I am so glad I got an e-mail yesterday that the earrings I had on backorder for my niece were being shipped. Big relief as I didn't want to brave the stores this weekend and try to come up with an idea something else for her...



I was working at a Target during the original "Cabbage Patch" craze in the 80s and think it is crazy how people react to a certain toy... We opened the doors at 0900 one winter morning and a mass horde of crazed women smashed their way to the back corner where we had stacks and stacks of the dolls. They took out anything in their path, like a tornado... Within 10 minutes, a huge number of dolls were gone and the corner of the room was a mix of settling dust, teeth, blood, broken glasses, and a few hair ribbons that were lost on unfortunate dolls...



Since then, terms like Black Friday and 10 or less shopping days until Christmas put fear into my heart and keep me at home.
