From September 29 - Crying Over Spilled (Green) Paint



My phone is dead and won't charge. Got a get-together tonight. Hubby has to work (insert gripe here sprinkled sparsely with gratitude). Van battery is 3/4 dead... not taking charge. Got things to do so at 8 am I took hubby's car to Home Depot to grab a quart of paint in the bright green my living room is painted. Imagine my horror when I grabbed the bag to find it (the bright green paint) spilled on the front seat.. of my HUSBAND'S car (cue hysterics). Thanks Home Depot paint guy... the lid was completely off the can. I was in shock and pulled the whole bag onto my lap before I realize what I was doing. I spilled paint all over the passenger side, across the console, onto the steering wheel, into my lap, then splashed it across the open door. Not to mention my now paint-spattered capris and my Etienne Aigner PURSE! Is it Friday the 13th or something????? I felt better after an "everything" bagel from Einstein Bros and some pumpkin spice coffee. What else will today bring? Or should I ask?



Update: I did call Home Depot the next day, when I wasn't hysterical, and explained what happened. They were kind enough to replace my quart of paint, and reimburse me for the cost to clean the car, my clothing, and my towels. They keep my business - their customer service was excellent. :)
