Yes, I left the name blank. Why? Because after getting your hands on the Power Shelf, you’ll be filling it in with your own. And you’ll do it with pride.
I first came along the Power Shelf on Twitter, through it’s inventor extraordinaire, Lynn Fetzer-Westmeister. Knowing that my hubby J is a techie, I am always looking for something new to help us organize our electronics, and just looking at their site made me think it could work for us. Problem is, J does NOT get excited over anything. Nor does anything impress him. Ever. After explaining this to Lynn, she said she could change his mind. And she sure did. Lynn kindly sent our family, The Original Power Shelf, to give it a try.
I installed it myself, to surprise J when he got home from work. The installation is super simple. All you need is a screwdriver. It’s literally removing the screw, taking off the original face plate, and putting The Original Power Shelf into place with your existing screw. I decided to put ours next to our coffee maker, so when J makes his coffee in the morning, he can also access his cell phone, already charged. And the best part? Not fighting for counter space, and not having any crazy wires to fight with.
How nice does this look?

I know, I loved it. And when J got home, he loved it too. He wanted one for work, for the bathroom, and basically anything that has an outlet, he wanted one for.

So I got back into contact with my new friend Lynn, and got the Mega Power Shelf for J’s razor set in our bathroom:Yes, that does mean I get the extra counter space!! What woman couldn’t use more counter space in the bathroom?

That’s right. It’s his laptop. And it’s not on the floor, and it’s not taking up space on our coffee table. The power cord is neatly wrapped up, and out of the way. Can you say “sigh of relief”? I can now, that’s for sure!
And see all the red crayon? Yeah, M decided it needed a “mooral around the new Power Shelf thingy”.

• Blog about this post, including the link here, and leave a comment
• Tweet about this post, and include @DomesticDebacle & @Its_Lynn (creator of the Power Shelf)
• Just leave a comment after visiting The Power Shelf site, telling us which Power Shelf you would use the most, and what you would use it for
• For three extra entries, order a Power Shelf from Lynn, and leave your first name, last initial and state in each comment.

I just love cool things, especially when they have something to do with aviation. It also helps that we live like 2 blocks from the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Let me tell you, this is one nifty (and huge) place. If you ever plan a trip to the Dayton area, this is a must see. You really need more than one day to go through the museum(s), see the IMAX movies and enjoy the simulators. So if you do come, plan on being here two or more days. You might even catch M and I there (we’re regulars, about twice a week).

The best thing about it is that it is 100% free. Admission and parking. Yeah. Awesome right? They also provide strollers free of charge. Think this is great? Well, it gets even better. The food in the cafe is well priced. M and I can have lunch there, with drinks and come out at around $7. Not bad for 2 people. The food is really good to, and the service is always with a smile. There’s also plenty of space to pack your lunch, and eat it too. The only thing that might set you back a little is the IMAX theater and the large simulator. Not sure on the prices of those, so check out their site for more details.

The main problem that I have with this place is that you have to walk through their gift shop (sneaky-sneaky!) to get to the indoor museum(s). And with a 3 year-old that doesn’t normally go smoothly. We’ve finally gotten to the point where we’ve bought so much stuff from there, that M doesn’t ask for anything anymore. At least until they get their new toy shipments in.

So let me get to the reason I began writing this post. Recently, the NMOTUSAF (thought I’d abbreviate here for ya) held their own “Night at the Museum”. Boy was it crowded! They ended up having a record number of attendees, and broke fire code.

If you have ever been there before, you may pick up your jaw from the floor-now.

I kid you not. We were shoulder-to-shoulder in this place. It was cool, yet scary at the same time. See, we weren’t just in there with tourists. There were aliens among the crowd (okay, don’t hit the “x” in the corner. I’m not crazy, keep reading). Real. Live. Aliens. And their “men in black” chasing them.

It looked like this one needed a break or two. So, M was terrified of these guys. Which let me tell you, my kid is all talk. For weeks she has carried around a little alien doll, that must have been related to the fine gentleman (lady?) above. She loves this thing, but when put face-to-face with a breathing alien, she was having none of it! It cracks me up! So now when we go, she always asks in the parking lot if the aliens are in “her” museum. Love her imagination!

So there were some other not-normal things in the museum as well. Including this little jem:

Yes ma’am, your eyes do not deceive you. This is the OCC Stealth bike. I’m sorry, but I think this is the coolest piece of machinery, since well, the B-22! DH wasn’t as nearly impressed as I was (hang on now- I majored in Aerospace Studies and Military Science in college) so I guess you might not be either, but I loved it. Heh. It’s on my Christmas list.

Because it was so busy, we really didn’t get to see much. We pretty much just went in, and saw M’s “BOMB” (trust me, it’s a whole ‘nother post for a whole ‘nother day).
On the way into the Apollo gallery we got to meet a real-life astronaut (as if they were all fake).

And to finish out the night, we got to swing by the Blue Star Mothers table, and wrote a quick note to our fantastic troops (love you guys!). If you don’t know what these ladies do, take a minute and check out their site. It’s a great organization that John and I have supported in the years past.

So, I guess with the end of this loooong post (if you made it) kudos to you! I hope you take the time to head out to the NMOTUSAF. It’s a great place, family and frugal friendly.
