This past holiday weekend was a blur of activity at Casa de Aggie. We raked leaves, cut down errant branches, trimmed unruly bushes, and washed down dirty patio furniture. That was outside, obviously. Inside, we installed new light fixtures, cleaned the old ones, changed filters, dead light bulbs, unclogged drains, and did general maintenance.
Someone told me there were some football games of import. The only thing I saw on the TV was a layer of dust, and that was promptly removed.
I hope to get back in the groove of blogging soon. Between cleaning and organizing and downsizing and therapy (that’s physical therapy, ok??), it feels like I have no time left to blog. Oh, and I have a wine party next weekend. Oh, and the weekend after that I have a birthday and a scrap swap. Oh, and it’s almost time for Blood, Sweat, and Tears Day™.
DOES THIS EVER END????
Don’t bother answering that. It was rhetorical. Anyway, here’s a pic of the new foyer light fixture.
Yeah, it’s not this one, but it’s still pretty cool! Not only did I get it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay on sale, I also put an Edison™ bulb in it. It was a moral imperative. Next up? The Just-This-Side-Of-Redneck Chandelier™. It would be an awesome Mother’s Day gift.
Yes, I know the next so-called holiday is Valentine’s Day, but I ain’t holding my breath 😉

I thought Blood, Sweat, and Tears day was report card day.

Hm, good point.

I like it! Good taste..
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:47 AM
It’s different, but at least we can actually LIGHT UP the foyer now 😀

I promise to come to this wine party if I am re-invited! I can even bring my special glass! Love the light fixture

January 23rd, 2013 at 2:48 PM
Yep! I can be there in….. two months. Give or take 😉

I’ll be waiting with bells on. 😉

I happen to be a Nicola Tesla fan as well. But that’s the term they give those bulbs 😦

Total epicness!!! WHOO HOO!!!

We have no leaves to rake up. We are currently at 13.5 degrees (F) and there is a pretty good layer of global warming blanketing the great outdoors.
You don’t use patio furniture indoors. That is just so odd.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:45 PM
I mean, who doesn’t use patio furniture indoors? Next you’ll say you’ve never used a power washer to clean the living room floor or something silly like that.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:46 PM
Believe it or not, I have used a power washer to clean indoor floors.
True story!

Oddball is my middle name. Hubby was disappointed to learn it wasn’t “Oddjob”…

Not totally ignoring us? So does that mean you’re partially ignoring us? 😛

Semantics… 😀
