I'm looking at all the things that should get done around the house, and I wonder when I will get around to them all?!? Which chore to attack first, which can wait until later... Then again, I could go and watch a movie and ignore them all!
Last winter we bought some rope lights that were on sale at the end of the Christmas season. We thought we were being "smart" by waiting until they were on clearance. So we bought them to put up in our gazebo, dreaming of future romantic suppers in our backyard with the warm glow of white lights around us. We took 4 boxes of WHITE lights. Did we 'check' that they were WHITE? Why would we, they were rolled up in boxes that said WHITE LIGHTS on them. You know where this is going...
So Sean goes out today to set them up. Again, assuming they are ALL WHITE, he set them all up BEFORE plugguing them in. He then came inside to invite me to see his work. I tried to say that I would rather see them later tonight as I probably wouldn't get a great effect during the day, but he assured me they were worth seeing.
So... White, red, yellow, purple! 4 strands, 4 different colors! DAMN people who changed the items at the store!!! Oh well, my new motto is: "Things may not always work out as planned, so when God sends you lemons, make lemonaid!"
On a happier note, Monday often comes too quickly, but this week-end I'm actually looking forward to Monday, 1) We may start to hear some rumors about where things stand in China, 2)it is the beginning of the end at work (only 4 weeks until summer vacation) AND 3) it will be June, only my 2nd favorite month of the year!
Have a Great week-end...
