I’m like a kid on Christmas morning – I can’t sleep. And why? Because I want to go shopping! Now that the new carpet is in, the ugly blue shades in the living room do not match at all. Oh and by the way, the carpet installers didn’t leave until just after 7 pm last night, making the installation last 10 hours. Yikes! For all that time they spent here, you’d think they would have done a better job. I’m not saying it doesn’t look good, but there are a few things that look a bit sloppy and if you don’t know anything else about me, know this – I am a perfectionist and I expect the same from others. Especially when I’m spending over $1000 to have it done. That being said, I’m sure it is fine and I’m just expecting too much. While I wouldn’t warn people against Home Depot for carpet installation, I will try someone else next time I need some installed. For variety, you know.
So anyway, back to the shopping. Joe doesn’t want to be out all day, so I have to see how many stores I can cram in between now and noon. I’m trying to plan the day according to the times the stores open. We need groceries, so we might take care of that first so we can drop them off at home and head back out in the opposite direction. There’s toys on sale at K-Mart so I want to look for the kids’ Christmas presents before I just say forget it and order it all online. I have to take back my tight shoes. We need ice cream from Target (their brand of ice cream in New York vanilla is delicious, and I’m not even that fond of vanilla). And last but not least, a new Lowes store just opened this weekend not very far from us, so I want to check it out and price their blinds so come January this place will be done.
Now if only that damn alarm would go off already so that Joe would wake up. Uh oh, I just heard him walking around and the alarm hasn’t gone off yet. He’s coming to get me! ;)
