The One Where Amy is Taken Down a Notch

Its true. Pride is a deadly sin.

My thumb would swear to that.

I was very proud of my achievement today - I installed a new light fixture entirely on my own. Yes, I handled screw drivers, wrenches, screws, nuts (of the tool variety) and - most impressively - electrical wires. On my own. Without injury. Or electical shock. Or house fire.

I was so pleased with my work that I called one of my family members to brag about my accomplishment. And during that conversation, I was punished for my pride.

Just so you know: light bulbs are hot when they are on. They can burn you. Especially if you touch them. Like when I touched one with my thumb.

And...back to humble land.
