So Aquaman and I were just talking about how bad of a blogger I am. I have been thinking about this lately because I feel like i should/want to blog, but don't feel like I have anything interesting to write about. So this weekend after our move to a new place we were making dinner when I went to use the oven and it didn't turn on. The stove top worked fine, but the oven has an electronic timer setting option that wasn't working. After dinner we took the cover off the oven to see inside and try to replace a battery or fix any problem we could. Aquaman thought he saw an extra wire, pulled on it and a dead dried gecko popped out. Then jokingly Aquaman said "this would make a perfect blog post for you if the gecko had shorted out the stove and now it will work when we plug it back in!"... and proceeded to throw the gecko away in the garbage. We put the stove back together, plugged it in, and .... It worked!

We had to fish the gecko out of the garbage and take a picture of it for the post. You can even see the burn marks on its back from where it was touching the wires.
