It never fails...

Last year it was my boots.  This year it's my coat.  I went to zip up my parka this afternoon and the zipper slider broke.  (The zipper pull broke years ago - I have, much to childsplay7's chagrin, been using a paperclip for probably 3 years.  Before that I used a lucet cord until it broke.)  Why do my winter clothes always crap out on me right as the stores no longer have any winter stuff available?  I could have bought a new bikini, but not a coat.  Oh, and did I mention that the high today was 20?  Yeah, I definitely need a bikini right now...

Speaking of swimsuits, I did acquire a rasher suit for TRex - she always gets freezing cold in the pool.  I had intended to get one when I was at the gym today, but I realized when I fell up the stairs that my depth perception was not good enough for driving.  But when I was at Target this evening I found a rasher top with little shorts.  If we layer those over a regular suit, hopefully she'll stay warmer.

Speaking of shopping, there is a world of difference between going grocery shopping at 11 am with a two year old (and another grownup) and going shopping by yourself at 8 on a Friday night.  8 on Friday is downright peaceful.

i was recently told (jokingly) that the reason I'm not getting laid is because I'm using a safety pin as a zipper pull on one of my hoodies.

I, on the other hand, am, so I'm not sure that zipper pulls have anything to do with one's sex life.

Buy them books - send them to school - and still they use paper clips *sigh* *grin* You fell *up* the stairs????

Dude. My eyes were dilated. My depth perception was all shot to hell.
