All that

So yesterday I was strutting around like I was"all that and a bag of chips"
I summoned my inner handy woman and fixed my storm door all by myself!  I replaced the handle and the broken locking mechanism. I was almost done when the nice old fella who lives behind me came over to ask what I was doing.  When he saw he said " oh those are tricky".  Then he noticed I was just tightening the Last few screws.  He high-fived me.  
I was bragging to a friend and she told me to get over myself.  Lol Then I tackled the lamps.  I bought these new lamps at a ridiculous low price at a closing out sale but the shades were ugly.  Before pic
But when you pay $37 for a $140 lamp you can afford new shades.   Here is the new version - so much better
The rest of the weekend I puttered around with Miss Abby by my side 
All rested up for my first full week of work since the holidays.   Sigh.....

    Way to go Kim, you're a handyman woman. There's no stopping you now. I need a drill too to fix things that breaks at the barn in my section and I'm not kidding. I bet Abbey is real proud of her Momma.
    That shade is quite an improvement. Great looking lamp.

    I hope the roads are not too slippery tomorrow. It's raining now and will freeze tomorrow.
    Hugs.

    I have a feeling this week is going to be extremely long! The kids came back on Wed. after 2 days of staff development, so it felt like days off.

    Go Kim, go Kim, go Kim...Isn't it great to get something fixed that needed to be done? And yes, that is probably the ugliest lamp shade I have ever seen. LOL Your replacement is so much better. Have a good week.

    What kind of chips?? ;o) Sorry....I'm still on my holiday binge.... You go Missy Kim! I'd try to fix things, but they don't let me play with power tools here in Nod.... Probably a good thing. Hope your first long week goes quick.... Snow Dog would love to have Miss Abby over for a play date in the snow. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
