Been There, Done That: Commercials on the mind

I try not to pay any attention to the commercials on TV. When they come on, that's my cue to leave my puzzle alone and go knock something off my to-do list. I say I "try" because lately a half-hearted attempt is all I've been able to accomplish. One, the volume alone makes it difficult to ignore them completely.

Let me just say for the record that I am so glad that the enrollment period has ended for Medicare supplemental plans. I couldn't wait for Dec. 7 to get here. We all blissfully switched to cologne ads for Christmas gifts. I can live with that, although many of the others can still be annoying.
