Full of coffee, liquor, sushi, massages and bubble baths. And a mandatory trip to Europe (PJ has the idea).<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you, LoriBeth.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-53609111471819338042008-04-03T08:35:00.000-04:002008-04-03T08:35:00.000-04:00I do my best to hide from the reminders, too.

I wish I could fashion special x-ray glasses that block it all out for you! What is amazing to me is that these stores really don't care about how it affects people - all they care about is exploiting a made up holiday. We are the collateral damage.<BR/><BR/>Many hugs coming your way.Mrs.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03810703338888705439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-19155324134193666462008-04-02T10:35:00.000-04:002008-04-02T10:35:00.000-04:00I saw Mother's Day stuff out here about a week ago...I saw Mother's Day stuff out here about a week ago.<BR/><BR/>I guess it probably goes along with the trend of the run-up to holidays starting earlier than it used to - Halloween in the summer, Xmas right after Halloween, etc.<BR/><BR/>Other than it making more money for retailers, I've always wondered what's going on with that trend.

What fertile person thought that was a great idea?
