how many blondes does it take to change a lightbulb?

remember

{my mission}

well 

today

actually the past few weeks

i've been trying to change a light bulb

seriously folks, don't laugh!

but my kitchen light went out three weeks ago

thankfully 

it is summer so it stays light outside longer

and

i have a big window in my kitchen

my first attempt was to buy this

it's circular

and i knew the lightbulb at home was circular

and it was the only circular light bulb at the store

this was the wrong choice

the wrong 15 euro choice mind you

that's equivalent to about 18-20 american dollars

so i thought i would do the smart thing

and take the light bulb down

only to find 

that it has a battery!

this is my ah-ha moment

but then i forgot to take the battery to the store

at the store i had two options

and since both were relatively inexpensive

i bought both

and 

again

fail!

sorta

the battery fit

but the light just flickered

so 

kenneth said

"hun, i think it's the light bulb"

emphasizing light bulb

so i did the thing i should have done to begin with

i took the light bulb out

took it to another store

and 

found it!

however,

when i got home

opened the box

i realized it didn't come with batteries

but wait!

remember i had already bought some

and 

guess what

they fit!!

yay!!!

with a click of a switch 

i had light!

and 

to answer the question

it only takes one blonde to change a lightbulb

one very persistent blonde
