monday

When I painted my living room last month, I also painted the hallway. It runs between my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. After painting the hallway I bought a full length mirror with a thick black frame. It's pretty. I didn't want nail holes in my wall so I bought double sided velcro and hung the mirror with the velcro. ........................I was sitting in bed the other day munching on turkey, and watching tv. I kept hearing this strange popping noise. I thought it was electrical wires in my wall catching fire. I got up to investigate. While walking down the hallway the noise got louder. I put my ear to the wall and listened. And that's when the mirror fell from the wall and landed on my baby toe. The noise I was hearing was the velcro pulling away from the other velcro strip.

My baby toe is cut, swollen, and purple. :O(

Daughter called me right before I left work for the day. She wanted to know if I'd stop and buy her some foundation on my way home from work. So on my way home from work I stopped at Walgreens and got her some foundation (Loreal Mineral), some soft drinks, and some razors. I get home, unload the things I purchased and find that I also have a bag with 3 packs of Christmas lights. I didn't remember buying them so I checked my receipt. They weren't on the receipt. (woohoo! I got something for nothing!!) Daughter could read my thoughs I suppose because she says to me as a sort of warning "Karma mom!" And then I guess she saw the disappointment in my face so she says " Look, why don't you keep one box and return the other two." I cracked up laughing. (she cracks me up.)
So I have 3 boxes of Christmas lights sitting on my kitchen counter................and I keep thinking how pretty they'd be lighting up my front porch.........and that maybe I could use them and then return them after Christmas.
