Today was not a normal Saturday. Ron and Corgan let me sleep until noon, which isn't totally strange, but we usually run like crazy on Saturdays, but we weren't today, til after Josh stopped on his way home from work, so it okay.
Josh was supposed to get here around one. He texted at ten after one, that he was just leaving work now and would be here soon. Yipes...that threw stuff (like our lunch) a little off schedule. Oh, well, we will live.
So, after they were done with Josh's tire, and we arranged with him to have Corgan another night because of the holiday
and they will come for supper tomorrow night to pick him up and all that, he left, Ron and Corgan came in, cleaned up, and off we went.
We went to Home Depot for our white gravel for the zoo. They are out! Out! We were just there two weeks ago and they had tons of the stuff! Dammit. So...we have to go to Lowe's, where we can NEVER find anyone who works there to help us, and see what they have. Sigh. Off we go. Well, I guess since we went into the Garden Center part of Lowe's, and not the store part, there were TWO employees right there, right inside the doorway, and we asked, and she told us where to go (of course she didn't walk us back and load the cart like the man at Home Depot did two weeks ago...) to find it. Well, it looked to be regular-colored gravel, not white, and the bag didn't specify white, either. I was a bit worried about it. But we found a bag that was already torn open. Yes, already - I didn't, although I would have, lol. It WAS white, which was good. But (there's always a but, right) the edges of the front bags were turning green! Probably from where moisture had gotten into the bags all summer long. So Ron got Corgan's pocketknife and cut open the pallet above and checked those, and we finished getting all the bags we needed. Boy, did Corgan fuss at us. "Are you sure you're allowed to cut that?" "Will they care that you cut that?" nag, nag, nag That boy doesn't stop! I also bought me ten 'baby' mums ($1.00 apiece!) so I can pull the five summer flowers out of my squares, and set these small-pot fall flowers into them - and have more blooms!!
Now we are all starving, and have got one of our errands for the day done (the other will wait til on the way home), and are ready for lunch. It's after four in the afternoon! Between Josh being late, and having to go to both Home Depot and Lowe's, which we did not expect, it almost dinnertime! We decided to go Hibachi Grill - a Chinese buffet. We have not been there in a long time, and it sure sounded good! So, that's where we went.
I had a plate of food, went back for some seconds, and had a plate of dessert stuffs, along with a small dish of ice cream - rainbow sherbet, to be exact. Not only did I have too much food, I had WAY too many of those crunchy peanuts they have there. I do not know what they are covered with - something white (it's not yogurt. Yogurt isn't crunchy.) but damn, are they good! I usually don't like crunchy stuff - crunchy sweets - but mmm-mmm-mmmmmmm.
We came home after stopping at WalMart so I could do the shopping that was planned for today - during which it started storming like all get-out. Whee! Loading groceries in the rain, so much fun. Luckily, Ron drove the truck right up to the door so I didn't have to walk the cart full of bags all the way out to where we parked. Then we came home and watched movies the rest of the night.
Oh, and the best news of the day???
