it's that time of year

I bet you thought I was going to say for back-to-school...No, I am talking about the increasing number of catalogues I receive in the mail! Have you noticed it? The Halloween costume stuff came about three weeks ago, which freaked us out...now we are getting all the Christmas stuff...hard to think about when it is 100 degrees outside...I understand the retailers psychology...it is marketing 101, but it is still annoying nonetheless, and it actually turns me off...Everyday it has been 3-5 different ones, and unfortunately, it doesn't stop until January! Well, gotta go get ready to host 12 seven-year old girls for Lindsey's second annual back to school party tomorrow!
