a short story

If you give a girl new floors, she'll want a rug to go with it.

After looking for months for the perfect one, she'll be so excited when it finally arrives that she won't wait for help and pull a back muscle lifting up her bed. While lying in her bed in pain she'll notice how ugly her ceiling fan is so she'll go to Lowe's for a new one.

At Lowe's, she will walk past the paint section and see a beautiful green color that would look perfect on her bedside table.

When she finishes painting she will go into her bathroom to rinse out the brushes. The horrible outdated decor will send her screaming from the room. As she rushes out of the bathroom and past the window she'll get tangled up in the curtains. While struggling to find her way out of the fabric, she'll decide the pattern isn't her favorite and she'll spend the next few hours looking online for new ones.

 Hanging the curtains will remind the girl that there are some pictures to hang too.  The pictures look lonely on the walls so the girl will add old books, candles and flowers to fill the space.

The girl will be so tired from all the decorating that she will collapse on the floor. Luckily, she lands on her new soft rug, but she will start to wonder why she chose wood floors in the bedroom instead of carpet. And that will make her think about new floors... and then her head will explode.
