Hmmm, is dating someone new sufficient reason to get yet another winter coat? I guess not.

YES! Yes it is, especially when you live here. Here's my suggestion for warmth with style and sass:

It's longer than a jacket, the filling is warm but thin so it doesn't make the wearer look bulky, and pulling up a hood can be cute and romantic! And it's Land's End, so it's good value for money.

Happy shopping ...

Lise you sound so happy!!
I am pleased to hear your elbow is feeling better. And yes, you definitely deserve a new jacket. Which did you have in mind?

[DirtDiva]

Lise - yay!

And on other matters...

OMG! I did it! I bought Darth. Ground temperatures all over the world have plummeted.

Whoa, Nelly! Congratulations!

No money left for a social life or anything else I might want for the next month (at least), but who cares about that! And when I do get back to my mtb, I'll be fast.

Please PM me, Lise! Can't help but be nosy after reading the little hints you've thrown out.......

Congrats, DirtD! Whoo-ee!

Love, absolutely LOVE your ee.cummings quote, CWR. So perfect for my time of life.

I saw snowflakes today. UGH!!! Nothing against snow, but NOT YET!! Couldn't we wait till December, at least? Not that it stuck, but still, the thought of snow. I actually brought the indoor trainer out for it's first session of the season. Not ready for that!

My kitty has a name............ drum roll, please................................
Houdini, the wonder cat! 'Cause he can get in and out of anywhere! As he's already proved to us. Poor little guy - in the time he was out wandering, he picked up fleas, ear mites, and roundworms. All treated at the vet today. So I can only imagine how feisty he'll be when he's totally healthy! Whoooo!!! He and the guinea pig have now met, face to face. Guinea pig in cage, cat clinging with claws to outside of cage, staring each other down. Cat backed of first, falling off the cage. Might as well let them get used to each other. I just wish I'd had the camera handy! Sometime.......

mimitabby - what did I miss about the pet shop?? And the cats??

Spent most of the evening working on my halloween costume. Fun! It's for a Halloween bike ride. The Pumpkin Ride in Preston, MN. Anyone else doing any costume rides? I LOVE halloween. My favorite holiday. No kids left to create costume for, so lucky I get to do it for me.

TD moves so fast! I'm not keeping up like I'd like to.

Dirt, that's cool about the new bike! Did you get the red one?

Annie- I'm glad the kitty is working out for you. I guess it hadn't sunk in you're up in Iowa. Did you get any of the snow?

Lise- I'm happy for you. He sounds wonderful.

My daughter called last night, crying inconsolably. All I heard was "amputation." Thank God it wasn't her son or husband, but it was her poor little Senegal Parrot, Prescious Roy, who had shredded his Happy Hut and then entangled his foot and hanged there with the circulation cut off till she found him. $750 surgery, but he survived, and the good news is instead of losing the leg, he may even have no toes but a partial foot left. She blames herself for not checking on him- but she could hear him during the time period, making normal noises and talking...Still- I understand how she feels.
