    I can’t wait till you start selling a book of your drawings.

    Then I can buy it full price at Target, Amazon, or wherever best sellers are sold.

    I remember going back to school shopping. It was fun to get new stuff but such a drag because that meant that school was thisclose to starting up again. Lame.

    I wouldn’t know. We don’t have tax-free week(end) in IL like they do in other states. I think it has something to do with not being able to make the ‘protection money’ payment to the right ‘family’ members if we ever had a break on our tax burden.

    So far no one has died at a Wal Mart during a tax free weekend.

    Poor kids. You still look happy though.

    My kids would be excited by that many pencils, though. They’re gullible like that. heh.

    In the Black Friday weekend picture, the couple on the right had a fight the night before and are not speaking to each other, whereas in the 2nd picture, the Tax-Free weekend, the couple on the right had mad passionate sex in celebration of their upcoming shopping trip the next day.

    Did I get it right?

    Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I venture out on either weekend.

    The savings aren’t worth what it cost me in sanity.
