That Damn Shower Rod...

Tonight I was struggling w/ what I was going to blog about... I was on the verge of blogging about the crappy part of Paterson I wandered into (drove past Eastside High School, from the movie Lean on Me... oh my I felt real white!) & then it happened! My blog worthy event!! I was flossing the remnants of dinner (breakfast for dinner, our favorite!) from my teeth & the shower curtain came crashing down... I tried 3 times to put it back, but it had lots its ability to maintain enough tension to stay in place. The only way to save the day was to head out to the Home Depot & get a new one... Not exactly what I wanted to do at 7:15 on a Thursday night when I was already in my sweat pants... But, the shower curtain wasn't gonna fix itself so to the Depot I went. Of course the one thing I needed was located in the furthest reaches of the abyss that is the Home Depot.... At the self checkout I musta looked New Jersey style "thrilled" cuz a staff member asked if I was having a problem. I said no, & that I was just waiting for my reciept. Funny how there was a guy ready to help me, when I didn't need any help... Where is he when I need the f*cking help!!!!!!! That my friends, is typical in the life 'o me.. I got my reciept, went home & hung the shower curtain.. At least we use the shower curtain in the shower.. Some people around here (white trash) use the shower curtains as real honest to goodness window curtains!!! These people are of course the same type of people w/ the old refridgerators & mattresses on their front porches... Gotta love it baby!

You are dead on about home depot. You will only find someone to help if you don't need it!! It feels like you have walked the store forever. I'm glad you use the shower curtain in the shower. Way to boycott being south of the north!!! Wang
