My Liberating Moment

Everyone who knows me, knows "Ms Fix It" I am not. I detest putting things together or trying to fix things. My usual fix for any and all things handy is to either:

A. Call my dad

B. Call my brother(can't do that now, he's out of the country..he's in the military)

C. Call whatever Mr. Right Now I'm dealing with and have him handle it.

Well my manfriend(look to the "You Asked, I Answered post") and I are in a weird place right now. We spoke last nite for 45minutes on the phone, which for us is like an eternity. It was a really good conversation; but like I reiterated to him time and time again during the convo, this does NOT erase our underlying issue(s). Anywhoo, this is NOT a post about he and I so back to the point of all this.

As you all know the lil folks and I just moved into our new place. I really like the place thus far. My only real gripe is my shower. I am a shower taker. Taking showers is more than just getting the day or nite's grime off, it's alone time for me. It's relaxation. My shower does NOT do the trick. I can't stand my shower head. Today on my lunch, I decided to see about getting a new shower head. There's a Lowe's down the street from my job so I decided to go in.

I go to the Bath section and see the mass of shower heads(who knew there were so many different shower heads!) I pick one out w/ three different massaging options and go get pliers as per the box, I'll need those too. As I'm walking to "Tool World", I get this sense of....of self sufficiency and liberation.

I know it sounds funny to some of ya'll but I'm serious. I'm so excited to get off work and put this new shower head on. Never before would I have undertook something even this simple, I would have passed it off to some member of the male species. I'm proud of myself for stepping out of my box and doing something handy.

I figure if I'm going to get our first house in a year and a half, I need to start becoming handy.
