Time warp?



We left the USA on July 31st for a 2 week vacation in the UK. We returned yesterday to find that it is apparently almost Halloween already as the supermarket had a whole aisle dedicated to Halloween candy and decorations and there was an aisle of pumpkin ales at the liquor store. Apparently we missed the whole 'back-to-school' season!

I was trying to buy one or two late supplies yesterday, and the section in Walmart wasn't there any more.

Roll on Christmas!

It's not that I won't be able to find the items DD needs for school, but I'm annoyed I missed getting them while they were on sale :-(

Oh great. The Queenager was giving me an earful before we came to England. She said we should go out Back-to-school shopping then, rather than wait till we get back to Chicago (next week). There's nothing worse than a teenager who was right all along.

Make sure you hit the stores by the end of September or you'll miss the Christmas season completely.
