wax explosion!

something fun happened today. i woke up at 7am after only 5 hours of sleep (nope, that's not the fun part!), figured i was awake so i might as well get up and moving.. take a shower, clean, vacuum, clean out my car, iron, all sorts of wonderful things get accomplished before its even like 11am! incredible! so i put in a movie and eat my typical peanut butter on saltines lunch (that's what happens when you're never home and cant get through food before it goes bad) and i've got this candle type thing burning in front of me. it's not a normal candle. it's like wax beads that are melted in a glass dish via a tealight below the dish. mom got me 5 new bead scents so i thought i definitely needed to try one out. getting the wax out from the last batch was difficult so i decided to put just a few drops of water in the dish before putting in the wax beads to be melted. (and actually, the beads are not really beads, they look more like lentil!) so there i am, eating my very weird lunch, watching a movie and i'm noticing that the 'candle' is making weird sounds. so i lean in to see what is going on and suddenly IT EXPLODED!!! literally, all over the coffee table, into the jar of peanut butter, i thought on my face but i must have good reflexes because i definitely jumped! aside from it scaring me, it was thoroughly entertaining!! and now i know definitely not to use the water under the wax trick with this candle (even though it works with other similar type candles!!) i thought about leaving the wax on the coffee table for sort of an artistic touch, but the realized that would just be silly. plus, i'm not that artistic! so it would surely come off as spilled wax before artistic!!
