John and I had an evening out on King County HealthPoint. They had a big anniversary Benefit Dinner downtown and invited us to attend. I was just excited to dress up, do my hair and makeup and to go out with my Hot Husband! We met some really nice people, the dinner was good, and the entertainment interesting. The most memorable part of the night happened just after we sat down for dinner.
Everyone at the table had just sat down and introductions were done and during that awkward moment of silence I noticed the votive had tipped and was about to fall over. Trying to help I reached over to tip it back up, not realizing the glass was hot I flinched after touching it and then the inevitable happened. It hit the table, the gel stuff spilled and yes, the table started on fire. I had visions in my head of the whole building going up in flames and then I began racking my brain trying to figure out what to do because at this point it looked like it was my fault. Hitting it with the paper program didn't seem right, but I couldn't see anything else around. Luckily those around me acted a little quicker than I did and they did start hitting it with programs and fabric napkins, and then waiters and the staff all began running towards us.
I was amazed that there wasn't much damage after the fire. I think the table cloths were flame resistant because not a mark. Only the table runner had a burned mark in it. This was a great topic of conversation and when people asked what had happened the gals next to me quickly pointed the finger to John and told everyone it was his fault. Thanks hunney for taking the fall for that one, I couldn't have been more embarrassed.
