Curtains and Life

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about getting new curtains for our apartment. There was a lot of work involved in hanging the curtains. Since the ceilings were too high for me, my husband did the entire job by himself. I ironed the curtains though! Just as I hoped that we were all done, my mom told me that we did a lousy job assigning curtains to each window. As a matter of fact, it looks like there is more work ahead of me…

Each set of curtains came with clear instructions. Well, I have the curtains but I lost the instructions. A girl does not need any instructions, I said to myself. At least that’s what I initially thought. As you see, I am still on a big mission and God only knows when it is going to end!

Here is the current look of my little nook I created for myself. I admit that it looks a little different right about now! It might look even more different a week from now.

Aside from not feeling very well for the last week and not being able to go out as much, we are trying to keep our sons busy and entertained. We added one more lesson to our routine daily exercises. In addition to book reading, phonics, drawing, watching cartoons and playing games – Omar is learning to write. He is doing pretty good, I shall admit. Well, he is no genius (at least not yet) but he is mommy’s little smartie pants!.. and he needs a haircut.

Where are my curtains?

My thoughts leading to hang new curtains in our small apartment led me to write this random post. We have postponed curtain hanging for a long time, thinking that we would be moving to a new place. Shortly after, we will. Truthfully speaking, I am so attached to this place and less likely would want to move. So, I begged Nasim to give me this opportunity to see my curtains hanging, which are tailored specifically for this apartment. My husband agreed to help me hang them and decorate our little bird nest!

As I was getting ready to drop an emotional “look-I-am-so-happy” entry in our blog, I searched the computer for the “before” images of our apartment. I ended up looking through the pictures of 2006, which by the way, are all point and shoot camera images. As I was looking at them, memories gushed through my brain with simple, but very pleasant moments. I did pick one picture of our living room, but decided to choose some more images to portray the beginning of my journey that started back in 2006.
