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.

Re: well, you know

i sought an expert opinion and was informed...
so, there you have it.
i'm not sure this expert is all he's cracked up to be, though he's certainly cracking up.
