Curtain Fairies and Commercialism

My day was an interesting one, to say the least.  I hung out with the ADT security man all day while he installed the new system, sold some phones and was bored out of my mind until I realized I had left my craft tote in the truck.  At 3 o'clock I started crafting in between phone sales.  I also found some amazing new ideas to try while perusing the crafting websites.  I learned how to make a Chinese take-out container today too! Pretty excited about that! Maybe I'll put all my Christmas presents in those instead of wrapping, because they double as cute storage boxes for nick knacks.

The curtain fairies came to my house today while I was at work.  I have b-e-a-utiful new curtains in my bedroom! (a special thank you to Curtain Fairy Debbie and Teri)

I didn't think that they would be "me" but I was wrong.  They look so pretty! I am admitting, I was quite afraid of ruffles and frillies...I shouldn't have been.  Now when I have to take them down and wash them, that will be another story.  This documentation will probably be the prettiest anyone will ever see them ;)

I think I might need a bubble bath; all of my muscles are still screaming from that stupid ab ripper x video.  I must be terribly out of shape.  I need more mint bubble bath though and can't seem to make myself go to the dreaded mall at Christmastime.  Vanilla will have to suffice for now.  Speaking of vanilla, I got the best creamer ever!! I don't even have to put sugar in my coffee anymore! Wonderful.  I think I am going to be a big girl and even own a coffee grinder.  I am taking baby steps away from commercialism and prepackaged, preservative filled foods and drinks.  I am making a conscious effort to reduce, reuse, recycle and eat healthy.  Kind of like a new years resolution but I was never good at keeping those so I am going to call this a long term lifestyle change!
