Three and a half hours . . .

In Home Depot! Yup, you read that correctly. We spent 3 1/2 hours in Home Depot yesterday getting the things we need to do the baby’s room. We’ve ordered our wallpaper, bought the stuff to hang it, got paint and primers, picked out a ceiling fan, bought new trim for the walls and all the rest of what we needed.

If I had one customer service suggestion for HD it would be to do something about their floors! They have the hardest floors to stand on for any amount of time. My feet, legs and back were killing me by the time we left!

I did find places to sit for a bit in several departments and I had brought knitting and a large bottle of water with me and they had a Dunkins at the front of the store so I was able to get a muffin for a snack . . . but I was still seriously exhausted by the time we got home. DH had thought I was silly to bring the water with me (he thought we’d only be there 30 min!) We were there so long that I got nearly a third of the baby sweater I’m knitting for a friend’s baby shower next month done while we were there!

As an aside: I have one more reason to be glad we are planning to use Cloth Diapers on Peanut. I just heard on CNN that the price of disposable diapers will be going up on July 15th this summer. If I had to guess, I’d guess that it is related to the cost of crude oil . . . but that is just a guess. I’m so glad I won’t be using them on a regular basis!

DH is working lunch and I need to get moving since I’m going to get some dyeing done today! I’m doing the warm colorway for the Mystery kits (finally) and tomorrow I’m going to do the cool colorway.

Wish me luck!
