HAPPY JULY 5TH

I Know, I know,what happened to July 4th? Well, I don't know, it's all a blur. Granted I know what I did on July 4th but it sure didn't seem like July 4th. It seemed just like any other day except this was a Sunday, we went to church, we did our weekly "run" to Blockbuster with a stop at Dunkin' Doughnuts for iced coffees/carmel swirls lattes. And I grilled a mess of hamburgers, ate outside and had a nice time visiting with Divadebs' Mom and Dad. Oh almost forgot to mention, we did go to Home Depot though and bought some border for our bedroom and some paint. Which leads me to my next meander.

Why do they have people hired at Home Depot? Shortly after we arrived at Home Depot, Divadeb and I had picked out our borde. We were left alone and found what we needed in just a few minutes and this was great. Now came the time to find some help. No one was to be seen except for one salesperson, who was busy with another customer so being the gentlemen I am I didn't interrupt, I'll wait my turn and he saw me waiting. Well he finished with the customer and then excusing himself form that customer disappeared. Wha happened??? Now what was running through this guys brain anyhow. Let's see...........Hmmmmmm.........Okay I'm helping this guy with his purchase but now there's another guy waiting to be helped. What do people think I'm here for? I've done my 5 minutes of work and I'm due for a 15 minute break and by God I'm gonna take it. This guy can just keep on waiting or find someone else. So I'll shake this guys hand and disappear into the bowels of the store. And that is exactly what he did, I never did see him again.

But then I figured something out. I knew someone had to come back to this spot cause that is where the computer is and where all the orders are taken. So I went and hid amongst the wallpaper samples of Home Depot and sure enough first one worker came and then another appeared. Ah-Ha!!! I had two Home Depot employees in the same spot, an unheard of thing, but it happened! Right before my eyes. Trouble is, nothing was going to happen, these were two males, pretty useless in the area of wallpaper. But I moved in nevertheless and even though they saw me, they continued their male banter for another 5 minutes before I said "EXCUSE ME". Oh, one said, "Do you need help"? No! I came here to see if two male Home Depot employees will try to mate". "Of course I need help you numbnuts." So what happened? They both diappeared with one promising to bring back the perfect person for the job.

True to his word the right person did come to help and we got our order done and all was well once more. Oh, did I mention that the Home Depot employee that finally ended up helping us was female?

PS. I also realized why the computer area is a favorite spot. It's the only place in the store where there are chairs!!
