Not a Usual Duel Purchase
We have been spending wayyyyyyy too much time in Home Depot. I am very familiar with the layout of the store now more than any other store around our new home. Home Depot is starting to feel like home now.
Today was another trek to, what I call the manly store, one more time. We've been through an ordeal the last two weeks or so just trying to order utility cabinets for the laundry room and garage. It's so messed up, I don't even want to get into the mess we got into with them. All one has to do is look at our slip(s) to know there's a story there.
We dread seeing the credit card bill when it comes in trying to figure this mess out. So in the meantime we wait, yet once again for these cabinets to come in.
So we decided to go check out Lowes after never going there before here or anywhere for that matter. We looked around and I noticed the cheapest prices on Christmas trees than anywhere else was here. Since they were having a 25% off sale and with my 10% ticket in hand we settled on a very good buy and lugged it home with the new bb-q-grill surprised we could fit them both into my Suburu at the same time.
Yes, a Grill and a Christmas Tree bought on the same day. This is not normal for us Mainers. In Maine right now, I bet you couldn't find a grill easily, if at all. Usually by late fall all the grills up North are clearanced out until next year. Here, of course, you can grill to your heart's content all year long. I was actually shocked to see so many grills for sale this time of year . So yep, we bought both what we'd consider a winter item and a summer item on the same day.
This just kills me. We open up the tree, a pre-lit tree with a fold up design and remote control. We look for directions. Oh, we found them all right........in Spanish!! No English to be found. What's up with that? Did they forget? Or do they just figure that we know Spanish? If so, they figured wrong with us. How hard can it be we thought and within a few minutes had the tree up and lit.
Now this feels really weird. It's currently 85 degrees; very hot today, and we're putting up a Christmas tree. It just doesn't seem right. I'm wondering if I can get some snow shipped down here from Maine somehow? We could always crank on the air and let it snow....inside.
