Casual Friday with Mir—because some days are made for wearing your jeans and surfing the blogs.

Good Friday morning once again, my friends! Do you know what today is? No? Well let me tell you. This is the first day of Mother’s Day Weekend. Don’t believe anyone who tells you it’s only Sunday. It’s a three day weekend. Says me. The pampering needs to start today, is all I’m saying.

Offered up for your reading pleasure:

• Look, sometimes, a deli hides from you. It’s happened to me before.
• I like the idea of writing a note to your future amnesiac self, actually.
• Schmutzie rounds up some creepy commercials, and I will be having nightmares about the word “chockadoobie” for the rest of my life.
• Hey, baby… drink here often?

Now, what might you need to look into as a little Mother’s Day gift for yourself, hmmm…?

Through May 12th, 2008, find yourself something purty over at Shoebuy.com and use coupon code Mothersday08 to take 20% off your order. (Free shipping, free returns, no sales tax!)

Through May 14th, 2008, enjoy flat $5 shipping on your order at Kohls. Have a Kohls charge card? Use coupon code MAY15OFF for 15% off through the weekend, and you can stack it with code MVC2554 for free shipping. If you don’t have the Kohls charge, enjoy the $5 shipping and use code NEW5459 to take 10% off, anyway.

Of course you’ll want to look through the Amazon Friday Sale, right? Lots of goodies there.

This weekend it’s 5% off Garden and Patio items at Overstock, plus if you go through this link you’ll save another $20 off $300+, which is useful if you’re buying something biggish.

And biggish is totally a word, this weekend, for Mother’s Day Weekend. So there. Have a great one!
