Oreo Cookies and Kitchen Curtains

In my third attempt to find the right curtains for my sliding door in the dining room, I bought a pair that remind me of oreo cookies.



While on the subject of oreo's, Jason brought home regular oreo's and I was so disappointed.  If you can't find holiday ones, you gotta go with the double stuff.  I'm a recent double stuff convert and there's no going back.  And by the way, I don't dunk my oreo's.  Who wants to eat a soggy oreo?  Not me.  I'm more of a eat one, drink milk, eat one, drink milk kinda gal.  About three oreos to a full glass of milk.

Since we're talking about milk, I cannot believe how we've been flying through the gallons around here.  It may have to do with the massive stock of cereal we have, or it may have to do with my current addiction to oreos.  It's almost the only time I drink milk.  Either way, I think every three days I'm sending Jason to the store to re-stock the two gallons we've been going through.

Speaking of re-stocking milk, I refuse to drink from a gallon that has an unknown open date.  If I'm not sure how long it's been open, I'm not drinking it.  I also have a serious aversion to a milk jug that is down to a 1/4 or so of a gallon.  I swear to you it just doesn't look right, like the coloring of all the little milk drops hanging off the walls of the jug have changed to the nasty, spoiled color of milk.

I've been eating oreos and drinking milk while I was writing this, staring at my not-quite-right oreo curtains that I'll be returning and I'm down to one cookie and I've got no milk left in my glass.  I hate this dilemma.  Do I refill both?  Do I toss the cookie?  Do I chance pouring the exact amount of milk I need to polish off just one cookie?  Because if I end up with left over milk, then the dilemma starts all over again.

And they're not even the good ones, the cookies, or the curtains.

Jason defended his purchase of regular oreo's earlier today by telling me that he's "just trying to keep me from getting double-stuffed."  Nice right?  Nice.

I think those curtains look cool, but it's your house. Maybe if they remind you of Oreos you shouldn't use them...if you're like me and will just want to eat Oreos more with them.
Double stuf is the way to go for sure. I need some Oreos now. =)

Did you tell jason too late, i've been double stuffed for awhile? now get me my damn cookies! is that what you said? i think you should count how many times your post says oreo. and take the curtains back, they are not quite right. neither is the ticking fabric on your pillow. i think you use it just to annoy me.

Yay you are blogging again. I will have to catch up. I forgot all about mine until tonight. Hopefully you have pics of the new house.

We are on a current oreo kick too. We go through a phase about once a year. I buy the regular even though I want the double-stuffed. You get more in the package and Aaron will eat pretty much a whole package in a day or two so this way I get some.

I also get weird about milk when its down to the bottom. It drives him nuts because I won't drink it anymore and will just open a new one. I hate the crusty things that get on the rim of the jug too.

I am not a milk drinker unless it is on my cereal..only requirement is to be cold. If I see the milk container down to a 1/4 of it left...I get mad cuz I know should anybody stop by or your dad takes a swig then I will be out of enough milk to cover my cereal in the morning! You are to weird with your milk issues.
Your pillows cool but I am in question about the curtains too from this view..they may be just fine in person.
Whats life if we don't have dilemas huh?
