thoreauToday was simply wonderful....
We started off with breakfast with Tom Kelly - and laughed our way through an always delicious breakfast at Stacks. then David and I wandered down to Nordstrom Rack to look at jackets. One of the most pleasing aspect of losing weight and getting back in shape - is shopping for MEDIUM jackets. Every jacket I own is big Bob large or extralarge - and I'm swimming in them... so off we went.
Here I am in my Missy Elliot jacket:
A bit Okay - it's way too fucking shiny and inflata-poofy; but the look on David's face when I asked to take a photo was priceless - him thinking that I was really considering it. priceless!
This second jacket had a style that appealed to me - it was simple - and fleece lined - but in retrospect looks a little too much like a UPS uniform jacket. but the kelly green and beigy white seemed awfully uninspired colour-wise - so the search for the perfect jacket continues.
we also walked through Bed Bath and Beyond - looking for bedding changes. I like my bed - but I'd like a pop of artsy color. I found the choices at BB&B a little uninspired - so we came home on the internet and found these sets on overstock.com:
We'll see.....

Date: 2008-09-14 12:32 am (UTC)I know that for me, finding both jackets and bedding that *grab* me can be a lengthy process ... both types of products seem to be either very wild/of-the-moment or deathly dull, with little in between. That said, overstock.com is my vote for finding good bedding at a great price.
Good luck!
