Zomg, my leather jacket came today!!!   It's so heavy duty!  Like actually heavy, and looks very well put together and tough.  I think I was worried about it only looking cool and not being that functional but it's really thick leather and a super warm zip-out liner and strong zippers.  And the smell.  Nggh, it smells so good.  It fits nice too.  I read a lot about it and some reviews said the sizing ran kind of small.  So I got a large and I think it'll work nicely for me.  The sleeves seem a little long, but in bike-riding position they're perfect.  And zipped up there's a couple of inches between it and my body but I think that's space needed for moving and clothes underneath.  There's pockets inside and out, zippered ventalation on the sleeves and back, oh hell read all about it here.   (Although I got it like 50 bucks cheaper than what it says, woohoo!)  The only problem is the front zipper is kind of hard to get going since there's a snap-down on the waist.  But I think I'll get used to the motion of just pulling that back and zipping up after a while.  Even with the liner out it's warm, I probably won't be able to wear it until November.  Still, I love it.  It's sitting in my lap right now ya'll.

Onto other things; I bought baby-niece-on-the-way-Harper a chocolate lab stuffed fluppy-dog today.  (I used to call puppy-dogs fluppy-dogs, how cute is that?)  I kind of want to keep it.  It's made so it naturally curls up and it just looks like a freaking puppy!  I'll just smish it until she gets here.  Sometime I'll have a real puppy that's aaalll mine, not just a family dog.  And I will name him Axle.

I started reading "I Love You, Beth Cooper" during slow moments in the bookstore but starting and stopping was getting to be a pain.  I checked it out of the library today to finish it up properly.  It is freaking hilarious.  Innapropriately so, but it's still very smart.  The movie doesn't look like anything special, I doubt it's going to be one of those I go to to compare it to the book all intelligent-like.  Though I do really enjoy doing that.

Don't forget about Leverage tomorrow, night!  Eee!

And thanks for all the good thoughts for Sarge.  I heard today he had surgery and is recovering in Germany.  There's a tube in his back, but he's good.
