My brother was babysitting....no major damage (except the pan) but there was soot in the house for a good long while. <br /><br />Don't be too hard on yourself...you could throw a Christmas tablecloth on top and deal with it after the holidays : )Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201090016274091080.post-43043186215742948762009-11-30T18:20:23.360-08:002009-11-30T18:20:23.360-08:00Wow - that totally sounds like something I would d...Wow - that totally sounds like something I would do!

It's hard to...Oh, I'm sorry that happened! It's hard to see a much loved item damaged, it really is. The things around us are the witnesses to our lives, and feel like part of them. <br /><br />For whatever it may be worth, I don't buy microwave popcorn, and when we have it I pop it the old fashioned way, but I've burned a pan on occasion. <br /><br />Still, that doesn't help your kitchen table. I know you love your table, but it was still a good day because better the table than you, or someone you loved being burned, I suppose. <br /><br />Perhaps it could be stripped and sanded? A tablecloth might do the trick? <br /><br />I really am sorry, I have things around me that I dearly love also. Luckily they are things and all that jazz about material goods, yadda bladda, who cares? You burned something you cared about, and that plainly sucks. <br /><br />I hope today goes much better for you. It's all well and good to go the preachy, "Well now, it's just a table..." and whereas that's true, it is okay to care about our things. We work hard for them, for one thing. <br /><br />Plus, it's always so hard when something happens due to a preventable mistake. On the only upside I can think of, Amy, you've got a lot of company in having done something like that. We all do. <br /><br />It's not your fault that you're human and fallible, as we all are, but it never feels good to have the evidence of that, does it?Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.com
