Is privacy really THAT important?


So I had a lady come and quote us for blinds last night and after getting the price I have a good question - Is privacy really that important? I mean really, is it that big of a deal if your neighbours can look out their windows and see what your family is eating for dinner, or if the whole street can look inside your living room and see you running downstairs in your underwear to grab some clothes from the dryer. Really what are the chances that someone would look inside at that exact moment? I cannot believe the price of blinds, I was expecting a certain amount but his quote was thousands of dollars more. Yes, thousands. Maybe I am not current with the prices, and I will be getting a few more quotes but still...wow.


On a happier note yesterday was a great valentines day. I got to help at Madi's playschool and as parent helper. They had a big party and it was fun to see Madi interact with the other kids. The best part was how excited she was to have me come to school with her and show me everything. It sure makes me thankful that I can stay at home and have the ability to volunteer at the school and am not trapped at work.

* dexter really is a cute baby, cam says the picture I posted of him at the begining makes him look like Jaba the hut.

I think he looks a little cuter in this one.

Time to dust off that sewing machine! That's what we did! Nobody on the outside probably cares if you've got blinds. It all depends on how self conscious you are! I find I'm more confortable in my home knowing I have a little privacy.
