Now that I’ve recovered from withdrawls for having not been able to blog over the weekend, I am now comfortably back in by office chair and pecking away at my keyboard.
Since storms are quickly approaching and I will no longer have a clear view of the southern sky, I have to make a blogging dash and run.
Do you ever get the feeling that life is teaching you lesson after lesson and that you’d like to get beyond the learning part and right on to the having fun part? Well lemme tell ya, that’s precisely where I’m at.
Hubby and I moved into our adorable little farm house just under a year ago. It’s the first time I’ve ever been a real home owner buyer and quite frankly, I’m learning all those little home owner lessons in a crash course kind of way.
Last Friday at exactly 4:30 PM our power went out – I probably don’t have to type another word, but humor me, will you? This is therapeutic at the moment.
This last weekend I learned:
It’s a great thing to have grown up with a man who became an electrician and lives 10 minutes away.
What a main breaker is and how it’s changed
What a meter base is and how it’s pulled
What an air conditioner compressor and cylenoid are and how they are changed
I learned that when you listen to a breaker box and it sounds like a sparkler sizzling on Independence Day that’s not a good thing.
I learned how to take a green pool and turn in blue in just under two days.
All this just a little over a month since I learned what a septic system is and how one is pumped.
Finally, the lesson I value the most is learning that I’m so thankful to be a professional blogger who can call in the professionals when needed.
Now, the old saying is that all things come in 3′s. If that’s the case, I’m running on credit now and should be paid up until sometime next decade.

I just stumbled upon your blog. Enjoyed reading, funny and witty
Wow, certainly learned more than the average homeowner! Usually, someone will either attempt to do it all themselves, or leave everything to a professional. Either way, there are many aspects of functioning parts underneath the aesthetics, and it’s healthy to know what’s going on under the hood.
