My 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.

my folks live an hour from indy (45 min from castleton). i'll be over there visiting a friend of mine at least once and i'll be in castleton once or twice to get food at winding way (unless dad stops at wild oats on our way home from the airport). so i could probably arrange a visit. :)

oo Wild Oats. I know where it is and love the place...and there's a great Thai restaurant in Broad Ripple if you want to meet for lunch? They do vegetarian...can you stand to watch someone eat meat? I can handle vegetarian if it's offensive to you...Or we could just chat over a smoothie at Wild Oats if you're really limited on time. I realize you're probably here to vist family for the most part

eh, i avoid eating food in indiana. i'm allergic to soy (among other things) and most restaurants in indiana are just plain dangerous. i did eat at a cool greek place in broad ripple this spring, though. we'll figure it out next week. what hours are you generally available? i don't know which days i'll be available. i have to drive up to goshen/elkhart/lagrange one day (stay the night, come home next day) and to west lafayette another. such a short visit. :/ i promised to see a friend who lives near broad ripple, though, so i *will* be in indy at least one day. ;)

allergic to soy and vegetarian, wow, that has to be some balancing act, I'm impressed!
Greek food is cool...I can handle about anything except curry, tumeric tends to set off the asthma...
time available...my schedule is pretty open, you name it, I can usually be there. You're the one who has a lot to do, so we can work with what you have available.
I'm off to beddie bye for now, meds are kicking in and I have some stuff to do tomorrow...
