Today's tiny little victory... and it has nothing to do with the toilet!

I am just so uber excited, I wanted to share my uber excitement and by doing so, you will see just how incredibly lame I am.

 Finally a decision! Finally, after weeks and weeks of deliberation... it's done. I am beyond excited! What am I excited about?
I am excited about curtains.
Curtains.
You did not misread.
I bought curtains for my living room today. Ordered them online. This was the highlight of my day. You are all ready to click to another blog, aren't you? That's cool. You do what ya want. I'm still gonna write this bitch.

I'm sure that you all may not be aware of the gravity of this situation. We have been living in this house for the last 4 and half years and the curtains in this living room were whatever I grabbed at Wally World when we moved in, just to have something on the windows. They are now dirty, dusty, and some are ripped in places because, well, they were prolly made in some sad foreign sweatshop. So, Sgt. Dad and I discussed window treatment options via Google Chat... for months. Like, since he left for his second trip overseas. I mean, we've discussed other things of course. Unpleasant things, hopes, fears, dream, stories about the kiddies etc etc. But always back to the curtains. The curtains were a safe topic. We compared and shopped and looked. It was a bit of fun for us. However in recent weeks it was becoming obnoxious and annoying. I know he was reaching a breaking point. Today he admitted- it was much like picking out paint- and he was thinking- just pick something already. He has been such a good sport about the stupid curtains.

Aren't they just awesome?!

It seems stupid. It seems lame. But I think there must have been something deeper here. I'm certain there was actually. Whatever it was, I have failed to see it. Perhaps if the antidepressants weren't fogging my brain I could find some way to turn this weird obsession with finding just the right freakin' curtains into some sort of emotional epiphany. Am I reading more into it than just my general propensity to be a perfectionist in some way? They are just curtains after all.
Now... I must find curtain rods!!
