Mystery Solved
A while ago, a friend opened up her blog by inviting readers to ask her husband anything they wanted. I decided to ask about the lamp in my bedroom, which has clearly been in distress for a few weeks now.
My parents came over today, and I showed my father how the casings around the lightbulbs are cracked and melting from the heat. He touched them and pieces of plastic rained down on my nighttable and floor.
He then told me what the problem is. I have 125 watt bulbs stuck in my lamp, when I should only have 60 watt bulbs in there. Oh. Whoops.
We raced over to Target right as it became rush-hour. I went to the light section, but they didn't have a decent replacement light, so we left without one.
But that's okay. Because I found a new light that I really like a lot more. Too bad it costs a few hundred dollars.

I hate to say I told you so...who are we kidding I LOVE to say that! But if you had read the other comments, I chastized SH for giving unsafe advise, and diagnosed the problem, although Dear GOD! 125W ! I just thought you had 100Watters.
I did read the other comments. But welcome to my world of learning disabilities where reading comprehension is a crapshoot.
The cats enjoyed licking the egg off my face. They say "Thank you!"
