My Name is Revi, and I'm a Lampoholic...

At Thanksgiving, I had to move my stash of stuff from the guest room.

I moved it so my daughter could sleep there. 

As my son helped transport some things to the garage, 

he remarked, "This looks like a lamp graveyard." 

I surveyed the half dozen lamps waiting... 

for a coat of paint or a shade or whatever revision they might need.

 "They're going to be so cool, and I am going to use them,

 and they only cost a few dollars, and..." 

I'll spare you the rest. You know how it goes - 

the usual justifications for this addiction we share.

But, really.  

I mean, REALLY.

What do you expect me to do 

when I see THIS?

And it only cost $4.94. 

AND this one didn't need a thing.

Except maybe a shade. WHICH I already had. 

I bought it at Target a few years ago on CLEARANCE.

And it's been waiting for the perfect lamp mate...

So you see, I was obligated. 

Yeah, that's right. Obligated. 

You know - to do the right thing.

 I mean, the world doesn't need 

another lonely lamp out there...

And it will be perfect for my son's house.

And won't HE regret that remark!

Word for the Day:

Matthew 5:15
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. 

Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 

Shine your light today!
