Can I tell you how much I love blogs? Because I do. There are adorable household crafts, jewelry making challenges, and there are tons of cute and adorable people with cute and adorable houses making delicious food that motivate me to dress well, craft often (okay more often than not), cook more, and redecorate my home a little bit.

Perfectly harmless right? Well this weekend, my husband was about ready to ban me from the blogging world. All because of a few innocent little curtain rods that needed .5 billion screws. Should I start from the beginning?

Kerri posted her curtains on flickr. Not that I’m blaming her at all. Her beautiful new dining room just reminded me of all our plain windows. It was like Kerri had these pretty frosted cupcakes, and I was sitting there with this muffin. A muffin is delicious, don’t get me wrong. But a cupcake with pretty frosting (funfetti perhaps?) is always better.

So I discussed my plans with Cale; we’ll rearrange the bedroom, which is something we’d been talking about doing for months now. Then we would hang curtains on our windows, centering one big set of curtains behind the bed. He thought it would be a great idea, so off I went skipping to Target, where I cursed Target for being remarkably un-cute. I ultimately found my super adorable curtains at World Market (as if I wasn’t copying Kerri enough!). I came home feeling inspired and charged with this decorative electricity. There was no stopping me. I rearranged the entire room just in time for Cale to come home for his job: the curtain rods. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve hung many a curtain rod in my day. I’m all for feminine empowerment, but did you just read that last sentence? I rearranged the entire room, which included vacuuming under the bed, reorganizing under the bed, moving the freakin’ bed. I was tired.

Let’s just cut this short and say: Cale did not appreciate hanging the curtain rods and has requested that any future blogger projects not include screws, unless you plan on buying him a drill.

Are we understood blogging world? Because I love you too much, and I believe somewhere in my contract that I signed for Cale to hang the curtains included a clause that requires me to disclose that information. No more screws. Got it?

As with any furniture rearrangement, we’re convinced that it’s so much bigger now, etc. etc. But I really believe it compared to the old bedroom. So yay for successful attempts at maximizing the space in our itty bitty one bedroom cottage.

Our bathroom also got a little sprucing up.

In a very desperate attempt to get my husband to forgive me after the curtain rod debacle, I made hand squeezed orange juice and french toast the next morning.

So our weekend started out insanely uneventful, but really was pretty sweet. How was yours? What aspects of the blogging world have permeated your life, and even, maybe, your marriage?
