I really don’t like the lighting in this camper. The lights use automobile bulbs and they give off a Golden lighting glow. It just doesn’t look natural. I don’t like the light that florescent bulbs give off either. A lot of them are too harsh.
The compact florescent bulbs aren’t too bad.. it’s the long florescent tubes that are the worse ones. I had those in my condo in the kitchen. I can’t wait to get a house and have some kind of normal lighting, appliances and stuff again!
This weekend I have to bake cookies for our Christmas party at work. I’m planning on making my famous chocolate chip cookies.. Well they aren’t really my famous cookies… I use the recipe on the bag of Nestle’s Chocolate Morsels. I just love the taste of them.
I hope all goes well this time. The last time I tried to make cookies my indoor lighting in the kitchen went out and it was too dark to make them. I have 2 really long fluorescent tubes above my cabinets and I don’t know when the last time they were changed. They both went out within a couple minutes of each other. Luckily I hadn’t gotten any further than getting everything out to make them. I hadn’t actually started them.
When I got rid of my old dresser there were lights on the top of it. I took them off and saved them. They kind of resemble home theater sconces. I want hubby to drill some holes in the dresser we had in storage that he just brought over this weekend and put the lights on it.
With hubby I don’t always get what I want. Sometimes I just have to plant the seed and wait for it to grow. In other words it eventually becomes his idea. It just takes some time and patience.
Here are some things you should do before you leave for vacation.
1. get a trusted friend or family member to keep an eye on your house
2. if you have pets either take them with you or have them boarded at a friend, family member’s house or a kennel.
3. stop your newspaper delivery.
4. put a hold on mail delivery.
5. make sure your ademco alarm system is in good working order.
6. make sure all your doors and windows are locked when you leave.
7. put your lights on timers so it looks like someone is home.
If you do these things you should have one less thing to worry about while you’re away.
It’s always nice to have a romantic dinner for 2. Pack up the kids and ship them to a relative or babysitter for an overnight stay. Prepare hubby’s favorite meal, turn the lights down low, light candles, pretty yourself up, put on your hot lingerie, pour some wine and watch the excitement happen. Hubby’s eyes will light up and it will give him something to remember for a long time.
Put some spark in your marriage. Every relationship needs something like this once in awhile.
