Invented these new light bulbs?  Sent hubby for bulbs a few weeks ago and I’m sure with his mom’s and brother’s input he bought the new energy saving bulbs.  A few days ago I needed to replace the bulbs over my kitchen table.  OMG.  First of all they aren’t dimmable so I won’t be turning the light on often.  But last night we had a sit down dinner and hubby put on the over the table light.  After about 15 mins.  He said what is wrong?  I feel like our kitchen table is sitting in a Wal-Mart parking lot.  Yep.  It’s the new light bulbs you bought.

He and I both decided that an analytical accountant had to have invented these bulbs.  Not an amiable designer or even a laidback homeowner.  These lights put my teeth on edge.  They don’t cast a very homey or soothing glow.  They present a harsh, commercialized atmosphere that puts a person in an uncomfortable state of mind and in a hurry to digest food and get out of the runway that the lights have turned our dinner table into.

This morning new light bulbs were on my only to do list.  They were hard to come by.  I guess we will really be cutting down on our electric bill soon, because if the old light bulbs become obsolete we will be living by candelight or in the dark by the light of a log burning fire.  The sterile operating room atmosphere is not the look Im going for and I’m sure the couple from the Fixer Upper in Waco don’t market them at their merchantile design studio.

Just another problem solved in this retired brides home.  No sending retired groom to the store when he feels the need to save energy or listen to other people’s  opinions about what will work in this home.
