So THERE!

Last night i vented my anger on a candle-wax-filled, red glass mosaic globe that was ruined (and i love)

At some point #2 decided to burn it... and play with the melting wax (a fascination i understand!) except he let it burn straight down in a narrow wick-line leaving 99% of the wax still unburnt the wax covered over the wick at the very bottom... and my beautiful, red glass mosaic, $13 candle was soon a total loss. :(

Too broken hearted to throw it out, i saved it.
Last night was the perfect time to fix it...

i gouged all the old hardened wax out
using only my fingernails...
until 2:30am...
standing at the bathroom counter...
Grrrrrrrr! Take THAT!

Cleaned it out entirely!
Put a tealight in the bottom of my clean-as-a-whistle, empty, now-beautiful-again, red glass mosaic candle holder and lit it. Voila! :)

Feeling some sense of accomplishment and triumph over evil...

i slept from 2:30 until 8am!!
