going back to jersey

[rootofnewt]

a friend of mine was once in a punk band and they had a song of that name...

yep, back in jersey.

went shopping with mum-in-law today... dragged boy along. we each got a winter coat (big sales). mine is wool and buttons down... no hood, but i always have a scarf, shawl, platok, babushka, etc. and boy has a nice long leather coat now. great for standing out in the cold waiting for the bus.

we desperately needed winter coats. well, not *too* desperately. i wasn't willing to get one that was the wrong color, texture, shape, size, or too ratty at goodwill. but neither of us really had a suitable coat anymore.

now we do. and we can pay mom back in pieces. well, big pieces. probably one now and one in two weeks.

happy happy. must get off this infernally slow line now.

Well, I made one of my friends *insanely* jealous last night...I scored a nice, soft leather skirt (NIIIIICE leather, I've seen not-as-nice ones sell for upwards of $80 easily) for $3.35. Yes, thats right, THREE DOLLARS and THIRTYFIVE cents! THe only caveat is the zipper is kablooey, but thats why I have a sewing machine, and the savvy skillz.

Are you proud of me or what? Im the Fetish budget princess of doom. Fear me.

You're not allergic to the wool coat??

I'm also jealous -- Wendy lined a leather thift-store coat with leopard fur (fake, obviously) and it looks better than new . . .

I'm suffering from apartment envy, anyway . . . her place was so damn *clean* and decorated *beautifully* . . .

My new phrase is, "I don't nest, I den" . . .

yes, allergic to it.

but the wool doesn't touch my skin much at all (lining is good)... especially not for prolonged periods. and it's not near my face.

i couldn't wear anything *else* for the winter. must have warmth.
