Is it strange that today I did some random shopping at Wal-Mart wearing shorts and a t-shirt while the entire store was decked out in Christmas, including festive music pumping through the speakers? I hate this! Truth be told, I'm not crazy about the holidays and I think years of retail employment tainted my spirit. But come on people! Today is November 6th and this is NOT the first day I've seen and heard Christmas. This has been going on for at least a week or two already. I complain everywhere I go, even to store managers. Two weeks ago a Kohl's employee changed the music when I voiced my distaste - it wasn't even Halloween yet!
I completely understand the fact that retailers do this in hopes to boost holiday sales, but even this is wacky, because most of them have a 30 day return policy. I am not ready for this madness yet, it was just summer!
Gripe over.
In other news, our little sweetpea turned 7 months today. She is days away from crawling, rocking on hands & knees and scooting backward. Look out, we're in for it now! She's been enjoying a small variety of solid foods and is obviously truly ready for what she's been offered. She has cut her first two teeth as of a couple week ago, right in line with her siblings at the same ages. Valentina's personality blossoms, but be warned she is no wallflower! She lets her opinion be heard.

It IS early... but I must say, John and I did crank up Frank Sinatra singing Christmas tunes over the weekend! We just LOVE Christmas music! (But I agree that the commercial holiday early blitz is ridiculous.)
I'm there with you. The decorations are one thing, but starting the music the day after Halloween!? At least that's the first day I heard it. And I complained greatly to anyone who would hear it. Drives me bonkers.
