Hey there guys & gals...quiet evening 'eh? DS left his new glasses in his bedroom floor & DH stepped on them...guess we have something else to do now tomorrow besides enjoy a beautiful 75 degree bonus day off!
Hair cuts are at 10:30...might try to go drop the glasses off at 10 when they open & go back lafter our haircuts to pick 'em up...
Started a new mission - replacing the sheers in the family room that Buzz has eaten into shreds. I'm no longer amused with them as he's gotten worse about it lately and the place looks like crap! Bought 8 panels & 1 scarf this evening at Bed, Bath & Beyond (been hoarding 20% off coupons which you know never really expire there). Anyway, I put one set up on one window - I like them but with the way they're made I don't like that I can now see the top of the pleated shades under them (we don't have a nice valance cover). The old sheers had a header on top & covered the darn thing. I asked DH about raising the rods a couple of inches - he'd rather I go find other curtains!
He also wanted to know if Buzz would eat these or not - like I can answer such a silly question! They're a Rayon / Poly mix - do you think if I ask Buzz he's gonna actually tell me if they're an acceptable item for his diet?! Geeze Louise! The cat's a freak! He's eaten the silk & nylon ones and the plain polyester ones. If I could've predicted that he would've eaten the last 3 sets I'd have several hundred dollars more in my 2012 cruise fund now wouldn't I?!
All I can do is keep trying different fabrics and weights and hope I find one he doesn't want to eat! These aren't really sheers. They're lightweight, but are a little heavier. I suppose now that I have to go to the mall tomorrow to get DS's glasses fixed we COULD park outside of Penney's instead of Lord & Taylor. They typically have a good window treatment dept. If I don't find anything there then I might have to go to The Great Indoors... Raising the rods by 2" sounds better (and cheaper) to me................The Great Indoors is a real danger zone for me!!!!!! I was there almost every week when we were finishing the basement - but ordering big stuff like tile and toilets & shower doors and carpet!
Hummmm...

And hey, where is my 2 lb package!?
- popscicles are the best remedy. Take one every half-hour. Mama gets one too.
I KNEW JCP would have some interesting top treatments to pick from! I'm going with a throw-back to the Hippie Beads!! I don't THINK he'll eat these!!!! What do you think?! I just wanted a little accent color / touch of something else interesting to go with the shades...
After tonight let us know if that noise is annoying at night!?
YES!!! That is it!
