So I have a funny story, on one of my Ladies Night Out Workshop Wednesdays, I'm getting ready, setting up my workshop, all is good. Kids are fed, hubby is going to put them to bed, I turn on the light in the downstairs stair way and the bulb blows.
No big deal - there is still 5-10 mins before people are supposed to arrive, I walk into the bathroom to turn that light on, and nothing, thinking weird those bulbs are out too. Walk into my workshop and turn that light on.....nothing there as well, now I'm getting a little nervous, 2 new clients are coming, kids are getting a little loud upstairs, and I can't find a flashlight to check the breaker box.
Call the hubby to take a look at the breakers, he can't seem to find the one that has been tripped. I notice that my plug-ins from that room are still working so I get every available stand up and desk lamp I can find and plug them in. Door bell rings, new client and a virgin scrapbooker as well, hubby still trying to figure out which breaker, kids are running around all they had all day is sugar! - Not a good scene. Other guests arrive, hubby is getting more frustrated, kids are getting more wild I'm trying to get everyone settled and going on their projects with an apologies due to the light situation and the crazy kids upstairs.
So kids finally go to bed, hubby is still trying to figure out the breakers, we are all cozy in my workshop with low but very romantic lighting and everyone still had a good time. I haven't seen my two new clients since but I'm hoping they will come back.
Moral of the story - if you have an older house like mine make sure the breaker is all the way off before you turn it back on and you can still have fun when the lights go out!
