Don't be sad. I have PLENTY more to share. I just chose something different today.
Even with the busyness of the holidays, I have managed a FEW itty bitty household projects. Actually, it was because of the holidays that these repairs came about.
First off.....
I have strongly disliked our stinkin' kitchen lighting fixtures since the day we moved in.
I mean, are we running a poker parlor or something? Who buys this kind of stuff? Seriously?
I have been dragging my feet, as far as doing anything about it, for several months now (I blame pinterest for that...too many ideas). But, as I attempted to decorate for Christmas, I tried a few things to dress it up, make it less ugly, to no avail. THAT IS IT!
A trip to Walmart-o and $16 dollars later........
I'd still have plans to spray paint it something other than gold, but a VAST improvement, if I do say so myself.
Still haven't found anything size appropriate for this one but, heck, it's still improved from before, don't you think?
Secondly, we finally broke down and ordered a new computer. I, personally, was just fine with our 8 year old one, but Roberto felt it was time to upgrade. Sigh.... I REALLY didn't want to spend the money on it....but finally gave up after Rob's relentless pestering.
We're still waiting for it to get here but, resigned, I dismantled what was left of the old one, and finally.....yes....FINALLY threw this old mouse away. Taped button and all.
(I hope all you frugal-(possible super cheap)-hold-onto-things-until-they-are-absolutely-unusable-taped- button haters are happy (aka Ken).)

lol. i love that you just took off the shade. haha.
...and i hope you bought a MAC.....
since getting married i converted to mac and never looked back (or had a problem. or a crash. or had to buy a new version of something every year that stupid microsoft sells.)
LOVE the new glass light shades (or whatever they are called). You have AWESOME taste!! yes, please spray the gold - again exhibiting great sense of style!
I still have lone bulbs in many rooms of my home - so no worries, there's no shame in that!! have replaced 3 in 6 years - with 8 more to go (as budget allows). at that rate I'll be in my 70's when finished!! ;o)
Nice work! At first I was wondering if it was just bad lighting in the pics that made them look green.....lol.
I am impressed with your frugalness.
