how many blondes does it take to change a lightbulb?

remember
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

  1. Isn't trying to figure out European stuff fun sometimes! I had the same thing happen to me in Germany - thankfully, that was before Euro's so my mistake wasn't nearly as costly. Great job!
