Today is a big day.
A big, BIG day.
A big, BIG day that has nothing to do with Easter.
A big, BIG day that has nothing to do with Cubs opening day at Wrigley …
though, for my husband, this is a big, BIG day.
A big, BIG day that has nothing to do with pastel colored mason jars.
Nope.
Today is a big, BIG day that has EVERYTHING to do with Mad Men.
Tonight the series finale begins. And the fabulousness that is Mad Men will come to an end in just seven episodes.
I’m both excited and sad.
So many questions need to be answered …
Will Don jump to his death like the opening sequence?
Will Peggy reunite with the child she gave up?
Will Megan be slaughtered by the Manson family?
Will Pete’s hairline continue to recede?
Is Joan secretly a Fembot who will go postal and unleash her breast cannons on the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce staff?
It will be hard to say goodbye to Don and Peggy and Roger and Joan. And resting-birch-face-queen-of-the-side-eye Betty.
Not to mention the fashions. The Go Go boots and mini skirts and hot pants and brown suits with fat ties and sideburns and ‘That Girl’ hairstyles ….
sigh.
I thought I’d leave you today with some with some fabulous Mad Men links I’ve been checking out this week.
You know, a little homework in advance of the series finale …

I watched Mad Men for the first few seasons, and then stopped when it got groovy. Mainly because my body looks better in those nipped-waist styles. My waist should reappear sometime in early June.
Love your jars, the colors are perfectly Springy. Have never watched Mad Men, we got rid of Dish last summer. Don’ t really miss except for HGTV and that show with couple in TX that fix up old houses for people to buy and History channel about the mountain men.
. Don’t watch nearly as much tv now, am on here or do other stuff. Plus have little money for myself now not having to pay for satellite tv. We have our cell phones thru Consumer Cellular for $20 a month each for 600 minutes, we don’t use all those except at holidays calling people in other states.
After hubs had his stroke in 10/10 we had to cut back on many things as he couldn’t work anymore. Just a matter of prioritizing. The only thing I would like to be able to do is go see our kids and friends in other places.
Enjoy Mad Men tonight and a nice dinner. Happy Easter
Someday maybe I’ll binge watch Mad Men. All those cigarettes smoking make me nervous. Enjoy!
The BIGGEST thing today is the BIGGEST thing in the history of the world! Today is the resurrection of Our Savior, Jesus Christ !!! EASTER SUNDAY!
While I do love your jars, I don’t watch Madmen, so to honor your big big day I’ll stop in at Town and Country.
