So tonight I had a near disaster experience. Let me humor some of you by telling my story. My Husband basically has his pride and joy as you see above, his Yamaha Rhino. Well we were borrowing it to some of our friends this weekend and it was in our garage dirty, which is a very rare occassion because my husband never leaves his toys dirty, but that is besides the point. He called me and asked me to go and wash it off in the driveway so it wasn't so dirty when they picked it up. I was bored so I agreed to wash it. Frankie gets so excited to go on the rhino so when I started to back it our of the garage he wants a ride and we travel a few short blocks to my friends house to say hello and borrow a few potatoes. After returning to my driveway I smell something on FIRE! I leaned forward to see if it was coming from the engine and it was not then I get out and smell it so strong I decide to look underneath it and there I see a full on fire, not even kidding you. My mind is pretty much thinking this thing could seriously blow up cause the gas tank is not that far away from where the fire was. Frankie meanwhile is still in the front seat so I pull him out and shove him into the garage yelling to go in the house and he's saying "why mommy, that Rhino, give me the keys." I grabbed the hose and started spraying the fire and it did go out. I probably sprayed it for like ummm EVER cause I was scared maybe it wasn't all the way out. So after it goes out I am looking under it to find the problem and my wonderful Husband had gone rabbit hunting and left what looked like the whole dang shrubbing bushes and weeds stuck in the bottom right by the pipe so therefore when it got hot it went up in flames. Luckily the only thing I ruined was the pipe. I say it's his fault and meanwhile I am just relieved that it's over. At least it gave me something to post about.

WOW - Now you cannot say you having a boring life!!!
I'm pretty sure I would freak out if I was in your situation. Who knew you were a fireman....You are definitely not the one to blame. Frank should give you a reward for this one:)
You know you would be a single mother right now if you actually would have let the Rhino burn up!! Frank would have left you for sure!
That is scary, I would have probably stressed out so bad, I'd faint and burn to death! Way to handle the situation!
One time I had a fire in my house.....long story, but it involved a candle and a laundry chute. So, anyways, I freaked and called 911 and every fireman that I went to school with was soon at my door with the truck and everything. I thought I would die. Way to take care of it yourself. (By the way, I did have the fire out by the time they got there, but they all trapsed in to my house and saw the mess and everything anyways. VERY NICE!)
Marla I finally stopped looking at your blog because of the dry spell and then BAM, look what happens I missed like two huge post!
Hey, look at your bangs in that picture! You are freakin hot! Cut em and do em like that. I mean, the fangs were good and all but come on. Why would you wanna keep doing that to all the guys in town. It isn't fair!
