It's like giant metal chickens, only cheaper

Last Thursday, I went out with a friend and her daughter... we went to a movie, lunch, and then a rather ill-advised trip to Target.  I went in intending to buy dog treats and toilet paper.  I came out $147 poorer.  Long story.  Also, Target employees look at you strangely if you start sword fighting with water noodles in the aisles. 

Anyway, one of the impulse purchases was a new shower curtain and rod.  Wait, can it be called an impulse purchase if you've been planning to do it for over 3 years?  Hmm.  See in my bathroom, there is this huge handy shelf area behind the door:

(apparently red-eye reducer doesn't work on dogs.  he's not really satan, he just likes to pretend)

Well I love my handy dandy shelf area for collecting all my girly stuff.  But I hate that it's just shelves and not a closet.  But I don't want a door there... for many reasons.  1. I don't want to have to build up the wall and install a door, 2. I don't really want it COMPLETELY closed in cuz we've had mold problems in the basement and air circulation is a good thing, and 3. the two doors banging into each other would suck.  So I got the brilliant idea to just get another shower curtain and hang it up to kinda block off the view to all my girly stuff. 

Aaaaaaaand we're back to the beginning of the story.  Semi-impulse-shopping at Target.  However, in my state of delirium, I forgot shower curtain hooks.  Rod?  Check.  Curtain?  Check.  Method to connect the two?  Fail.

The hubby was out of town at the time, didn't come home until Sunday.  Actually didn't come home until really late, I was already sound asleep by the time he got here.  Monday morning I get up and head to the basement for a shower and look what was sitting on my bathroom counter!

I fired off an email to the Designated Hitter "Guess what?  Some asshole broke into our house and left trash on my bathroom counter!  What the hell?!"  He's so damned sweet, he offered to put up the hooks for me.  *sigh*  When I told him they were going in the trash, he pointed out that it would be way funnier to regift them this Christmas... he and my grandma have had quite the tradition of giving each other rival team gifts over the last few years.  So now I need to stow them somewhere for the next 6 months and hope I don't forget come December!  *double sigh*
