"Excuse me."

Last Wednesday, after school, I went to Home Depot in Park City to ask if they would donate some supplies to The Colby School P.E. Program. I chatted with a nice young man who said he would talk to the Manager.
So, off I went to meet the manager at the back of the store by the scrap wood. When we finally talked, I'll be honest, he was a sassmaster and it irritated me, BUT they were willing to donate as long as I didn't have too much on my list. (Thank you Home Depot.) He asked me what specifically I needed and I said, probably a few pieces of wood and some cinderblocks. Then, gave me attitude and said he needed to know specifically what I needed so he could OK this with his supervisor. I told him I had the list in my car, to his surprise, and I asked, "where should I meet you?" His kind, costumer service reply was, "I'll be around". Ugh. So I went back out to the car to get my list of supplies I need.
When I came back in, no "M.O.D." to be found, but the same young gentleman who helped before was ready to help again. We walked around the store gathering warped wood and broken cinder blocks.
As we were standing in the 4" x 4" aisle, I saw an Orange Apron with two people following behind him. The woman and man each had their own cart full of things like brooms, trash cans, etc. and were headed down our aisle. I thought, hmm, that woman sure looks like Katherine Heigl. But, there's no way. So, they continued our way. As they came closer, I was nearly convinced this woman was Dr. Izzy Stephens, but couldn't be sure. The Orange Apron walked by with a queer little smile on his face and said, "Excuse me". Followed by.... drum roll please.......

KATHERINE HEIGL!

Oh, and it gets better... As she walked by, she too said, "Excuse me"... to ME!... looked right at me and everything! It really was her!!! I knew it! (They were headed towards the step ladders, in case you were wondering. She bought two.) I never thought I would be so star struck! I swear my jaw dropped and I stuttered over my words to accept her "excuse me". Haha. I'm such a loser.
As the nice young gentleman and myself headed out of the aisle to go cut wood, I had to call Katie!!! So, there I am, standing in the next aisle, peering over to make sure she had left and couldn't hear me, I whisper into the phone,
"Katie! Can you hear me??"
"What!? I can't hear anything you're saying!"
"Katie! Can you hear me?? I just saw Katherine Heigl at HOME DEPOT!!"
"Who?!"
"Um, hello!! Dr. Isabel Stephens from Grey's Anatomy!!!"
"Who?!"
"IZZY, KATIE!!! I JUST SAW IZZY FROM GREY'S ANATOMY!!!!!!"
"SHUT UP!"...

etc, etc. Anyone who knows the relationship between Katie and I can only imagine the hysterical conversation that continued.

For those of you who are now wondering where the picture is I took with her in the warped wood and step ladder aisle... get ready for disappointment. I am a wimp!! I didn't even sneak around the other aisle and snap one from my iPhone. Lame. BUT, to my argument, she seemed a bit stand off-ish. I could tell she felt a little uncomfortable... it's not like I was staring with a dropped jaw or anything, haha. Anyway, I didn't want to bother her. She just wanted her step ladders and trash cans and wanted to check out. (Which by the way, I was standing in the check out line behind her... it was fantastic. haha)
So now, I'm sure you want to know what kind of a cute outfit she had on. She was wearing red chucks, skinny jeans, and a white 3/4 sleeve hoodie with thin, horizontal black stripes. Her hair was down, and it's short like it is on Grey's right now. So, basically, she was adorable and I am a pansy.
