First entry ever! Woo hoo!

Ok, here's my story for today. So I want to install these bamboo curtains that hang from my ceiling right? Well, I ask for help and I'm instructed (by multiple members of the house) to use these expanding screw thingies that can hold up a 500 pound baby elephant. Overkill? I wonder, but in the end decide to trust this suggestion instead of just hammering some nails in like I originally intended. So I go and get them from Jacks and I'm all ready with my screw driver to install them when I'm informed that you have to drill holes into the ceiling to get them in. I don't have a drill. We do have drill bits however, so the brilliant idea comes to us... attach something to the drill bit and do it by hand. Right. I've spent the last hour with a pair of vice grips clamping drill bits "drilling" into my ceiling. In the end it worked though, and although dusty and tired, I can now hold up my 20 lb. curtains by screws that can support several large mammals.


Also, I met someone yesterday that hiked the Chilkot trail as a camp counselor (repeat: as a camp counselor) and we had the most ridiculously nerdy conversation about hiking boots, tundra, and dirty camper diseases.
