So, in an effort to laugh through the pain, I present to you the following. Trust me when I say that it is wisdom born of experience. Bitter wisdom from even more bitter experience.

Didn't realize you were shopping in Virginia.... That's what it's like here!
Funny.
I've missed your posts! Glad to see you're back!
Really good sales have been few and far between for me too.
But! We just found out that my nephew's girlfriend is expecting a baby. So--I will now be digging through all the baby stuff. We are so excited. My nephew was the last baby in our family and he is 19.
Anyhoo-glad you're back.
