I'm Not Safe Left Alone

Honest to goodness - I should come with some kind of a warning.

Tonite I decided it was time to hang the living room curtains. I was pretty excited about that as I really like them and I didn't get to put them up when I was in Orlando. So I dug them out the box and freshened 'em up and drug the curtain rods into the living room.

Now try and picture this. 6'2", barefooted standing on the couch with a piece-oh-shit screw driver. I have a bit of carpal tunnel so I wasn't doin' so hot with the screwin' part. (Hey - this is a family blog - don't go there!) Add to that the whole barefeet and trying to balance on the couch, and well.....

Oh, and I did I mention I had Phantom of the Opera playing in the background? And, since I know the entire score, I was singing along at the top of my lungs.

Now there's a kodak moment if there ever was one.

The first time I fell and hit the coffee table - and yes, I did mean to say the FIRST time - I thought I broke it in half. I'm sure the bruise will be a lovely shade of lavender by the middle of next week.

But did that stop me? Hell no!!! Didn't even slow me down.

So - I get those stupid, idiotic rods hung and went to get the curtains out of the dryer. They're fresh - just wrinked as hell. But I put those bad boys up anyway. I got a steamer and I'm not afraid to use it. The secret is figuring out where it is!!

I'm sure it'll look lovely once the wrinkles are out, and the pull backs up in place. But damn - does everything have to be so flippin' difficult??? Does everything have to involve bruising?????
