What I want now!

Electricity. I'm obsessed. I've become an electrical monster. I guess it started a year or so ago when I found out my very own husband could change out fans and light fixtures. I went crazy and over the course of several months proceeded to have him change out every fixture in our house, minus 3 (but I have a stink eye on those too). This summer as a favor for Chase, our electrician/firefighter friend Dustin, put up 2 patio fans for us and while he was there, I casually asked for ohhhh 12 or so outdoor outlets around the patio. He did this. Before we only had 1 patio outlet and sadly it was always full. But with my new dozen, I could have outdoor radios, and tons of string lights, and underwater pond lights, and fountains galore, etc, etc. So now I'm positive I need electricity EVERYWHERE. I wish I had outlets by my trees (for a bug zapper of course). I wish I had flickering sconces on each side of my garage door. I wish I had a dozen FRONT yard outlets for a gazillion Xmas lights. I wish I had big pendant lights all around my patio. I wish I had big pendant lights under my front porch. I wish I had big pendants over my pool table. Ok and everywhere else. I wish I had a chandelier in my bathroom. I wish I had landscape lights that made my flower beds light up from underneath. I wish I had recessed lighting all around the eaves of my house. I wish I had plugs over my fireplace mantle. Alas, I didn't marry an electrician (I know some of you did, you lucky little devils). I married a cowboy who, by no fault of his own, doesn't have the knowledge or equipment to install all of my electrical wonders. However, I would be well taken care of if I needed to be wormed or vaccinated. So, I guess I will live out the rest of my days with a reasonable electric bill, a practical amount of outlets, and a home that canNOT be seen from outerspace.

I did marry an electrician and have worked him as hard as I can adding recessed lighting, changing fixtures, and my next on the list is to add a chandelier to our bathroom. I hope he goes for it.

Ok I had to laugh a little bit at this one! Could you imagine how high that electricity bill would be if you left ALL those lights on for a couple of hours?? lol My God! :)
