I left work around 4:30 this afternoon and stopped at the Home Depot, affectionately called the Orange Box in my family. This activity was necessary in order to bless a sweet couple for their wedding shower tomorrow. Walking in, I was greeted with that awesome hardware store smell. You know...the earthy, rusty, musty air. For some reason, it's comforting to me. Maybe it reminds me of my childhood and the trips I would make with my dad. Anyway, I know I have to get the registry printed...so I try to find an employee to ask where the best place to do that is. She points me to the service desk, which is by the door where I walked into the store. After the list is printed by the not-too-enthusiastic employees send me on my way, I proceed to walk around aimlessly for like 10 minutes. I have no idea where to look for the item I've picked. None. Great. Eventually, an employee comes to help me out. I was grateful. He definitely saved me from looking like more of an idiot.
I head home after paying for my purchase. Once I got home, I really didn't have a game plan. There were definitely some things I wanted to do: clean out the fridge, organize the Tupperware, and watch the Olympics. So what did I do? I cleaned out the fridge for our house of 6 girls. I wiped it out, and it looks and smells better! I organized our tupperware
to look like this:
and this:
It's so much better. After that, I washed dishes. Or maybe I washed dishes before that. I don't remember.
I then ordered my favorite pizza from Mr. G's and it was wonderful. I got to sit down, eat, watch the Olympics...take a nap and then wake up in order to see my favorite Olypmian: Apolo Ohno. Although I was completely shocked about how the race turned out, I've gotten to see all of his races in this Olympics, and that makes my Friday night complete.
For this 23yo, I'm fully satisfied with how my Friday night turned out. Maybe this means I need a new life.
Thanks for reading my ramble.

I worked until midnight last night :( but I did have apolo on in the background...I was sad too...he shouldn't have been disqualified.
ReplyDeletewell...if you think your Friday night was sad, then so was mine! We had similar evenings ;-)
ReplyDeleteI came home from a loooong week of "teaching", washed dishes with my Mom, sent out a MILLION facebook messages about my t-shirts, ate dinner with my folks, and watched the Olympics until 10:30. At that point, I decided to go read in bed. I got three pages into my book and decided I was too tired, so I went to bed (BEFORE 11 PM!). ha. I'm 22, temporarily live at home, and can't stay up late anymore..sad. ;-)
