It Takes a Whole Family to Raise a Curtain

The goal of this weekend was to get a new curtain rod hung in my room. Sounds simple? Oh... You'd think that..

First, it took 45minutes at Bed Bath & Beyond for me and my Mother Numpsey to choose the correct curtain rod. It's not that we had problems picking out a stylish one, that is not a problem at all, but the task of deciding what type of curtain rod we needed almost caused a few lacunar infarcts.

Then, came the hanging. It apparently it takes five people to replace a curtain rod. Me, Ashley, and my Mother Numpsey were their to offer our opinions and almost superhero powers of eye balling a level line. David, being a seasoned curtain hanger, was on hand. And, The Cutest Boy in the World offered to help with the manual labor, but he over estimated my preparedness and assumed I had a lot more tools then my meager collection of hammer and drill had to offer.

Moral of the story, three hours later, I have curtains. Well, one curtain. We still haven't figured out a way to hang the sheer, but we might have to save that for another weekend.
