I don’t think I ever mentioned my coat situation. Last winter I bought a parka from Abercrombie and after a little while the zipper started coming apart at the bottom when I would bend down to pick up the kids. I just decided to deal with it and use the buttons instead. Well a couple of weeks ago I went somewhere by myself so I zipped it. It opened from the bottom and got stuck. As I was fighting it the bottom piece came off. I emailed A&F (I still had the order number in an email) and they refunded my money! So now I’m in the market for a new coat, and I may try to get a new zipper put on the one I have. I found a puffer not made with down so thats the one I got for a casual coat. But I still want a pea coat, but finding one not made from wool is proving difficult.

peachsmama, I was worried about her being bored with us being a hunting breed but apparently she was screened by FEMA to be a rescue hound and she failed the test. She wants to live a lazy life and we can provide that.

I am mixed on if I want it to work out or not. If they can accommodate our trip, then it's meant to be. If not then it isn't.

E woke at 558 and refused to watch more than 1 episode of tv. MH took him to the lobby to run. I then bundled up and he and I are at DD and he is doing ballerina spins.

peachsmama , I was worried about her being bored with us being a hunting breed but apparently she was screened by FEMA to be a rescue hound and she failed the test. She wants to live a lazy life and we can provide that. I have a good feeling. I think that even more solidifies that it's meant to be. How old did you say she was?

Hoping the dog situation works out for you, wedding! What kind of car are you shopping for? joelies, $150 to take in a coat?! That seems exorbitant to me. The H has errands to run as do I, so I think we're going to combine our efforts. I have job application I'd like to make progress on today as well. The day is getting busier by the hour.

And omg. I love her! I love that they call her a toe warmer, thats so cute.

I don’t think I ever mentioned my coat situation. Last winter I bought a parka from Abercrombie and after a little while the zipper started coming apart at the bottom when I would bend down to pick up the kids. I just decided to deal with it and use the buttons instead. Well a couple of weeks ago I went somewhere by myself so I zipped it. It opened from the bottom and got stuck. As I was fighting it the bottom piece came off. I emailed A&F (I still had the order number in an email) and they refunded my money! So now I’m in the market for a new coat, and I may try to get a new zipper put on the one I have. Reading about Abercrombie made me feel old. I haven't shopped there in forever.

I hadn’t either but they seem to be making a comeback. A YouTuber and a few bloggers I follow have been shopping there. They actually closed the Abercrombie and hollister in our mall here a few years ago.

wineallthetime not that it really matters but yes, you could go in and put in an application but the managers were also required to recruit so many people a month by their higher ups. I worked at hollister a lot longer and while there were some snobby people, there were a lot of just regular people too. I worked there at the same time as Chelsea from teen mom briefly. Their sales people are called “models” and the backroom/stock people (which is what I did) are called “brand reps”. They paid shitty and didn’t have a super great discount.

My birthstone rings finally came! Even though I tried one on (wrong stone), they’re a little on the small side, boo. All the more reason to loose 30 pounds 😞.
ETA they are pretty though.

That's so annoying! Good motivator though! I was considering getting my wedding rings resized since they were tight. Then I lost 30lb and they fit great again!

Is anybody else happy that there’s a new season ‘mad about you’ returning to television?! Mad about you, like the Paul Reiser show? I used to love that show! I haven't heard about this. I have watched the new Will and Grace, and am looking forward to the new Roseanne... I'll have to look into this! ETA, I see this has been covered since I posted

It has a weird sentimental value for, besides the fact that I always thought it was genuinely funny.

wedding - I was just reading consumer reports yesterday (I am not in the market for a new car, just a geek who likes to read reviews). Anyway, that car was totally top rated!!

tgrimes , I didn't get to post much the past few days, but I've been thinking about your nephew. I'm so sorry your family is going through this, and I hope the doctors figure out how to get him better.
