Simple Things

As a person gets older it doesn't take as much to make them happy or to entertain them. That's how it is in my case anyway. I love pictures and have my hall lined with goofy and funny snap shots as well as school photo's displaying those awkward chiclet teeth that all kids get around the age of 7. So anytime I go into a store whether it be Wal-Mart, the Mall or Goodwill I always try to make it a point to look for picture frames. I came across this one at the Wal-Mart in Henderson. Oh, just a regular ole collage right? Nothing special about this one.

W R O N G!

You know how on movies the front of a painting opens up to display a safe where millions of dollars are hidden? Sure you do. Well, I don't have millions of dollars but none the less I am as excited as if I did. Check. This. Out!

Oh yeah, it opens up and is no longer a picture frame but a jewelry box. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?? Oh my gosh-I can't tell you how stoked I was about finding this. Of course BB and Lou didn't share my excitement over my new found purchase. They simply rolled their eyes and mumbled something under their breath to the extent of "great, more junk" but all I heard was blah, blah, blah.

The fantastic purchase leaned against my bedroom wall rather than hanging on it in the hopes my room would soon be painted but since I know it's not going to happen I decided to hang it; and what an adventure that turned out to be. Since it's also a jewelry box you have to hang it in a very accessible place which required some minor rearrangement of the room which required BB's assistance. When I explained what I wanted where and how I wanted it done he grumbled "all of this for one stupid picture frame?" but again, all I heard was blah, blah, blah. I got my way and my wonderful picture / jewelry box is now displayed beautifully on my wall. Life is grand!!
