I am not usually a frequenter of Wal-Mart although you can find some good deals there. I had been looking for a grill and since we don't do a TON of hosting now that we aren't in Hawaii I just wanted something small. I did have a few requirements: a condiment basket, tool hook, and it had to be a gas grill. NO MORE CHARCOAL FOR ME! SO, I found one at Wal-Mart. The Char-Broil brand. It's a reputable brand and the price was very reasonable. It was $85.00 and they will assemble it for free. So, I took them up on their free assembly offer. I went to Wal-Mart today to pick it up. All the way there I was dreaming about grilling my steak kabobs. I picked up the grill and te propane tank (also very reasonable at WM) and drove home. It's only 4:00pm so I had some time to prepare for grilling. Yes, there is thought and preparation involved. I get the thing out of the van and roll it to the back patio. Then BAM! A punch in the gut!!! The darn thingwasn't even put together right!!! RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! In order to "fix" it you had to take the whole top apart. UGH! I had to of course, go all the way back to Wal-Mart. Eddie, the manager was very nice and he said I could pick it up first thing in the morning at 7:00 am. That is exactly what I am going to do.
Of course I am bummed about not grilling kabobs, but it has been a great day nonetheless. I got to catch up with my friend JF and it was so good to talk to her. Washed the linen - it's clean sheet day! My favorite day of the week. Vacuumed the house. Cleaned out the fridge. Did a few other loads of laundry and worked out. Gotta get that BOOM BOOM POW! Now, I have to run back to the store for the beloved Hershey's syrup for my delicious vanilla bean ice cream that I am going to thoroughly enjoy later with a movie. I am hoping to relax at some point. Maybe while I am sleeping!
Also, I have been on the hunt for new tennis shoes. Good ones. Ones that don't hurt my feet since I wear heels all week long. I went to the New Balance store and bought some. I even spoke to a shoe specialist. Yes, I said shoe specialist. I have worn New Balance before and really liked them but they are kinda pricey. Well, I have ran in them the last 2 days and my feet have been killing me. SO, of course I called the store and spoke to the nice youg man that sold me the shoes. He was very nice and said I could exchange them no problem. So, I need to do that too. Maybe on Tuesday. I don't think they are open tomorrow.
Other than that not to much else is going on. I am hoping next week is going to be as awesome as this ast week was. YAY! Again, have a safe, fun, and happy weekend.
Until next time....
