I was at the local mall today buying myself jeans.
And while I was there I discovered that there is something that can put me in a worse mood then trying on jeans.
Okay, something that can even put me in a worse mood then trying on a swimsuit or jeans.
This other thing?
Hearing Christmas music on mall speakers on November 1st.
I mean, come on people, I haven't even got my Halloween decorations put away yet. I need at least a week before I can start thinking about Christmas.
Please.
Grrrrr.
Maybe those kids with ear buds and iPods blasting their own music into their heads are on to something….
I have noticed Christmas stuff for sale for the past few weeks. It just keeps starting earlier and earlier.

I heard the same thing. It was awful! Do the retailers really think the music will inspire good feelings and an urge to buy? It just ticked me off!

I like a story and that is why I like to shop local. On a hot, humid day in summer I will bike up a very big hill to get some Nestrovich peaches. Part of the joy is to get a smile and a little tale out of the Mr’s Nestrovich. One legend is that the grandfather stopped in England on his way over from Russia, he was delayed a bit longer than planned because he literally missed the boat. Would he have enjoyed the company of the unsinkable Molly Brown had he managed to get on the Titanic?
