why all the talk of curtains came to a screeching halt

We're moving. Not sure exactly when (although we're hoping sometime in July) and not sure exactly where (although we know it will be the same town as my family). We just know that our time here in the midwest is drawing to a close. Since that means we'll only be in this house for a few more months, I'm not worrying about curtains, choosing instead to save the money for the next place. Which, hopefully, will be home for a while.
