How To Ruin Pasta:

First you need to be pregnant and have baby brain mixed with the already easily distracted Lindsay brain.  Next you need something shiny…in my case it was shiny red Christmas ornaments.  Then let everything fall into place!
Tonight I made my “Adam is working late go to meal” of pasta…it’s quick and easy and doesn’t require me to be in the freezing cold kitchen for very long.  Today I had been trying to get things ready so that we have a smooth and easy move.  I put away all the Christmas stuff and organized drawers, getting rid of things we really don’t need.  I have also been burning DVD’s (Adam found a way to download movies and the current versions of TV shows…and since I have a burner my job is to burn them).  So basically I had a few different things going on today, but not too much to handle, especially since I need to break every half hour. 

After I put the pasta in the pot I noticed the very last Christmas decoration out…my vase full of red Christmas balls.  I figured I could put them away before the pasta was finished, but after I finished that the DVD I was burning finished so I started the next one (and since this seems to be my job now I try to make it look professional), then I saw the “Z” I painted for my son and took that to the pile of baby things (which always distracts me).  After playing around with the pile (because the pile needs to show off how cute everything is) I saw my empty water bottles and decided to fill them up before I got into bed and forgot.  A few activities later I realized I was hungry and “OOPS!” I remembered the stove.  The funny thing is a couple times I heard strange noises in the kitchen…I just chocked it off to being noises of China…there are always noises in China!
What I saw in the kitchen was a pot with barely any water left in it and spaghetti that was left in one gynormous clump.  I decided to try again and I made myself stay in the kitchen until the pasta was cooked.
