    I bought some chips this weekend. I just eat them while standing in front of the window, so I'm sure that's a sight.
    I planned ahead this season so I have a nice pair of sweaters that I wear when it's particularly cold out. I even bought a pair of joggers to lounge around the house in so I look the part, ha ha!

    Guhh, I couldn't imagine having to work three jobs at once. Just one full time with some side project obligations were enough for me. //holds up her hands in defense

    Oh, that one tripped me up a bit. //mumbles to herself, untangling her fingers
    @Wildfire: ha ha!
    I know, right? I was spending time in a more Southern area and it happens to rain a lot during the winter. I grew up in the north so just out of habit when I saw some reflection on the sidewalk I was bracing my body to slide on ice.

    @Wildfire: It has to be marketed somewhere. Or perhaps there's a brand of sweet soda water out there somewhere. I've come across some really interesting drinks before but I couldn't tell you the name if my life depended on it.

    Wool is always handy if you happen to be traveling somewhere cold--especially if it's in the winter seasons. But if there's no use for it and you don't foresee yourself wearing it, then perhaps you'll have to let it go. That's such a shame, though! Overcoats here are very popular among people in the city. It's just that quintessential look, really. Maybe you'll go on a cold seafaring trip one day and need it!

    Are we all using heating pads these days? I was just laying on one last night myself. I splurged and bought a new one and I'm quite fond of it! It has a timing function, and ten different heat levels--I've only been able to withstand a 6 or a 7; I can't imagine the magma of a 10. It's completely encased in a soft outside and it's still has a lot of movement when it's not heated. My last one was this incredibly cheap one that had a thin pillow-case like cover. On the plus side, you could wash the cover easily, but the downside was that the pad was inflexible, a single temperature, and had a tendency to unclip from power easily.

    Ah, I also accidentally burned myself with the old one. I hadn't even realized until my partner saw me in the washroom with these lines across my back like I had laid down on a barbecue grate. It didn't hurt, I think I just caused some blistering on the surface like the blood vessels got too hot.
    The first time I was in a place like that with palm trees and beaches in the winter, it threw me for a loop. I had so much trouble adjusting!

    Don't get me wrong, I don't miss shoveling, but I don't mind a little dusting of snow.

    I don't mind it too much. Not that I'd mind if the items were the typical red-green-and-white santa hats and candy canes, but it's kind of nice not to have those holiday items colored in such a tacky scheme.
    Good luck with helping your friend.

    Ohh, an overcoat? I have one that I...*borrowed* from a sibling. To be fair, they left town so I adopted it. If you add a pretty or unique brooch, and maybe lint roll it or even give it a rit dye splash, you're set.

    I've nothing against junk food per se but it's expensive these days (what isn't). I used to eat fast food often when I was injured because it was the easiest and fastest way to get a lot of calories without much effort. My partner likes sweet tea and soda, but oddly not the bubbles associated with them. I think if they made a bottle of flat syrup water, they would be all over it.

    Whatever works.
    There's still some time to spend time here.

    I don't mind junk food and saccharine sweets but I didn't grow up on it so it's not something I crave as often. I was always in awe of people in school who could eat fast food every day for every meal--partly in respect to the affordability of it (which it turns out, they couldn't really afford it) and partly with respect to how crummy you can feel after a few days of that diet.

    I so much as look sideways at a milkshake and I will get a zit.
