Doing great. Having a relaxing day because the rest of the week I know is going to be busy. Tomorrow is dinner with family to celebrate my Aunt's 60th bday and Thursday is my sister's bday...42 yrs I think. Wednesday I will probably be at my parents helping to organize yard sale items for their subdivision yard sale this weekend coming. Shopping online for some curtains for the living room and for a curtain rod. Looks like it's going to cost about $175 total....and that's buying bargains that are on clearance. It's just that window is so big and I want to make sure the curtain panels are at least lined because of how much sun comes in and how warm it gets. I can't afford to get the ones that are really good at keeping the heat out but want them at the very least lined. And the curtain rod needs to extend to 120" so those are a bit pricey too. Going to see if my roommate is able to pay for the rod and I'll buy the curtains. Anyway...will check that when she gets home. Having trouble staying still but having fun with all these weird movements. Nothing painful....kinda funny though. A little buzzy feeling today but it feels good. Been working on cleaning some of my room too. Haha, what's new...I'm always working on that.

Yeah, why *are* curtains & rods soooo expensive anyway????? Maybe they\'ll come up with solar panels in curtains to capture the power but reflect the heat! Hey, maybe I should market that one!!! LOL Hope the rest of your week is good too. take care!
haha, yeah i think you should market that! :P
Buy a wooden dowel the length you need and 2 brass hooks to hold the curtain rod Dowel should be under $8 and hooks are around $8 each then make the drapes from a good remanat sale piece or a queen sized flat sheet that you find on clearance, it would already have a rod pocket on one end from the hem, just cut in half and hem flat side. Should cost less than $50. I\'ve done it several times and the wooden dowel can stay natural or you can stain it. It really looks nice and many people have asked me how I did it.
