How to finish hanging curtains

Part 2 of my first post about how I hang curtains (part one is here)

1. Move some more furniture and paint more of the wall. The wall nowhere near where the curtains will be hung. Because it seems like the right place to start.
2. Eat lunch. Attempt to locate paperwork for mortgage application. 
3. Read Pinterest posts about how high and wide you are supposed to hang your curtains. Decide that a lot of them look ridiculous and compromise by making marks 3.5" above and outside the window frame.
4. Debate about whether the ceiling, floor, or window frame is the most accurately level part of the wall from which to take measurements. Go with the window frame and hope for the best.
5. Dreadfully know in your heart of hearts that this is NOT going to be level and pray that it is not noticeable. 
6. Grab the drill, the previously labelled 3/16" drill bit, and climb on the ladder. Drop something small and metal-ish from the top of the 4' ladder. Be thankful you didn't drop the drill.
7. Drop the drill. No, really. I did.
8. Watch the 3/16" drill bit snap in half as the drill crashes to the hardwood floor below, gouging out a small hole in a thankfully (hopefully?) unnoticeable spot.
9. Find another 3/16" drill bit (thank goodness for the labeling and finding the extras). Notice, while removing the broken drill bit base, that the process of securing the drill bit in the drill causes the label to come off. Roll eyes and continue.
10. Drill holes. Attempt to insert drywall anchors, which, of course, are too big for the holes drilled with the correct size drill bit.
11. Repeatedly wiggle the hole larger with the drill bit, praying each time that you don't make the hole too big to hold the drywall anchor. Repeatedly try to insert drywall anchor with no success. Try to tap drywall anchor in with hammer. Only succeed in bending/damaging the drywall anchor. Curse.
12. Persevere.
13. Get all three brackets installed. PRAY that the rod will go through all 3 brackets. Rejoice when it does.
    
14. Figure out how to weave curtains onto rods whole holding them more than 6' off the ground. 
15. Close curtains. Revel in victory. 
16. (most important step) Trust that the weight of the velvet curtains will pull the wrinkles out eventually and that no steaming/ironing is needed.
