Why I no longer have arm hair

Before I start this post you should know that I am fine, the baby is fine, and the cats are fine.

Last night around 7:50 I started making dinner - the FH had played golf with his Dad that evening and was running a little late and I had thrown myself on the couch because I had a long day of running around after Doctors and lunch out with the FH and shoe shopping. I had some chicken that needed to be grilled and I thought that rather then being lazy and using the grill pan on the stove I would actually go outside and use the grill. So I put the cats in their cat playpen outside and I attempt to start the grill. When I put the long stick lighter next to the grill to light it up and I click the button a fire ball happens - it was less then one second and it was more shocking then scary and it didn't hurt or anything. But I look around and I realize that all my arm hair has been singed off. And the smell of burnt hair is heavy in the humid air - ewww and gross.

I look down and the belly is unharmed and she's still kicking so everything is okay on that end. Phew.

Being vain the next thing I think of is my eyebrows because HOW awful would that be if I no longer had eyebrows and every picture of me with our new baby would feature me sans eyebrows....luckily they were still in place on my head needing a good wax but at least they were there. Needless to say that was the last grilling experience for a while - I'll be using the grill pan moving forward.

So I won't be grilling this July 4th - but I will be enjoying a turkey hot dog and I'm hoping to whip up some Pasta Salad and enjoy the time with the FH. Hope you have a great day and take a minute to appreciate these freedoms we have and think of those people that have given their lives for these freedoms.
