The Surprise....that wasn't

The other day I went to Kent's....5 times!  Just when I'd get back to the house from one trip, picking up one item, they'd send me back for another.  This pattern repeated itself several times throughout the afternoon.  To the point that I told my friend Kevin at the Contractor's Desk that I was certain the guys were planning a surprise party for me.  I said "they keep sending me for one item...then when I get back, they send me for another item...I think they're planning a surprise party for me and they just don't have the decorations up yet!"  He smiled and said "sure Katrina".  Needless to say, the surprise was on me when I returned at the end of the day from my final trip to Kent's to find....you guessed it....no surprise party :(  It was just a day of  ...extremely poor planning.

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY:  This is an old lesson, but one that always bears repeating....never "assume" - it makes an "ass" our of "u" and "me"...
