let's make a deal

Doug was supposed to help me clean the house today. But then I said, if you will hang the window treatments, I will clean while you work. He's a smart man. He knew he would have to hang them sooner or later and he might as well get out of the cleaning job for his efforts.

You may be wondering why we are putting up window treatments after six years. The answer to that is that we got a new carpet for under the table and we don't want it to fade...you know how one project leads to another...which is why he is now going to have to hang another matching set on the other side of the room. I bought four more tonight.
