(no subject)
There is so much to write here, but I'm having a hard time being organized to write any of it.
So.
I've been in a little acquisitional mode lately.
For my birthday I got two new jackets - a normal jacket from my MIL. Cool thing about this, aside from it being comfy and easy to wear (all day at work, its a light jacket), is that the pockets have zip pockets inside large hand warming pockets. This thrills me, since i'm always worried about things falling out of my pockets even if they zip because i unzip them to put my hand in...
I also got a new rain-biking-jacket from my parents. Its a Showers Pass, and so far seems pretty bad ass. Its a little hard for me to get up the energy to bike to work on a regular basis, but i'm still determined to do it sometimes, and i'm actually pretty excited for that first down-pour-commute with this thing. Works pretty well just in the cold, but i think it will really pay off in a down pour.
I bought myself a pair of corduroys. And then i bought a second pair. Its awfully indulgent. However, i really liked the first pair, and i've recently had to throw out two pairs of jeans for being indecently-full-of-holes, and a pair of old cords is pretty threadbare, too. So I indulged, and i love them, so i'm pretty happy about that. Truth is, i'd feel a little weird going to work down town in yoga pants every day, so its definitely worth spending the small amount of 'extra' pay check to renew my wardrobe a little bit.
Then I got myself a pair of clogs. These were to fit the 'slip on, keep my feet out of the rain' bill. I'd been thinking of boots last year, but talked myself out of new boots (since i do have old boots that i'm still wearing, even though they're not slip-on), so i let myself get the clogs. I love them. I love them so much that i'm wishing i could justify buying a second pair - they slip on, i'm wearing them over warm socks, they are tall enough that my feet stay dry, i can run in them, they are so comfy.
And there you go, i've been spoiled, and i'm enjoying it.
