Don’t have terribly much to say today. I voted yesterday morning
and then ran to the church to help out Mandy by copying CD’s for her to
hand out to the choir at tonight’s rehearsal. The church owns a
6-cd burner, so you put the master in, put in 6 blank cd’s and then
press ok. Four minutes later…you have 6 complete copies.
Pretty nifty. Actually the fun part was putting the labels on
them once they were done. Put the label on the little machine
(sticky side up), put the cd on the little button (top down) and press
down. It sticks the label on and then pops the cd back off.
Trying to catch them when they popped off amused me!
I graded in between copying sets. Then I went home for lunch and
crashed a bit for the afternoon. I was going to go out again and
get gas and cash a check (I decided not to worry about changing my oil
until Thursday), but I never did. I finished grading, played a
game, played the piano for a while, read a screenplay for a friend and
emailed him comments/concerns, and talked to Karen briefly on the
phone. Then Eric came home and we watched some tv, had supper,
then ran to Home Depot for a few things.
OH! Do you guys remember those crazy night lights that Glenda got
us all years ago? They had a wooden base with a light inside and
a long cord to plug in. Then on top we each got a different glass
animal with bubbles inside to reflect the light. Anyway, mine was
a round, solid frog, so it never broke. I found it a while back
and put it out (I’d lost or broken the cord and light and never
replaced them, but never got rid of the frog and base). And then
last night at Home Depot, I found another cord! So I also bought
lightbulbs and VOILA! My little frog lit up again…how fun is
that!
I don’t think I had one, I think we just had the frog.
It took all of two seconds to find it. I typed “swan, light, wood” into google, and that’s what came up.
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WENT AND FOUND THAT! Someone needs more work to do!! But yep – that was it!
Now the question remains: why did you put this thing where it could be seen?
Here it is.
I know exactly what you’re talking about now.
Okay, maybe they sound a little familiar. I was picturing night lights that plug directly in the wall first. I can’t tell you if mine was a swan though.
The swan you mentioned on Kim’s site sounds somewhat familiar. Maybe she did love us after all!
I also don’t remember these lights! My memory isn’t what it used to be though.
I also do not remember these nightlights. Apparently, some of us were not the favorites of sentimental old Aunt Glenda!
I’m not sure I ever had this type of nightlight, and now I’m a tad upset about it.
Take a picture of your frog light…I’d love to see it!
I think I would like doing the labels on the CDs, too. That sounds just weird enough to be fun!
