Ever wonder what you did to make things go wrong?

Today D, the boys, and I took a trip to "Ye Other Ole Home Improvement Store" to get some items that we did not get yesterday. We were thrilled to find a light fixture for our den -- http://tinyurl.com/66yxmv -- (the one that is in there right now is far too small) but when we went to put it up today there was a scratch/scuff on the exterior surface of the globe. Strike one. Sigh -- back into the box it has gone for another trip out to Lowe's. In addition to that, D was going to update the handle on our toilet (go figure -- aren't there more noticeable improvements that we could make????) and for some reason the new one is not sitting tightly enough or something like that..... Strike two. He then was going to put the new toilet seats on but something else happened. Strike three..... so the projects are over for today.
