I broke my stove last month.  It was completely stupid.  I dropped a bottle of soy sauce, and the glass top shattered.  The bottle survived.  I had no idea that glass top stoves were so delicate!  When I called GE to find out how much the replacement part would be, they quoted me an absolutely astronomical number.  It was almost as expensive as a brand new stove.  A friend sent me to this website, and I was amazed!  Not only did they have the part I needed for over $100 cheaper than it would cost to order it from GE, but they emailed us detailed instructions on how to install it, with color photos - I was really impressed!

Fear

So, here’s what scares me these days.  Every so often, I find an errant sippy cup somewhere - in the car, under the couch, in the corner of a toy box, somewhere - a sippy cup that once contained milk, but now contains something else entirely.  Something chunky and disgusting that smells absolutely evil.  I am afraid to open these sippy cups.  Here are two that have been sitting on my kitchen counter for a week, I think.  Ew. 

One of these days, I will gather the courage to open them, confront the evil inside, and destroy it with lots of hot water and dish soap.  But not today.
