That's something I have noticed since moving here as well. I know it's become a commercial circle-jerk at home too, but it's SO MUCH WORSE here because of the sheer number of people in our area. And since I live down the road from a big-ass Catholic church and near to a shopping area, the traffic around here has SUCKED.
I want to go home and hang out on the cousin's farm and bake and feed people. Instead, I'm stuck in the Baltimore-Washington Metro Sprawl surrounded by commercialism and 20c temperatures and in-laws who are Fundies but are otherwise VERY NICE PEOPLE.
