Christmas Lights, I hate you.

I wanted to have all my Christmas decorating done over Thanksgiving break, but due to weather, we only got the inside of the house done. So since today has actually been the warmest day in the past week, I ventured out on the front porch to hang the icicle lights around out porch. I had to balance on the hand rail, maneuver the staple gun and keep the lights from getting stuck in my hair. After I had successfully made it all the way around the porch I jumped down to plug the lights in and revel in my job well done- well not so much. One whole strand was OUT!!! WHAT!! Who doesn't check for this stuff before risking life and limb hanging lights- that would be this girl. Crap. Now I have to take down the delinquent strand and purchase a new one. Or should we go with a whole new look? Maybe this is a sign that I should create a new design... I see a trip to Target's Christmas aisle in my future.
