Decisions, decisions

Greg and I had a blast yesterday. After he worked in the morning and I ran errands and did some housework stuff, we met with our business insurance agent, then went to Modesto to have our Valentine's day lunch. Black Angus doesn't open until 4:00, so our business went to Olive Garden. On the way in, I was happily surprised to see a co-worker from Gallo that I've worked with since 1988.

We had a wonderful lunch and great conversation about our future. Next we went to the mall and returned a sweater Mark got for Christmas, then went to Bedrosians to look at the tile and granite. I found the granite I want for the kitchen countertops finally. Greg's only thing he wanted for the remodel was granite in the kitchen, but I never could find one that I liked. SO glad that's over! We brought home 6 tile samples for the floor with a $5 deposit and a promise to bring them back in 2 weeks. Fortunately, we both decided on the same three that we liked best and in the same order. We went to Lowe's to see if they would let us borrown a kitchen cabinet door to match with the granite, but we couldn't get anyone to wait on us. We grabbed a bunch of paint samples and faux finish brochures and left.

Next we went to Best Buy and picked up the two 37" plasma displays for the church hallway. Jon, if you're reading this, they're in my office. They were bigger and heavier than expected and we decided not to haul them upstairs to your office and have you haul them back down to install them.

We got home in time to pick up Kristen from drum lessons and get her ready to go to the 30 Hour Famine. We heated up our Olive Garden for dinner and headed out to Lowe's in Turlock, where we did get help, and they did loan us a door. They didn't want a deposit or even our names, we just have to bring it back Sunday. We got more paint samples, looked for slate, which we didn't find, and headed for home to watch Ocean's Thirteen and crash. Greg finished the movie, I fell asleep as usual.

Today, after Greg works at the church, we'll head up to Bedrosians and compare the cabinet to the granite. SO can't wait! We'll then pick up Kristen and hear all about the Famine.

Hope you have a great day!
