this snow is so nice, but sliding around on ice is *not*. i was afraid of wearing out my elfBoots too quickly, as i love to wear them so much, but i will never never never wear them again this winter unless it is perfectly dry out. UGH. they are so slippery. but i did not bust my ass. and i am so in love with my black Lands End parka, that i put off buying for two years, because i was afraid the fabric would be too scritchy and noisy. last year i just decided to give it a try after having horrid luck with finding a dreamParka and i was so tired of wearing my big soft oldMan’s coat with the holes in the pockets. the LE parka has the softest gray fleece inside, it is light, the fabric is waterproof, there are tons of pockets and it hardly scritches at all. it is cozy but not claustrophobic. i love wearing it!
thank you all for your nice comments and suggestions re: the Hertz thing. i really appreciate the support so much. the nightmare is not over, but i am trying to maintain a less panicked attitude. i don’t really believe in pulling out the guns and lawyers right away, i prefer to start on a human-to-human basis. so i am still in that mode, awaiting a promised refund, hoping he didn’t just say that to get me off his back for a bit. i am still carefully documenting each event and will use that document if i have to. mostly i just want it to be over with. negative confrontations gnaw me in a horrid way.
this weekend i am going to be at the artTable. DEFINITELY. i can’t wait.
and there are also many many new pretties in my ETSY shop. if you would like me to ship something to a friend for a gift, i will include a gift card for them *and* will also send YOU a gift! hey. i think i will go write that on my front page right now!
