Funny thing happened while shopping for light bulbs at Lowes.
For real, the importance of light bulb shopping is fully underestimated. I was watching something on TV, one of those home channel do it yourself improvement shows. I always sit up when I hear "cheap" or "costs almost nothing."
In this paticular show, I perked up for advice about switching your light bulbs to 3-way bulbs where possible. I don't really remember all the reasons why, but I made a mental note to put on my to-do list.
So Paul and I are at Lowes and I steer him toward the light bulb section. Are you aware of the number of choices in light bulbs? There's choices in size, brightness, brand, etc. It's not that simple. Anyhoo. I try to explain to my darling that enhanced lighting in our home will transform our lives.
He didn't get it. He's still reaching for the cheapest bulb and I declare (for all within earshot to hear):
"No! I want a 3-way!"
Yep. I said that. Paul is pretty smart so the double meaning of that declaration did not escape him. It did escape me until I ask what he's smiling about. It was funny and also a little humiliating.
My consolation is the lighting in my home really has improved - using 3-ways.
