So yeah, I hung a curtain...one little curtain on one little window!
 So...I get the chair, the bracket, the hammer. Bracket in hand, picked up the nail and not once, but three times, dropped it and had to get off the chair and look for it! I finally get the first nail in and onto the second and I kid you not, I dropped it! I finally get it nailed in and gave it one last smack with the hammer and hit my finger! I thought well, at least it's in. Moved the chair to the other side, bracket in hand, picked up the hammer and there is blood streaming down my arm from where I smacked my finger, got a real nice little blood blister. Off the chair, cleaned up the blood and back on the chair again. Got the bracket in. Got the curtain rod, attempted to hang it and the bracket and nails flew out of the wall into the middle of the room. Spent 10 minutes searching for them. Got the right bracket in, proceed to hang the curtain and notice I hung the bracket on the left......upside down! Well, at this point I just fell the floor in a fit of laughter! Everything that could possibly go wrong, did! Curtain is hung though...I'm NEVER taking it down to clean it!!  Gotta go get a Band-Aid for my finger.....

If it makes you feel any better, I recently bought some new pictures for the kids bathroom and a new frame for the living room. I measured, had it all leveled and I'll be dang if they weren't crooked. Ugh. Had to re-do them and finally got them straight. Though I think one still is a tad off, but I was not putting another hole in the wall I just painted.

Just play it off as one of my many idiosyncresies!

I do not freak out about hanging pictures straight anymore since I found this stuff called BlueTac. You tear off a piece of it wad it into a ball and stick it on a corner of the crooked picture. Then you adjust the picture to hang straight and the BlueTac holds the picture straight till you take it down to move 30 years later. Or you drink enough to where everything is crooked.
