Mirrors and Smart People

My Dad is a genius.

If you know my Dad, you probably already know this little tidbit to be true - but just in case you don't know my Dad, let me prove it to you :)

So, here's the story:

We moved into our new house - 3 weeks ago? Wow, I can't believe it's been that long already! Anyway, we moved in 3 weeks ago, and thru all the bussle with setting up a house, things like hanging pictures and mirrors got pushed to the bottom of the to-do list.

So, the mirror that should be attached to the long dresser in our room, was left un-attached.

Well, I've been asking Derrick for a while now if he would please put the mirror on the dresser. And, nothing against D - he's great and all, but he's been really busy and crazy these last few weeks and he just hasn't had a moment to do so.

So, this morning when he left for work, I decided that I was going to hang that mirror. Now, folks, hanging a mirror truly isn't difficult. All you need is the right screws, which unfortunately, I did not, just adding to the challenge.

I found 2 sets of screws that I hoped would work, went upstairs with a screwdriver, flipped the mirror upside down on our bed to see if the screws would fit .. and lo and behold, this is what I found:


Like I said, my Father is a genius! When he brought the dresser up for us ages ago (this was while we were still adventurously living in the camper) we parked the dresser & mirror (along with the other stuff he brought) in Derrick's parent's spare bedroom, aka our storage room. And so we never had need to put the mirror on until today -


Now, you might think it funny and silly, but its one more task done and one more item off my to-do list! And we're one step closer to our home being completely put together!
