Just give my mouth a cookie

Betsy Stein | 01/26/10

A friend told me about this blog at preschool drop off this morning. It’s called “If You Give a Girl New Cabinet Knobs.” It cracked me right up because — at long last — I got new curtains for my living room this weekend.

Because the curtains were more formal, I had to exchange the rug for one in another room in the house.

Since I still wasn’t happy, I wondered if I could take the rug back to the place I bought it 10 years ago to get a brighter color.
So I spent a half hour looking for the receipt.

Meanwhile the pillows I agonized over buying from Pottery Barn don’t match anymore.

So now I need new pillows.

And looking at the coffee table my husband built, it occurred to me it would look better in another room.
So now I want a new coffee table.

Maybe if you give me a cookie, I’ll just sit down in the kitchen and eat it and forget about the living room for awhile.

  1. It just totally made my day that someone told you about my blog at drop off.

    I like your idea. Maybe I should eat more cookies and do less projects.

    This is great. All of my friends agree!
