I have been saying this ALL month. ...Amen Sister. I have been saying this ALL month. It is particularly noticeable after moving from CA to MN - people here can not seem to get enough of winter - they talk about it all summer, and as soon as August first comes they say, "it was a good Summer, but it is getting too hot. I can't wait for Fall, I love Fall." And I want to yell in their face - enjoy what you have while you have it because before you know it you will be wearing so many clothes your arms will be sticking straight out and you will be sprinting from house to car, car to house, that all you will be doing is talking about how you can not wait for Summer! You said what I have been crying all month. It is still summer people!my hyggelighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419682239783674156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-83864504130580071182007-08-11T09:08:00.000-07:002007-08-11T09:08:00.000-07:00I think that "craptastic" might be my new favorite...I think that "craptastic" might be my new favorite word.

Bless you.<BR/><BR/>Meg - Back to school? In two weeks? I always wished school started one week earlier when I was a kid so that I could have my birthday at school. I missed it by ONE WEEK my entire childhood and it was frankly scarring.<BR/><BR/>Lera - We need to start some sort of campaign to keep this from happening. Perhaps I will not buy ANYTHING holiday-ish until I deem it appropriate. Like, say, 10/30 for Halloween, 11/23 for Thanksgiving and 12/24 for Christmas. Take that!<BR/><BR/>Melisa - Please share my new stategy (above) with your friends and retailers. NO MORE HOLIDAY STUFF IN SUMMER DAMN IT!<BR/><BR/>Sara - Hail? In Milan? In summer? How un-chic! You tell that winter weather to back the hell off.<BR/><BR/>Jan - Does this happen at your house? Dear. I am sorry. We have a neighborhood decoration contest, but thankfully my neighbors never win, and they don't feel the need to keep trying. Sadly, this doesn't discourage them either.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-16916317694305502962007-08-09T05:16:00.000-07:002007-08-09T05:16:00.000-07:00At least your neighbors sole goal is not to win fi...At least your neighbors sole goal is not to win first place in the Christmas light contest each year.

I can't figure out why retailers rush these things. No one (NO ONE!!!) is thinking about Halloween in August. Why do WE know this, but the retailers and advertisers do not?lerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915229045413130688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-55826009481246355182007-08-08T18:23:00.000-07:002007-08-08T18:23:00.000-07:00Right you are!
