Measure once, cut twice...

Which is unfortunately how I thought the saying went, and come to find out it's measure twice, cut once. Argh. Had a wildly successful trip to Target to purchase drapes for Boy #1's room in hopes of preventing him from waking up with the chickens as soon as the room is a bit light. When we left the house, I thought I remembered the window was 35" wide by 48" long... Turns out the window is 49" wide (old house, don't ask) by 34" and change long. The rod is too small, and I do believe the curtain would have to be stretched like Saran Wrap to work in the windows. Someday I'll do things in an organized fashion but for now, I have too-small things I need to return.
