Larissa Versus Home Depot

so the other night i told ben i would go to home depot for him to get the last needed supplies for the kitchen. i thought it would be a quick trip but i should have known better. he gave me a written list so i'd know what to get. but needless to say i didn't understand ANY of it. so i start with one employee who helps me find the first item, the the second employee finds the second item....then they start laughing. then i had to try to lug two pieces of plywood onto a cart to get them cut. but first i have to go take all my items in my cart and switch it to get a rolley cart thing. then go back and get the plywood. more laughing from people but not more help! so i get the plywood cut, have to go get more items, more help. all in all six different employees help me. and let me back track and state that i called ben at least five times during this time to ask for clarification of what he ment. so i'm not really letting him work. not to mention that i've now been there for over an hour. the trip was supposed to be quick! there were only six items on the list! then to make matters worse as i'm checking out the cashier says to me "it was kind of mean for your husband to send you by yourself." thanks...but i volunteered. but do you think the dumb boy offers to help me take my giant pieces of plywood to the car? umm...no. so off i go to the parking lot to load these pieces into the back of my van...myself....nice. and i noticed something while i was in home depot. there are only men in there. AND if there are women, they are not alone. oh no, i saw three women 'pairs'! they are smart to know not to go to home depot alone. and i know this for a fact because i ran into a lady i know to be single and she was there with a friend who i happen to know is married. even she was smart enough to bring a friend! don't go there alone...

also, tonight i got a rare treat to catch up with an old friend! grace hardt who ben and i worked with at gull lake and her hubby and little boy were in san diego visiting. they were trying to come for the nice warm weather but i think they got shafted on that. anyways, we met tonight for dinner at red robin! it was fun to rehash times with silly boys at gull lake when grace and i shared a house. i think her hubby found out some fun stories! :)

here's a picture of grace and i together with our little ones! jade really like elias!
