So yesterday afternoon I was outside stretching out the Christmas lights and creating a scene in my mind. I plugged all of the various outdoor stuff together and I was excited that all lights were lit and accounted for.
Next I unplugged everything and started decorating. I was very excited with how things were just falling into place.As I finished up I started to plan my plug-in stratagy and low and behold, some of the lights had an extra wide side of the plug and they didn't fit into anything else. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So I had the opportunity to re-arrange things a bit and most of it was able to plug-in. The rest will need to sit in darkness until I can find extension cords that fit the silly ends. Also to my dismay, last night as darkness is creeping up on me, I like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation, call the family out to witness my masterpiece and only a portion of the lights light up. As I grumbled and started shaking the light strands some came back on. Today when I leave the office it looks like I will get to inspect all of the lights again to ensure they light up properly, oh and I get to check each light in the light up snowman to figure out which one is burnt out so the snowman can have his body back. Thank heavens our daytime temps are in the high 60's. Good times I tell ya.
Tonight we are going to Fresno to pick up a sister of a friend at the airport, followed by a quick stop at Maggie Moos, then we will pick up Poker (the chihuahua for those of you that don't know him) and we will take him for a drive around Lemoore to look at the pretty Christmas lights. (spoiled dog).
I am almost done with our Christmas Tree and I will soon post this adventure along with pictures for your reading/viewing pleasure.
