Melinda, I totally forgot about the band trip. Historically, is was over spring break and every other year, but they changed it this school year to marching New Year's Eve. I was kind of a stinker complaining about it not being spring break, but it would have been canceled. She came home with the worst flu (ironic) that she ever had from that trip, but she at least got to go. I'm with you, though. We can celebrate stuff whenever. I did Valentine's Day two weeks early this year because I got a good price on tenderloin end of January.
