Oh, so Home Expo is Home Depot's upscale upstart. I didn't know that, but I knew I couldn't afford to shop there simply because one just opened in my community. This area has gotten so rich that all they want is the fahnciest places to shoppe. (For example, when the mall expanded a couple of years ago, the locals literally demanded a Nordstrom's, and got one -- as well as a Lord & Taylor. I'm not sure why they allow JC Penney and Sears to stay ... they must have long term contracts from the Good Old Days when there was actually a McCrory's dime store there. I don't go to the mall nowadays -- I can't afford to shop there any more. Fortunately we now have a Target and are getting a Wal-Mart, so at least there's someplace I can buy things. =grumble=)
I had to laugh at the Mary Kay Pink. We moved into this house when Meredith was 5. She was upset at leaving the only home she could remember, and although I was trying to keep costs down by using stock colors for the rest of the house, I told her she could pick any color she liked to paint her bedroom. She chose one called "Ballerina Pink" -- as much because she loved the name as for the color. She was thrilled with it when she saw it. It was pretty much the same color as Pepto Bismol (http://www.pepto-bismol.com/). ;-)
