Procrastination
Hello again, it's me.
As we all know, there are some things that we'd rather not deal with. Things that, if we put them off, maybe will be dealt with by someone else.
This is rarely the case. For example, it doesn't matter how long you stare at/ignore a pile of laundry...it won't clean itself. Regardless of the amount of time you give your dishwasher...it refuses to unload itself. Yelling at the fridge to make you a sandwich will inevitably result in your going hungry.
Now, the reason for my imparting all this wisdom on you all?
Well...let's just say that, maybe if I hide out long enough, the trip to the Home Depot will happen without me, lol. Yes, the hubs is one of those males who can lose great amounts of time in the local home/garde/hardware store. Looking around at all the different sizes of couplings, ooh-ing and aaah-ing over the array of differently gauged wires, and, positively lusting over the tools on offer.
Here's what I get from visiting the local Home Depot--
1. blisters from having to traipse all over creation to find ONE TINY SPRING
2. grossed out in the bathroom after holding it for the two days the hubs is wandering around the store going "oooooh, look at the oak mouldings!"
3. frustrated when we're finally heading towards the checkout, and, he says, oh wait, I forgot the *insert vital piece of equipment here* and we start all over again
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's inhuman to expect your normal red-blooded American female to put up with these types of third world, or fifth world, whatever number of world we're on, conditions!
My recommendations to Home Depot to make it more amenable to the female consumer are as follows--
1. Provide places in which I may sit in comfort whilst waiting for the hubs to lose steam/submit to hunger long enough to leave your torture chamber/convenient shopping locale.
2. Offer a selection of shoes/clothing/cute stuff for us to look through--we're pretty much willing to look through piles/racks of clothing for days on end, so, the longer we're in there, the more likely we are to let the hubs buy some high priced tools he isn't going to use and doesn't really need.
3. Clean the bathrooms--maybe I shoulda put this one first, it is, for me, the most important part of any establishment. A clean bathroom is essential.
4. Build the store next door to a grocery store, or, better yet, a spa!
That type of experience would allow us to associate good things with the Home Depot excursion, rather than the nightmarishness which it is now.
Now, faithful readers, if you'll excuse me...I gotta go comb my hair and put some shoes on...it seems we might be going out for food instead of going to the home store...yeah yeah, I know, it's prolly a trick, but...dude...nachos!
bye for now
