What the heck happened to my light strings...?


You know, my red/white/blue fairy lights in my office. That I love so much. :0)

These ones:


Are now down to this small section:






Everything else is completely dark.

Now I can't think that every single bulb blew. And this didn't start happening until I added that third stand--which was not the same brand as the first two.

So I'm thinking two things. My little fuses in each strand blew and I shouldn't mix and match strands because the voltage or wattage could be different.

And I have two choices. Either buy enough of the same lights to fit the space I want covered. Or remove the third strand and then go through the painstaking process of testing the bulbs in the remaining strands--after changing the fuses if possible.

Argh. Tough choice. Time is money, but those suckers aren't that cheap.

Red White and Blue FOR THE WIN


I love this time of year for many reasons. I like the warming weather. May is Mother's Day, June is my birthday, July is America's birthday.

And because of Memorial Day and Independence Day, the stores are filled with temptation in the form of all kinds of themed household goods. From kitchen ware to beach towels to fairy lights, yard signs, flags, bunting, and flowers. It's a patriot's dream.

Look at all the stuff!!!



One thing I couldn't resist...!


And this might just end up in my cart next week, because, well...you know!!


Stay tuned for more evidence of my red/white/blue fetish--um--I mean weakness. :0)
