rootofnewtMy winter coat is old and raggedy. My cloak is in need of a new lining. So, I followed a link to a pretty velvet coat. It's just what I want *and* it's on sale.
Then I see the length. 53"
I check my current ankle-length coat. 43". i checked its size: 12P. all my other clothing (okay, my tops and dresses, anyway) is 14/16, so I figured the 14 from silhouettes would fit. Obviously, my height (or lack thereof) isn't something I remember very often. It's pretty hard to find a petite coat that will accomodate my lovely cleavage. Dammit, short people can have boobs, too! And plus-size folks can be SHORT!
I've checked thrift stores. Coats I like aren't anywhere to be found. I'm not that hard to please: long, natural fiber, lined, and comes in black, dark purple, or charcoal gray.
*sigh*
Guess I'll have to keep looking.
Other stuff I've done today:
+ called doctor's office about sinus infection. i'd like to have this treated BEFORE i fly to indiana next week.
+ called maintenance about clogged tub train, water marks on bedroom ceiling, and to check on the status of the furnace igniter replacement
+ tossed a load of towels into the wash
+ ate some leftovers
+ squirted toilet bowl cleaner into toilet
+ put some sweats on
+ put some potholders away
things i have not done:
+ actually CLEANED or TIDIED.
+ called artie to see about hanging out today
+ showered or gotten dressed
+ called my dad to get the VIN for my car
+ called insurance with that VIN to set up coverage.

okay
Date: 2001-10-29 11:02 am (UTC)Cool that you're getting your granny's car, even if it is a boat. I'm sure you'll find many ways to make it "yours." And you'll have a way to pick us up at the airport next time we come to town, right?
I have no idea how long the drive is from Elkhart. I think Chesterton (which is not too far outside Gary) is about an hour, so I suspect Elkhart is a good bit longer than that. *shrug* I'm so bad at estimating things like that. Hmmmm, I wonder what Yahoo Maps has to say about it . . . oy. They guess about 3 hours. Ooof. That's a piece of driving.
*pout* And visiting with you again would be so much fun. *kicks Elkhart for being so far away*
Re: okay
i'm only gonna be in indiana monday-fri, so i doubt i'll visit everyone i want to see.
but yeah... i'll have a land yacht to pick y'all up in when next you visit.
