Mail Order Madness

There is a hilarious line in the movie "Best In Show" where Parker Posey, playing Meg Swan, is dialoging with her husband Hamilton, played by Michael Hitchcock and she says, "...We are so lucky, we are so lucky to have been raised amongst (mail order) catalogs." Ha. Michael adds, "It's so much easier, because, especially you don't have to deal with people as much. You can just talk to the person on the phone..." and then Parker adds, "Or not." It's a very, very funny scene.

This weekend I was doing some sorting and cleaning and I decided to attack our ridiculous stack of mail order catalogs. I am embarrassed at the number of catalogs we get. And how we ever started getting some is a mystery to me, but I enjoy them all. I think I will probably call them bulk of them though and ask them to take us off their mailing list. Now with the internet, it's just as easy to shop online. And I'm sure we'll save a few trees.

I thought I'd post my collection here for you to enjoy. Check them out online if you feel so inclined. There are some good ones. I have to say, I feel as do Meg & Hamilton, so lucky to have been raised with the catalogs!
