We weren't expecting to have to buy a major appliance this month, but I had an unfortunate discovery when we got home from Ore to Shore. Scott dropped me off at home so I could go to work while he had dinner with my parents. Lucky him, unlucky me, right?
Anyways, our house was so hot when I went inside that I started melting immediately. I called Scott to tell him that our house was as hot as an oven and he said that it made sense since our air conditioner was off all weekend. But when when I went into our kitchen I realized that my statement was downright prophetic! Our oven had been ON ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!
Trust me when I say I that was 2 seconds away from dropping to the floor and calling the fire department. I was like, "where's the fire house when I need it?" But then I remembered that I can barely lift the thing anyways, so I just waited outside for Scott to come home. Keep in mind that the oven wasn't actually on fire, but it felt like it was going to blow-up at any second.
If your wondering why I didn't just turn the oven off, it's because the dial was already on the off setting. Somehow using the stovetop was triggering the oven to turn on by itself! Freaky! Needless to say we will not be using this oven EVER again.
OK, off to ride my Dos Niner. In the meantime, Kyia has a great race report about Ore to Shore that you can read right now!

The thermostat went out on the oven. Which was causing it to light itself automatically. Since two of the burners were already shot it only hastened the purchase. We were due for a new one anyway. Funny thing is that now we'll have a nice stainless steel stove sitting in the middle of our tiny little 60s kitchen.
