Big Black (um)Brella

So, as I was walking into work yesterday in the pouring rain, it occurred to me as being one of those days when I'm extremely thankful that my mom bought a ginormous umbrella while visiting me several years ago, and conveniently "accidentally" left it with me. Thanks, Mom!

A Good(will) Find

So, I've put on a few pounds since I bought my winter coat in 2000. Last time I had it on, I couldn't zip it, but could still button it. But I've put on a few more pounds since then. So I talked with Jason about my need for a new winter coat. He said, "That's fine, but do you mind looking at Goodwill first instead of just going out and buying a NEW coat?" I was a little reluctant, since I have a hard time finding good clothes in my size there, but I agreed.


So, on Saturday morning I headed out to hit the two closest Goodwill stores, and much to my surprise, I got a fantastic grey pea coat... for $10! I may have to look at Goodwill more often!
