On an early morning trip to the hardware store I had some thoughts. I'm sharing them with you. That is all.
1.) I think the word is out that Lowe's is getting the women's choice award. 99.9% of the shoppers I saw there were women. And all the help stations were "manned" haha get it? The nice thing is I still recognized most of the people at the help stations from when I was working there in 2005. I think they know how to retain employees.
2.) A girl wandering in the hardware store in moccasin slippers, jeans, and a hoodie lined with fuzzyness must scream USELESS! When I asked WHERE the brackets were for the fence I'm building the guy didn't just show me WHERE they were he, found what I needed and then proceeded to count them out for me too. (I offered to count, but he didn't seem to trust my skills.) He also told me to tell the guys building the fence to put the bracket on the posts first...I didn't waste my breath telling him that in fact I was building the fence.
3.) I like going to the hardware store with Luke. When we go together I get the luxury of maintaining high lumber standards (I get to reject the ones I don't like) without having to do all the lifting and moving and lugging. Luke just makes it look effortless, which is why I was quick to reject the 4th guy who thought I looked useless and was offering to help me pick wood. I kicked my self later as I was super awkward. I did manage to get the better wood though.

Ummm... how "early" was it??? ;)
Good luck with YOUR fence-building... way to go, GIRL!! :)
Hahaha actually I woke up at 7:30 today with no alarm! Ugh. I had hoped to sleep in a little bit, but I was at the store by 9! Lol
Hey, I'm impressed! :)
they don't help you because you look useless, they help you because you're HOT!!!
We slept in to 7:30 on Saturday, it was heaven. I can't tell you the last time we were able to sleep in like that. It must be bon-bons with latte in heaven to sleep until 9:00!!!
Hmmm, if only the stores opened accroding to our early wake-ups. Perhaps that's why Mom's love Walmart, Target, Kohl's, etc!! I'm done even before the mall opens, and with Kohl's open until midnight, what more could a Mom ask for???
