The day has finally come, we replaced our upstairs hallway light fixture!
You may recall this happened:
It happened Aug. 16, 2013 as I was finishing the last bit of painting over the home office door. I backed up into the light fixture.
Even though I knew it was there and I had been carefully avoiding it every single time I climbed up or down the step-stool.
Until this time.
Since then, we just left the two bulbs hanging there. Greg moved in. Greg moved out. We didn't want to replace it during all of that in case there was another incident.
A friend of mine, Julie, works in a lighting store (I actually don't know if it's a store or something else, let's just go with store) and when I asked her if we could replace the globe she bluntly stated it would be cheaper and easier to buy a new fixture. Don't even try to replace it, she wisely stated.
As our anniversary present (fourteen years is animals/gold jewelry, but eighth anniversary is bronze so we're just six years late for that gift, you can read more here) was this:
Bill installed it today. Ta-da!
No more putting my head through it.
Also, because it's a holiday weekend, I'm having homemade ice cream.
I made a few days ago, but I didn't blog about it! Here it is.
Yum! Vanilla. I don't think I can wait any longer...
