I can foresee going strictly curtains in the living room. Let the line shine in. Blinds in the bedrooms along with curtains. THere is a sliding glass door next to the dining area that has built in blinds between the panes of glass, which is a nice little feature. Im pretty certain those will be staying with the house. Ill find out tomorrow.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah, my wife and I needed curtains and my mom volunteered to buy us some. It was originally going to be a gift for the baby's room but my mom said congrats on over a year without smoking and she bought us curtains for the dining room and living room, also. I let them pick out the style and yeah, they definitely enjoy that shit. Weight off my back.

True. She enjoys doing things I consider chores, like shopping, registering for gifts, picking out gay stuff for baby... But I also have to do a lot of things she will never do, like mow lawn, clean litter box, give dog a bath, etc...

Oh I absolutely was not going to move on this without my gal. No way.

She gets back Saturday. We have more important things to attend to first
