Movin' on up

[Gemini Cricket]

Sometimes I feel like a gangster's moll:

Me: Greg and Jennie just got a condo.
Ralphie: They did?
Me: Yep, see here's the pictures. Ain't they got a nice house?
Ralphie: Yes.
Me: How come we don't have a house?
Ralphie: Here we go.
Me: Other people's always so lucky. What about us?
Ralphie: Someday.
Me: Someday came early for them... They's younger than us. We can't wait until we don't have a lotta somedays left.
Ralphie: I hear you, I hear you. Here, have some more chocolates...

Thanks to everyone. Funny how it looks great but all I can think of is getting my hands on the kitchen.

Question for the ages: If one hates blinds and one hates drapes, what do the two of you do? (Yes, I know, both on each window - but we're on a budget here.)

Figure out which of you feels the most strongly about it. I remember in an earlier thread where people matched their feelings to a number value between 1-10, the one with the higher number wins. If you both pick 10, arm wrestle.

Do you have to have a covering? Does the window look on the backyard, or a public space? Our kitchen window doesn't have any covering at all.

Flip a coin?

Some rooms have blinds and some have drapes?

Do you hate both vertical and horizontal blinds? I'm not a fan of horizontal blinds but like vertical ones (which are also immune to inevitable destruction by cats if ever there is one in the house).

We both hate vertical blinds. I like horizontal/venitian blinds, she does not.

Heh- now that I have bought a house I totally relate! Last night I was getting distracted by commercials for kitchen stuff at Lowe's. I can't wait to get in there!

First of all CONGRATS!!!

Second, what about wooden blinds? That is what The Old People have. They are the oak ones, wider and thicker than regular blinds.
