I took about an hour to wash everything down. I mused, "I guess this is a sign to stop drinking coke." And the Imp quickly told me she didn't see that message in the event. She thought it was a message to not sweat the small stuff and relax and laugh. We did have a few laughs as we were cleaning and she was a trooper in helping get rid of the sticky stuff. She kept the can. [It looks so cool.]
Hubby and I are taking the laminate plunge this weekend. We purchased the 300sq ft of laminate that we need and are letting it acclimate in our home so we can install it Saturday. The idea being that even if everything goes wrong we should be finished by the end of the July 4th weekend. Of course, I'm hoping for a much quicker completion date. Our house isn't really big enough to move the furniture out of the living room without impacting every other room of the house. With the Singer home from college already using any available storage space, it will not be comfortable to be in the house until we can move the furniture back in the room. As the couch has to camp out in the kitchen during this process, I was very thankful it wasn't already in the kitchen when we had the coke explosion.
I started teaching a crochet summer class. Just 4 weeks...a true intro class. I had 5 little girls (10-15 years old...they wouldn't appreciate the terminology) yesterday and I enjoyed myself immensely. I may have to start a crafts club for the school year with the homeschooling group. It really is fun.
