They're Going Back! It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Schools here in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area begin in less than 10 days.

And, with that being said, I thought it was time to share my favorite "back to school" video with everyone!

Just look at the expressions on the faces of everyone in this wonderful Staples advertisement!

Priceless!

They're Going Back! It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

With Wake County schools set to open the 2011-2012 school year on August 25th, here are some important links to have handy:

With the cost of supplies these days, I'm surprised 'daddy' wasn't a little uptight about prices! FUN video Craig! One more to go and we'll be empty nesters in 2 years.

Craig, Those are 2 happy shoppers. Their look of "excitiment" can only be matched to the lucky buyers and sellers working in Raleigh/Cary/Apex with the One and Only Mr. Rutman!

Wanda - And when you're an empty nester you'll look like those kids in the video!

Frank & Karen - If you're missing the school shopping you could always shop for my kid!!!

Jill - Thanks Jill! I love that video too. So funny! Such great marketing.

Larry & Sheila - I've had clients who looked like those kids when we first started working. But soon after they looked more like the Dad in the video!

Michael - Those are two happy kids huh? Their expressions just kill me!

Craig, yes I do agree that it's the most wonderful time of the year.

I also wanted to confirm that I have run into more than my fair share of "Ignoranus's" this week...I just didn't know what to call them...well that's not true...I knew what to call them, I like this new term better.

Christine - I only have two years left before my little one heads on off to college. Then I'll be singing the Blues like you are too, Christine.

Nick - Funny, but that was my favorite definition on that list too! For anyone who isn't aware of what we're referring to here, send me your email address and I'll send you "the list".

Roger - Glad you were able to make it back and glad you enjoyed the video! Mickey had it right!

Hey Craig! I have been singing that Christmas tune since I saw this post pop up early this morning! I read it and didn't get a chance to comment and I've been singing the tune in the shower, whistling it to my doggies when I went home today and it's just put me in THE best mood!

Of course, everyone around me thinks I'm crazy but, I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Have a fabulous Friday!

Hmm, and I thought Christmas was the most wonderful time of the year. But it's a fun video anyhow.

Craig, believe me I did look at the expressions on their/your faces. It makes me want to go back and explore elementary school today. I would bet it would be a breeze...lol! I loved our conversation today. I hope you enjoy the results of your labor.

Scheduled to post tomorrow evening!

Hugs,

I have a feeling that you were the teacher's worst nightmare. Someone who was always plotting his next adventure and how to get away with it. Great video and thanks for sharing. I got a good laugh from this one.

Debe - So glad to have put you in a good mood for the day. And, at least it's better than having the Barney Theme song stuck in your head all day!

Jeff - I'm with you my friend. I'm with you.

Deb - I'm thinking I could breeze through elementary school right about now too. High school geometry... Now that's another story. Loved today's conversation too. To be continued....

Jane - I was something. Probably not the teacher's pet. But definitely something!

Doug - Actually Doug, I was a very quiet student. But I was always thinking.... Glad you enjoyed the video. I laugh every time I see it.
