Candles & Carpet...

We just got our carpets cleaned! We've been meaning to do this for a few months, we just haven't gotten around to it. Due to a recent experience we decided it was finally time. "Let me esplain. No, there is too much, let me sum up." We spilled some wax from a candle on the carpet.

Before I explain how this happened, PLEASE don't let your kids see these videos... it might give them a bad idea.


Just so you aren't in doubt as to how to play the game, here is a clip to answer all your questions.
I tried again to get the lavender colored candle (the one that ended up on the carpet) put out, I just wanted to do it once more & be done with it. It was really hard... I got really close... but in the end I just blew them out. I would be impressed if somebody could do that.


Thanks to Mike at Sunrise Cleaning & Restoration. He did a great job cleaning our carpet.

PLEASE REMEMBER: This game is only for Adults. Actually more appropriately, 26 & above. Don't let your kids see you play. It's pretty fun, if you don't spill wax on the carpet.

I just turned 25 & they say when you turn 25 your frontal lobe is fully developed. I wonder if I got a recall brain, or if it just wanted one last little spree before maturing, because I've found myself saying two times in the last month, "That probably wasn't the smartest thing to do."

What a funny post. Briant told me about the stain at work - but he failed to mention that this is a game you BOTH play. He said it was just your thing. I guess he's just a sore loser because only you can actually get the candle out. :) I'm glad your carpet is all better. It looks like it never happened.

Yeah, I think he doesn't try anymore because he knows he can't put it out, but he has tried it. The night the candle fell, he encouraged me to try to put it out. Ha ha... I don't think he will be doing that anymore.

Wow. Forget "don't let the kids see" I will strangle you (if you really exist Melissa, you still seem too good to be true) if you *ever* allow your husband to let mine get wind of this game.

Seeing as how mine had the great idea to take rubbing alcohol, matches and funky designs and make up a game himself.
