okay, the tweet pic in the Target hubub article made me giggle. i mean, the kids are going to be paying attention to the brightly colored toothbrushes & not paying any attention at all to the dark boxes to the right, but it IS an amusing placement. kinda like condoms in the diaper aisle…
Those things are great and all, but what I wanna know is…where are the grapes? π
And I’m so jealous of your wine gift! But thanks for the link so I can order two sets, one set to drink and one set to keep…you really think I could have that around me and not crack it open? *snort* Right. π

Carrie… right? That was quite the spot. π
Jo I can’t wait either!
His grapes look delicious?!? MARYSE!!!!

Thanks Maryse for making it so easy to get my Fifty video clip fix this morning!
