5. Sit down and spend some time on Facebook/blogging/email etc...
6. Smell something funny, but ignore it, cause it is probably nothing

8. Jump up screaming "oh my goodness...what happened??" even if it is only the 3 year old in the house

10. Open door when flame is out and take a picture of the burned chicken and the twist tie that caused it all

So, there you have it.  A step-by-step guide to getting a new microwave.  We figured we may as well get the one we have wanted for quite some time so are going with an over the range microwave.  I put a question on Facebook about installing it and how easy that was...cause we really aren't that handy, and a friend called to say she has one, in the box still, sitting in her garage, on it's way to Goodwill!!

We are so blessed!!
