I Promised Pictures...

for your viewing pleasure...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

i'm a day late. the way i've been going, that's not too bad.

anyway, to friends and family near and far and REALLY far... all the best for a wonderful christmas and a very happy new year. i'll put some pictures up tomorrow. love & hugs to you all...

Happy 30th Anniversary Val & Marv!

i wish i'd thought of this before i left home, because i have your wedding picture on that computer... instead, i guess we'll settle for this...















or this...

what could emily possibly be doing?

seriously... she's done with school, she's home, she's got nothing but time on her hands... and yet, no blogging. the same stinkin' thing has been there every time i check... for like over a week now. SERIOUSLY. i've had enough of your excuses party girl!!

basic fires only...

so last night i finally made work of putting the new smoke detector in place... this is a smoke detector for basic fires, it says so on the box. as a matter of fact, it's SO basic, it says it twice.

i'm not sure what other kind there are, but i'm really just hoping that if i have a fire, it's "basic" otherwise i'm in trouble. does "basic" include kitchen accidents because i'm sure that's the most likely kind i'll have. i joke that i got a new one after re-doing all my electrical outlets & switches, but i'm confident my father taught me well... but just in case, do you think an electrical fire is considered basic? maybe i should go back to home depot and check the other kinds. how many smoke detectors will i have to have? what if i have a fancy fire? like if my evening gowns suddenly ignite? oh wait... but what if val & mom get their wish and my favorite sweater spontaneously combusts? so how many types of fires are there and how my smoke detectors do i actually need? one for electrical, one for candles tipping over, one for kitchen mishaps... and are all mishaps covered as one type of fire? for instance, i have set both an oven and a microwave on fire... oh geeze, i've had a stove top fire too, oh geeze... and a toaster fire... are all of these the same kind of fire, and if so, are they "basic" ?

this is very perplexing...

they have carbon monoxide detectors too? don't get me started...

thank you randi, ash & em...

... for making me feel less neglected. :-)

would it kill someone to leave a comment???

i'm just sayin...

long long day

well, i attempted to take a video but apparently you need a lot of light to do this. even though my condo looks plenty bright to me, on the video, it looks very very dark. i guess you'll have to take the virtual tour another day. i spent all day cleaning and trying to put things away. i almost hung pictures, but i'm not ready yet to put holes in the wall i guess. i did put one in though...
anyway, it's not perfect yet, but here's some pictures...

and as promised... before and after on my outlets... but i'll only make you look at one...

i'm a slacker too

just had to say that, in the spirit of fairness. though i am planning to post something later this evening, complete with before and after pictures of each and every one of the 10 outlets and 3 light switches that i've replaced. i know, you're on the edge of your seat.

Robin is a slacker blogger

i just wanted to point out that someone is worse than me. not a single post in the whole month of november. how am i supposed to avoid work when you're not blogging? seriously.
