Woohoo! I did it!

[SweetCherry]

OK, I admit it might not seem like much to most of you, but I actually put up a fluorescant light today all by myself. This is a major accomplishment for me, because all of my life, I've had someone else around to do it for me. My dad, landlord, boyfriend or husband. I've always been one of those "this is a man's area" kinda gals but the light over my kitchen sink went out and it needed to be replaced. So the other day, I hopped over to Wallyworld and grabbed one of those $25 over-the-sink jobbies that you slap up with a few screws and plug it in. And I got it in all on my own.

Yay me!



So are there any seemingly simple tasks that you've finally done on your own instead of ask for help? Please share so I don't feel like such an idiot for being excited over this small accomplisment.

Hey, I put the plastic over my windows last winter too. It's a new area for me. I kinda like it.

You're not alone here Sweetcherry, I've never been a DIY'er (I know that isn't a word) I'm just not good at things like that. Oh I can do simple everyday things, just like everyone else, but beyond changing a fuse in a plug, forget it, I'm hopeless. lol

LOL. I can't do much around the house either. Cheers to you Cherry.

Heck, I HAD to put it up. I was nearly out of clean dishes and can't see to wash them without it. Stupid old houses and their lack of lighting and all.



Granted, if I hadn't changed it, I'd have had an excuse to call out for pizza tonite.

Damn, shoulda thought of that sooner.

I check all my car liquids...

I put together my 'comes in a box' furniture...

I move my furniture around when redoing the rooms...

I can drink Bud and scratch my crotch while swearing at the Television...

Yeah but can you drink Bud and scratch your croutch whilst changing a light fitting, and please don't try this.

Hey, now that's one hell of an accomploshment if you ask me!
