Were you paying attention??? National Buy Nothing Day is Nov 28th – Black Friday!
Do we have to participate? I am looking forward to shopping at 5am with you (I’ll miss Ingrid, though!).

Ha! I know — the biggest shopping day of the year! And the buzz is that the prices will be outrageously low this year to really attract those of us who are trying to cut back.
I’m there, Sarah. We’ll shop on Ingrid’s behalf.

SO what are we doing for your B-Day!? It is “Time to CELEBRATE Beth” day!!!

Are all of these sanctioned by our government? Even Beth’s 40th?

Shouldn’t everyday day be Use Your Common Sense Day?

Well, I work for myself, so I usually just take a day off whenever I feel like it, but I’m totally down for celebrating National Chocolate Covered Anything Day.

11/27 D.J.’s 50th Birthday! Where will you be?

I agree with Lindsay about National Chocolate Covered Anything Day. And yep, I work for myself so I take a day off anytime it suits me. Like yesterday…
