verbicideI feel like a kindergartner. Every time I do something, I feel like I should get a gold star.
I can't believe the curtains are actually up. I think they look pretty good, except I need to buy more rings. I thought 5 per panel would be enough, but I think 6 would be nicer. They're also just a touch long. I can't decide if that's okay with me or not. Hemming isn't that hard, but I read somewhere that they should be a bit long. That it added elegance. Maybe they'll look elegant when I have enough clips on them and the stepladder isn't right in front of them. And the furniture in the room isn't godawful crap.
I bought drywall anchors, but I didn't end up using them. I just spackled the holes from before and moved over half an inch. Worked just fine. And, if I'm being critical, the center bracket is a little weaker, so it sags ever-so-slightly in the center. So we'll see.
As sorry as I am that Judy and KC are both sick, I'm a little relieved Kim's party's been rescheduled. That means I have both all day tomorrow and all day Sunday all to myself. Tomorrow morning I need to finish all the trim in the living room, so that on Sunday when Jeff and I pick up the shelves, I can assemble them and put them into place. I can't believe the sofa set arrives on Thursday.
I will be so incredibly happy once the office is set up. I miss my books and they're all boxed up.
Also, I talked to Jeff and he's going to pick up the packing stuff I've squirreled away for him when he's out here on Sunday. I know I'm not using the dining room for anything right now, and the rest of the boxes are collapsed under my bed, but there's something so satisfying about them going away. The more packing detritus that leaves this home, the happier I get.
I think I'm going to clean up the living room as much as possible and watch Under a Tuscan Sun, because my god Diane Lane is beautiful.
