The oddly normal life of Clorie

 To use a self cleaning oven takes 2 hours MINIMUM. I will remember that for future reference. I started the cleaning process because well, my oven is dirty, and also I thought it being 900 degrees might just warm the house up a tad bit (its chilly out today!) I was right, it did warm the house. It also made my plan for dinner go down the tube, so Chinese it was. It also foiled my plan to bake bread, well I still baked bread, but now because I started so late here I am... Up still at midnight waiting for the last loaf to finish.  Oh, and for some reason my Amish Friendship bread thought it would be a great idea to REALLY rise this go around...
