It isn't all doom and gloom.

So the coat is a failure.
The upside to today is that I baked a delicious pound cake (thank you to Sophia Loren for the recipe) and I found a fantastic deal on a flight for my brother Tom. He hasn't been home for Christmas in a couple of years and he will be home in time to attend our sister Kitty's 18th birthday. It makes everyone happy.
Mind you I never want to wait this long to book a flight. (this is partly the nature of Tom being a poor actor/waiter) All the searching and waiting and fear was a bit like playing a high-stakes game of craps.

But back to the coat I suspect I may have to go make the time to visit Nordstrom or Macy's (without a baby) and try on coats. I just want a good quality wool coat that doesn't make me look dumpy yet fits my broad shoulders and sausage arms.

Shopping without a baby?Now that could get to be a habit!

crazy idea it may be, but Target has some seriously decent warm wool coats right now - large selection of cute ones for $59.

I just got this one. It's adorable and I'm getting oodles of compliments.

Kitty is almost 18?!

Excuse me ... I have to go catch a 4pm dinner at Denny's, watch the least offensive evening news I can find, take my metamucil, and fall asleep in a recliner.
