an actual before, and other crap...

ok, you might want to sit down.
Maybe get a cold beverage and some nice, nice salty snax, but that part is up to you. We don't judge (we really really do, but not about a nice cold beverage and salty snax).

we (phrodaux) put in a new light fixture from one of out favorite places (yes, it is a store Mr./Mrs./Ms. judgy pants, but they are nice and have really good coffee) Schoolhouse electric. We may have mentioned them before, as they are super nice and their stuff is the bomb (yes, I said "the bomb," wow, I can just hear the eyes rolling and I wrote this long before you read it, I'm just that good, some would say "Phrodaux, you be the bomb", just saying).

where was I?

yes, sitting, salty snax...

this would be... wait for it...build suspense...yes, I'm a bit of a jerk...

The "BEFORE PICTURE!" release the pigeons and hounds, alert the press (French, as that makes better coffee), and check for flurries (not furries, euyew) in places that don't usually see flurries (but likely do see furries, oddly enough, like hell and Phoenix, but I repeat, myself)

(this may be a "before" picture, but you definitely don't want to see the "after" that goes with it)

So, snax you say...

Before. 

(yes. I do sometimes get to the f'ing point, thank you very much)

Suitable for your "little house on the prairie cosplay, I look fab-u-lous in gingham by the way)

and... wait...

After.

so there.

We did also replace the light over the breakfast nook table a couple of weeks prior otherwise 2x the little house on the prairie. I of course was not happy with the location of the previous light, so had to move it (it was 8 inches off, and would not do. WOULD NOT DO!). Then there was the moving of the electrical box, the patching of the drywall, realizing that the ceiling paint isn't actually beige, but has become beige over 60 years, and I didn't want to paint the entire kitchen ceiling as that would have led to painting the entire interior of the house and maybe sacking of neighboring villages (it is a slippery slope) so some other solution was needed (a big white circle, I loaf it, and minimal sacking)

(there are always trade offs in home improvement)

oh yah, and the boys have graduated dog school. So we have that going for us.

 (actually for Anubis this was his post graduate work, but we can still call him Nubie, being family and all)

...and while we are at it. When the nice man running the estate sale says "the rug might have a slight odor", what that means in "garage sale" speak means "every cat since the pharaohs has used this as a toilet, and not just the healthy ones"

(do you see the little stink lines coming from this? you may wish to de-scent your monitor after viewing)

and just to finish off a random post.

(what the hell, Lake Oswego, really? just no. Bad Lake Oswego, bad)

Phrodaux out.
