Weekend successes • Completed the painting of the bathroom cabinet. Bathroom is almost back to normal. • Saved mucho dinero by buying pre-made curtains for our bedroom. I'd found some gorgeous fabric that cost $55 a yard. (Also known as an arm and a leg.) Four panels (for two windows) would have cost almost $1,000. (Also known as two arms and two legs.) No thanks. I'm just as happy with my $60 curtains. And that's for both windows. I can barely contain my excitement. • Found a curtain for the guest bedroom. It's not up yet, but it will be soon. • Made a loaf of french bread. • Attended a friend's cookout. • Hosted a small fondue party. • David wanted to eat at Cheeburger and I said no. Way to save calories! • Finally watched Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Great movies. Ethan Hawke has big ears.
