Remember that time Hubby and I bought a lawn mower and I gave up after three tries and insist we sell it? Yeah, that time. Well, we just got our check. We have spent the money on MUCH NICER His and Her House Things. For Him, an extension ladder. For Me, new curtains for the master bedroom.
Honest-to-god “Window Treatments” And I picked it out all by myself !
This is a true accomplishment for the Snake Lady Librarian. Not so much because I pushed a debit card across the counter at Linens and Things, but because I picked out curtains that look good. Curtains that have two parts plus a rod that didn’t come together in the same package and look good together!
For those of you who don’t know this about me, allow me to share: I am fashion-handicapped. I do not even buy clothes unless someone else vets them first. As in, I hold up a blouse and vest and say, “Does this go together?” to the crowd of women usually found in the exterior of any women’s dressing room. Women are remarkably forthright on this topic, and I’ve found that pretty much any woman other than me is capable of telling whether two items of clothing go together.
I was 32 before I realized that there are certain styles of pants that were always going to look bad on me, and that only because the sales woman was watching me go in and out of the dressing room and came up to me to say, “Why you keep trying on pants like that? They ain’t never going to look good on you. Here-” hands me three pairs of pants, “These will look good on you.” And she was right!
Ta-da! Fashionable window treatments!
