The tale of three coats

I don't know why I'm even writing this- it's just that every time I see my reflection I keep thinking about this and it's driving me nuts!!!!!

Fall of 2006, I saved up some money to buy myself a winter coat- I had gotten a new one the year before, but it was a pale pink puffy coat that wasn't very warm and made me look like a preschooler.

So I looked in all of the stores in Mountain Home (not many to choose from), and finally found one at Goody's (which is funny, cause now I avoid that store like the plague...once you have worked somewhere, you don't enjoy going there for fun). It was a dark grey double-breasted peacoat with a wide lapel and a matching scarf. It was wool, and completely lined, and absolutely perfect. And it was also quite expensive but I bought it on Friends and Family Night, so it was on sale :)

When we moved to Jonesboro in summer of 2007, I stored it at Joe's parents house. Winter came; I looked for it but couldn't find it. I haven't been able to find it since! It's so sad. So last year wore my pink puffy coat and this year I have a hand-me-down blue puffy coat. Basically I look like a marshmallow shaped preschooler. I am planning a day when we are in MH over break that I can spend tearing the storage shed apart until I find my coat.

Oh, and at work we are doing Secret Santa. Guess whose name I drew?!?! Yeah. My boss. Awesome. Not sure what I'm gonna do about that, but it's a $5 limit so I'm sure I can find a little something, somewhere...hmm.

Can't wait for Finals week to get over!!!!!! YEEHAW! I can almost taste the sweet smell of FREEDOM! :)
