I looove holidays, and mostly for the food. These days you can usually even expect a good brunch out of Mother's and Father's day, but other "Hallmark holidays" are the worst.

"Hallmark holidays" ironically are not on my x list because of their over commercialization (I can appreciate a nice Christmas tree in Macy's in September) but rather because they do not usually involve food and because greeting cards now cost more than my morning coffee (and those crazy music ones can top out higher than dinner).

Today's official holiday might be Hallmark's most lame attempt, Boss's Day. Supposedly it is a day where we are supposed to thank our bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.

So in case you forgot to pick up a greeting card on your way to work today, take a tip from Jeffrey Yamaguchi, who clearly shares my opinion of the ridiculousness of this "holiday"...

Here's a few of his realistic Hallmark card entries from his "What To Say To Your Boss On Boss Day" :

"Thanks for calling me during my vacation -- I knew something was missing, and when all that work stress flooded back into my core, I figured it out immediately."

"Thanks for using your expense account to buy our holiday gifts -- at least we got something decent this year."

"Thanks for 'working from home' so much."

"Thanks for 'running late' so often and causing our never-ending staff meetings to be cancelled."

"Thanks for dancing like that at the office party and even giving the thumbs up while I captured the whole thing on video with my cell phone."

"Thanks for always thinking of us. We've come to love and cherish the leftover danish from your meetings, given that that's about all we ever get. Happy Boss's Day!"

"Thanks for always keeping me in the loop. For example, I love how you come by my desk and tell me the coffee pot is empty, every damn time. Happy Boss's Day!"

"Thanks for always stepping in front and taking the lead. You really know how to take credit for everyone else's ideas and hard work. Happy Boss's Day!"

"Thanks for all your efforts. Such as the way you can just keep on talking about absolutely nothing and make those staff meetings drag on forever, to the point where everyone just wants to stab their own eyeballs out. Happy Boss's Day!"

And there's some wonderful baskets, cradles and bassinets to choose from. Go for baby bassinets that have an easy setup feature to avoid going through the hassle of a difficult setup. And as a parent, it is only natural that you find the perfect bassinet mattress for your baby.

Similar to channel settings, there are many accent used for the set using far
less metal. Reputable offline jewelers pretty much all have
online stores. Don't worry about how much you should spend for your ring.

The crew compartment is about halfway back again and
can house two mini figures. You'll find that the minifigures from some sets go really well with minifigures from other sets. Included in the furnishings for this area are several books, a telescope, and the Vanishing Cabinet.

This is due to the fact that you will not need to purchase another dresser for your child when he or she begins to grow up.
And enjoy your new baby, your whole life has just changed.

Though this article might be of great help in your decision to buy a baby bassinet,
try to find out more on baby bassinets by reading reviews and other
articles on the internet.
