All you husbands, boyfriends and "baby daddies" out there, I hope you have finished your Mother's Day shopping. It's so funny how we think of these "holidays" as being so traditional, after all who wouldn't think it would be nice to have a mother's day? The greeting card industry is ingenious, thinking up these holidays so that we'll all run out and spend our hard earned cash. I read an interesting article once about how the US companies were trying to push Halloween on the French, but that it wasn't catching on despite a heavy advertising campaign. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked, I was just going to suggest that all you late shoppers run down to Victoria's Secret and get mom something sexy. Of course that's always my first idea for gift giving since it's the gift that gives back! Give mom a hug from me...see ya soon!

Ahhh... The economics of America! It's not just the greeting card companies. The entire shopping world goes crazy. I got a flyer from DELL computer suggesting I buy a computer, just for Mom. Hmmmm...
My favorite purchase, for my wife, was a tight pair of knit pants... all the better for a VPL. :-)
So most holidays are a scam.
I can't help it, I'm a sucker for a cute holiday anyway. :)
