buying random things online
 | | September 19th, 2007 | Category: Canine, Daily life |
The beauty (and the problem) with online shopping is that you wake up in the morning and have no plans whatsoever to buy anything and then your husband sends you a link from SlickDeals about Amazon’s discounted light fixtures and four days later you have a new chandelier for your dining room.
For example.
The good news is that we badly needed to replace this fixture, it’s pretty ugly. But we never go in there except to lift weights and mix drinks so spending a small fortune on a new light was at the bottom of our list of spending ideas.
The current chandelier…
(The Phaaaaaaantom of the Operaaaaa is theeeerrrreee, insiiiiiide your miiiiind…)
Eric’s parents will be here on Friday and I’m sure his dad will be delighted to help us hang the new light (*waving hello*), because otherwise it will sit in the box until we can scrape together some time to do it ourselves. Which may be never.
At least Riesling got a kick out of the box it came in. :)

Good Reisling. She so reminds me of one of brother’s schnauzers known as Spock for obvious reasons. wish I could upload a picture for you. We had this running thing about dogs getting “into” things. We both have pictures of our dogs in the trunk of our cars! “Don’t forget me!” written all over their face.
I hope you don’t mind all my comments but your blog and photos on flickr are like reading a book. You are way younger but I like your outlook ( and your dog). Really, Eric you should write more.
Keep up the good life and enjoy. [Woody just got out of bed. He hates it when I don't go to bed at the same time as my hubby. I am watching the LAST GAME of the World Series... knock on wood.]
We don’t mind at all! :)
Every time we leave on a trip, Riesling sits nicely by the front door so we don’t leave her home on accident. It’s also hard for her to settle down if one of us is in bed and the other is up, say, watching Sunday Night Football.
