Saturday morning errands
May. 17th, 2008 12:51 pmI went out this morning planning to skip the usual Saturday Costco run in favor of visiting the nursery for a few herbs. I decided not to start from seeds. I want one pot of each herb, ideal for just buying a healthy plant, putting it in the pot, and letting it mature. I got two different kinds of thyme, peppermint, basil, lemon balm and rosemary. Also, for funsies, I got a tomato.
Then we went grocery shopping.
We were so efficient and there was enough room left in the trunk, that I decided we had time to do the Costco run after all.
Then the gas pumps weren't taking debit cards today.
Then the Barbarian dumped my change all over the ground. Then it took me extra time to find the dirt.
We were next in line, our stuff on the conveyor belt, when the staff started dashing through the store telling everyone to get out of the building.
*sigh*
Costco was on fire.
I swear. If I had skipped the gas line. If I had not let Barbarian get her hands on my wallet. If the dirt had been where it was last week. And I would have gotten out free and clear. But nooooooo.
*scowls*
So now, I have my plants, but no dirt for them. AND I have to go back out, and probably to a different Costco that I don't like as much.
At least, maybe if I go late in the day it won't be crowded.
*glares*
All I can say is, at least it really WAS on fire.
*glares more*
