1/16/2009 Evening

Darren and I went to Target. We picked up 100 hangers for my new place (exactly 100) a new laundry basket. We also got a new shower curtain and bath mat for Darren’s bathroom. Against Darren’s wishes. The reason behind forcing him to get a new shower curtain and bath mat you might ask? If I hadn’t already thrown away the old one I would send pictures. Ew. No one word in the English language could describe it better. Boys are different creatures I’ve discovered. They do things differently, live life differently, and enjoy different surroundings than girls do. For intance, I like clean things. Not necessarily uncluttered, but clean. It gives me great pleasure to walk into my bathroom and smell the lemony scent of a cleanser of some sort. Let’s just say, I’ve never had that pleasure in DC. The bathroom is funtional to a boy. It doesn’t have to have the decorative towels that match, or the shower curtain to match the bath mat and toothbrush holder (or for that matter, even a toothbrush holder). It just has to have hot running water and a toilet. Which this one has thankfully. However, once you step into the shower and close the shower curtain, the dark blue shower curtain fades into black spotted. Once again, Ew. Could you believe they actually argued with me that they didn’t need a new shower curtain? We asked a passing customer at Target if he should get a new shower curtain once there was mold on it and she didn’t even hesitate. Darren wanted to find a guy. So we asked his roommate when we got home. He didn’t even want to step inside the bathroom. Shae wins.
