I. Love. Lowe's.

Lowe's: Helpful staff who, while not exactly happy to help you, are not despondent or overworked or running to another area to handle another task.
Orange competitor: Surly staff who you have to chase down across the store.

Lowe's: Good prices.
Orange competitor: Decent prices, but not as good as Lowe's.

Lowe's: Orange flashing "poke me for help!" devices on each row. Sends a helpful staff member (see above) to you while you wait in comfort.
Orange competitor: No such thing.

Lowe's: Staff who will point out when the cost of installation for garage doors is on special for $45 off. (Stupid customer would have paid full price without batting an eyelash.) Note this required staff member to call over a supervisor of sorts, thereby lengthening the amount of time I had to stand over his shoulder and say: "Are you done yet? Can I leave yet? I'm hungry. Seriously, let's get going darling."
Orange competitor: Unknown. My gut says this would not have happened here. Not my impatience; that would have happened anywhere. The helpfulness.

Lowe's: Helpful employee (wish I had gotten his name) ignored my daughter who stood by a door and sent Daddy away while she pooped in "privacy," meaning she faced a door and covered her eyes to perform her bodily function.
Orange competitor: Unknown.

Lowe's: Awesome.
Orange competitor: If you have to go there, go there. But you should go to Lowe's.

You're welcome.

Pizza for dinner. I wanted the yummy Italian joint where I enjoy the caprese salad (mmmmmmm), but there was a wait. Nuh uh! So we went to Bobby G's. Bobby G's, while known for their delicious thin crust pizza, is not exactly the place to enjoy a low-calorie healthy meal. I had a salad. And pizza. And some more pizza. And a Mike's. Ugh. There is more.

There is a phenom known as a "frozen banana." Apparently this is a big deal up north. They are really yummy. Except for the banana part. Frozen and tasteless, it is the surly father you must charm before you can enjoy an evening with his lovely daughter. It is awful. The chocolate is the only redeeming value in a frozen banana. And I like bananas. A lot.

In case you were wondering.

No run this morning. I am lame to the infinite power. At least I know it, right?

Go.
