ohh i've got this friend...

perfect title becauseee... 

a) this is one of my favorite songs on the civil wars cd, and i mean fav! and 

b) because i do have this friend named kelly in louisville and i went to the pie kitchen with her tonight.

see? pie.

disclaimer: this picture now looks weird but it was taken in a hurry because the pie kitchen was packed and im still not embracing my "im a blogger so i take pictures of every little thing!" life publicly yet. 

ill work on it, just like im working on not cheating.

so when we went home (i know yall are sick of me talking about us going home... when will this girl ever stop talking about this darn trip... umm probably when i start talking about the next one.) i had to take our lovely green curtain that i had on my windows in high school that my mom made me that didnt fit this window but was just make shift (breathe)...

... so she could chop it up and add to the cute polka dot curtain that i got from peddlers mall because they are about 12 inches shorter than the sheers. well the parking lot light shines in my eyes (not j's because he sleeps like a rock!) while im trying to sleep so we needed a curtain... i promise this is a need and not a want. so my mom and i went shopping at ross on friday morning and i found this beautiful babe.

ehh the only weird thing (thank you kelly from nc, lindsey, katie, and lauren for questioning it friday night when i showed you- so here is your picture so you will believe me) is that it is a shower curtain. now i decided that i wouldnt really broadcast this, so dont spread the word. but this lovely shower curtain that matches really well was only $8.99. i should go into the curtain buying business because i have such great luck with it. (it will probably end since im bragging) but i think my curtain looks great and it covers the whole window and keeps the giant bright light out of my precious eyes. and just for the record, it doesnt feel like a shower curtain and its not plastic (coughkatiecough).

(and no its not going to be ironed... but you probably knew that)

call me if you need curtains and 

a) arent ashamed of where they could come from or 

b) what they might actually be.

we got curtains day.

and the picture of the day is...

our friends enjoying my salsa! yay!
(pre-curtains)

(i also just decided that this is going to be short because the computer is acting up)

but im now going to show you one of the things i found at the wonderful peddlers mall yesterday.

these lovely curtains!

they match so well! i couldnt believe it.

but please ignore the fact that i didnt iron these before i put them up.

my mother would be so disappointed.

(i had previously bought the sheers along with the other curtains below at a yard sale. 

i figured i would be able to use them somehow.)

so today, my lovely husband ventured out with me to use some of his gift cards he got at his "man shower" to buy curtain rods. and boy did we not know what we were in store for. shopping for them rods is hard, let me tell you! and he was getting semi restless. but after we found the curtain rods- home depot hides those suckers good!- and then picked them out- those suckers are expensive!- we went home so i could put them up. needless to say J was worried about his drill and he quickly took it away and put the rods up for me. but he told me it was my turn when he was done.

what is cost to "curtain" two 87 inch windows:

(just a money tally for those budget conscious people out there- aka J)

yard sale curtains (6 sheer panels and 2 linen panels)- $20

peddlers mall polka dot panels- $14.75

curtain rods-$74.14 (on a gift card= free)

for a grand total of 

$34.75

this is just to show you how much better it looks with curtains! 

i know you all agree.

once again- hope yall enjoyed sunday aka the last day of this very short weekend.
and i hope the word curtains doesnt look funny to you now, because it does to me.
