Daily Grin November 13
We have pretty blue lights on our balcony! One of my shopping trips yesterday involved a stop at Home Depot to pick up some holiday lights. I got a string of the new "LED" lights that are very energy efficient and hung them up today. They are a very pretty blue color and apparently they won't fade and should last for several years. We have a timer that turns the lights on at dusk and I have it set to stay on for 7 hours.
I'm pretty pooped out... maybe all the shopping has done it to me. Sheesh... I need to go back to work just to relax!! (*kidding*)
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!! J

I poured Spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.

How to Be Handy Around the House
If you can't find a screwdriver, use a knife. If you break off the tip, it's an improved screwdriver.
Try to work alone. An audience is rarely any help.
Despite what you may have been told by your mother, praying and cursing are both helpful in home repair ... but only if you are working alone.
Work in the kitchen whenever you can ... many fine tools are there, its warm and dry, and you are close to the refrigerator.
If it's electronic, get a new one ... or consult a twelve-year-old.
Stay simple minded: Get a new battery; replace the bulb or fuse; see if the tank is empty; try turning it to the "on" switch; or just paint over it.
Always take credit for miracles. If you dropped the alarm clock while taking it apart and it suddenly starts working, you have healed it.
Regardless of what people say, kicking, pounding, and throwing sometimes DOES help.
If something looks level, it is level.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, then it isn't stupid.
