Christmas Smackdown!!!

So I bought icicle lights and got my sorry ass on the roof today. I strung my lights along the roofline and then, when I hit the solar panels, I got out the ladder extension and painstakingly put the clips along the edge, stretched out the icicles and clipped the wires into place.

I watched the sky get darker as I rounded the corner of the house, but I persisted until I was done.  I packed up my stuff, hauled the ladder back to the shed and locked it up, took my stuff into the house and got ready for my special moment.

I leaned in the house...flipped the switch and ran outside to behold my home lit up with the most awesome wonderful speckles of white lights all along the trim.  Excitedly, I ran around the corner to see what the trim would look like from the yard.  Spectacular!!!  There was a tiny section right at the top of the roof that would need tweaking, because it was dark, but everything else looked wonderful. And then..........THE LIGHTS WENT DARK!!!

Damn it!  I got out my trusty mag light and went to check the fuse box. Everything looks ok, but just to make sure, I flipped a bunch of switches. No luck.  Dizzy has no idea why her precious lights went out. Yeah, I'll have to check the plugs tomorrow, and try plugging it in somewhere else. What a damper!
