shed a little light on it

so my lamp broke - the one by the table over here where i sit on my end of the couch. it's a floor lamp with which i have been less than enamoured for some time because it's all like tippy-overish. a couple weeks ago the on-off winder thingie snapped off. so now the floor lamp is broken and i am having to plug & unplug it every time i want to use it. stelldarr! a lamp i don't even like is requiring extra effort simply to perform!

i am not heartbroken over its being broken b/c i have been wanting to get a table lamp instead - b/c of the tippy-overish issue. so i am all like -- hey, i want to get a lamp to match our unique décor -- and my old man is all -- well, then you better start shopping the garage sales.

har har hardee har har. funny.

tonight we were at his mom's and i was all like -- yeah, i am looking for a new lamp -- and she was all -- oh, please take this one! and, this one! take these lamps off my hands! and these matching shades! take them! -- and so we took them and now we have lovely new-old lamps sans adventures in other folks's garages.
