Oops
Sunday night, as I was getting ready for bed, I noticed something really funny about my hair--it looked like there was straw or something all over the top of it, it was the same color as my hair but really brittle and flaky and weird looking. Then I noticed the same thing on my right eyebrow. I was brushing it out and wondering what it was...I thought and thought about it...then I realized it was my hair. I guess I was a little careless when I lit the barbecue--I had the gas on for a little too long and it kinda puffed out when I lit it. I definetly remember feeling a warm breeze....yeah, I burned my hair. I am such a dork. Luckily, I have hair to spare--it could have been much worse. So, in talking to Jeremy later, he informed me that you are supposed to light the match first and then turn the gas on. I am just sharing this with the rest of you folks who may not be the official "grill master"at your house (like myself). It was kinda scary---and it also smelled really gross! On the bright side, at least I didn't use any hairspray that day!!!! :)

Warm breeze huh?! Thank Heavens you didn't wear hairspray! I am definately NOT the "grill master" at my house...I dont even know how to turn it on. One day I wanted to grill some hot dogs and Ryan was gone so I had to ask Austin Miller to turn it on...light it up..whatever you call it!:)
Sorry about your hair, but that is such a funny story!! The same thing would definitely happen to me because I am not the "grill master" either!! =)
Hee! Hee! Funny!
I totally did that a couple of years ago while trying to light Mark's grill. Funny thing, he doesn't ask me to light it anymore, he asks Andrew. lol. Jillian did that just the other day with a candle. Whenever I buy candles she wants to smell so I let her. The other day I had a candle lit on the counter and she decided she wanted to smell it. Oops! singed hair for sure. It was quite humorous though. Only because her whole head didn't ignite.
I did something like that 34 years ago. I was in my family room, with by boyfriend, in front of the gas fireplace. I turned the gas on, relized I didn't have a match, got up and went over to the bar to get a long match. Back to the fireplace - struck the match - FLASH - singed my eyelashes off - singed my eyebrows off - singed the my hair 2 inches shorter and shagged in the front and sides.
I created a new hair style, people loved it. Everybody started getting their hair cut like mine.
Oh Lindsey, let's stay away from gas!
Cindy G.
that is so crazy! careful around those flames... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! we should do lunch or something to celebrate...
How funny, I love that you didn't realize it until later looking in the mirror... Guess you will be aware of "warm breezes" when you are by the grill! I wouldn't have known not to light the match after turning on the gas! But now I do!!
Wow, I had a similar experience when we had a gas stove, only I lost eyebrows and eyelashes! That is pretty funny though, great reason to go to the salon!
