28....29.....Augghh!

30.  

Well, I hit the big 3-0 this week.  I knew I was old when I completed a survey yesterday and had to check the next age bracket up.  We had a little shindig to celebrate last night.  

We hired a local wine steward, Jack, to come bring lots of wine and tell us a little bit about it while we "tasted" throughout the night.  I use the word tasted lightly....because 25 bottles came and went pretty easy.  It was so much fun though and it was a bit like being at a winery in your own house.

Of course we had a little bit of drama before the party started.  

Key Players: Melissa, Andy, Addison, Jack the wine steward, 5 pizza boxes, oven.

M: "Andy, can you throw the pizzas in the oven to keep them warm?"

A: Yeah, done.

I get Addison in the bath with only 30 minutes until the party....I'm not even ready yet.

M: OMG, (yes, I'm 30 and still use that)...what's burning?  Andy, can you go check on the pizzas?

A: @^#$*@&%!!  IT"S ON FIRE!!!!

I grab Addison, still with soap in her hair and naked, and run towards the kitchen.  

Doorbell rings....Jack is here.  I answer the door, thinking Andy has this little "fire" under control by now.  Open the door for Jack while holding naked Addison.....

A: "Get in here.....I'm not kidding!!!"

 

I run in the kitchen and see Andy at the sink, and think, "oh good, everything is under control"...only to find a foot of flames coming up from the pizza BOX.

Oh yes, I said box.  

Lesson: Do not put 5 pizza boxes in the oven all at once....or one for that matter.

Anyways....here are some party pics.
