Jan. 7th, 2010 02:59 pmJon and I are going to the mall tomorrow so I can exchange some stuff and buy some more clothes, though what I really want are a nice pair of gloves and a cute hat.
Since getting Abby, I've found myself taking tons of pictures of her! I discovered this morning, though, that she narrowly missed being named Julia. I realized her tail looks like a lemur tail, which made me think of King Julian from Madagascar, and I would've shortened it to Julia. She's definitely an Abby, though, and it has the added bonus that Beth can say it. Of course, she calls her Abby wow (that's her way of saying meow, by which she means cat). I'm having a hard time not making January 2-7 cat pictures. ;)
I have to share Jon's and my hilarious curtain saga. First, the backstory: every window in this house (with the exception of the three in our room) has roller blinds. We've removed them all, and just switched our dark blue curtains from our room to Jill and Kate's room. We had to buy regular blinds for their room, but can only get them for one window because the other's too small. Anyway, because of this, we needed curtains for our room.
First, we went to Ocean State Job Lots where we found long red curtains. We bought them, then hung them, then laughed really hard. They were longer than the length from our ceiling to the floor, which means they really dragged on the floor, but the best part is that they were faux suede! Really, OSJL, faux suede? We laughed so hard! So we ended up keeping them cuz Ginny wants them (they're light blocking) and went to Wal-Mart to check out what they have.
We picked out some chocolatey brown ones that included a valance and just decided we'd not put the valance up. Oh nooo. That's not how it works. The whole thing's attached! So it's all one piece, with a valance and hideous stripes (which didn't seem bad in the store), and then when we hung them, we realized we'd gotten two different sizes! So one is window length, and the other is floor length. I haven't laughed that hard in a while! The best part, though? We're keeping the awful curtains, and just getting Ginny to take off the valance (cuz we tore off the stickers before knowing how bad the curtains are), then buying another set of the floor-length ones.
In completely unrelated news, Kate's determined to make her mommy lots less lazy. She's up the stairs at the speed of light, she loves playing with the new litter box (just a low cardboard box since Abby hates the covered cat box), she climbs the couches with abandon, and does half a dozen other things super fast and super stealthily. *sigh* Thinking about all of it wears me out!
