New World Record

I am sure it isn't really but I could have sworn I set the record for the longest projectile of a liquid this evening. We are about to have some house guests and we were in need of our monthly grocery shopping. Except for bread, eggs and milk I try to only go to the grocery store once a month.

My theory is if we run out we didn't need it or it can wait till the next shopping trip. It is an exhausting trip to BJ's stocking up and then trying to manipulate the pantry to make it all fit. I was moving things around and a very large jar of spaghetti sauce committed food-cide from the top shelf. It hit the floor like a bullet and about scared the pee out of me.

Standing on a stool the plastic jar didn't break but it hit the ground with such force it shattered the lid right off. This wasn't just any jar it was a GINORMOUS jar from the bulk food store. It was all over the floor, walls, doors, appliances, half way across the room in the kitchen sink and easily 25 feet away on the wall. Talk about some powerful sauce. I was SO MAD!!!

I had not eaten much today and was hungry, had not seen the kids all day and wanted to hang out with them, and still had half my groceries to put away after I cleaned up the sauce. I felt like I was on one of those science shows testing projectile objects. The best part was when Phil walked in the door and I told him what happened.

He looked at me and said, ''How did you manage to make such a mess in the kitchen and not get one drop on you?"

There was no answer it was just one of those strange phenomenon, I guess.

So what did I learn today?

I know how to launch a full jar of spaghetti sauce at least 25 feet.....wanna see???

Happy Middle of the week!

TTFN~
