Christmas Light DilemaReminiscent of Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase - Christmas Vacation) Sunday I spent two-hours untangling Christmas lights and climbing up and down a ladder to decorate the outside of our house. I was having a great time smashing my finger with a hammer and nearly falling off the ladder! Anyway, I finally finished the project and was ready to plug it in and see the results of my labor when I discovered there were just a few items missing.
I could not find the extension cord to run from the end of my string of lights to the power source. I also couldn't find the handy-dandy little gizmo that screws into the outside light socket and converts it to a plug! These were two critical parts of the project. After tearing the storage shed apart and much cussing, I still came up empty handed.
No problem...I'll just run to the dollar store, they should have what I need. Well, after wandering around the dollar store for a half-hour I was still empty handed. They only had indoor extension cords and no handy-dandy gizmos. I was too tired to drive all the way to Lowe's or Home Depot where they were bound to carry exactly what I was looking for, so the lights will have to stay unlit for another day or two until I make the trip to the store.
Isn't preparing for Christmas just so much fun?

We never decorate the outside of the house, it is never dark until nine in summer and no one can see our place anyway LOL. So much easier :)
I am sure your place looks great though.
BTW you have 24 hours to grab lots of comments in my comment casting call :D
