Home Sweet Home

I was completely finished moving before 12:30 pm on Saturday. I was completely unpacked (except for my 'office') by 10 that same night. When you don't have a lot of stuff, it's easy.

So far, I've spent about $230 between Home Depot and Lowe's. For the record, I don't like Loew's. Don't ask me to explain why cause I can't. I just like Home Depot better. And considering the money I've spent with them over the years, they like me too.

Saturday evening found me in the local Wal-Mart, which I will NEVER do again. I've never seen so many people in one freakin' Wal-Mart. I swear, the whole freakin' town was in there at once.

And can I ask a favor of you, Dear Reader? If you don't know how to use the self-checkout registers, then get the hell out of the way. How hard is it to scan an item, shove it in the sack, then swipe your card? Apparently it's much more difficult than I ever imagined.

Congratulations on your new house. Do you mind if I ask where you decided to settle?

I promise to never, EVER go to a Walmart during peak shopiing times. No worries.

Glad you are all moved in. When is the par-tay???

congrats on the move.

i was also at home depot this weekend, and it was faster to stand in line than try the self check-out. the same people who don't know how to use an ATM are the ones trying to figure out this new "faster" method.

bastards.

anyhoo... CONGRATS!!

Let me take a different tone here. Completely unpacked? Really? I think I hate you.

That said, I wish you lots of happiness in your new, and completely unpacked, home!
