my missionaries in a foreign field

[minkhollow]

I keep thinking 'wait, where the hell did February go?' But, oh yeah, vacation to Hartford in the middle. Vacations will do that. It was a vacation of epic win all around (other than the leaving part, but that's standard) - and, oddly, a vacation of talking to awesome people on the planes.
Random observation from said: It's funny how changing your daily coat, even if you change absolutely nothing else about how you're dressing, can make you feel a lot different. I put away my kinda-biker-jacket thing in favor of my wool coat, since there were several points on vacation where I needed to look Respectable; I have yet to get the jacket back out. I feel a lot more grown-up, which is a Good Thing, I think.
Random observation from work: People write the weirdest things on 'try me!' pads for pens (oddly, if one person writes 'try me!' others will also write 'try me!'). Yesterday's winner, in two different handwritings:
Jesus <-- Tommy Peacock?
(And finally, I am perhaps far too amused by the keywords I gave this icon.)

The other thing is that February's so short. <3.

Told you clothes make a difference.

Last year it certainly seemed to drag on forever.
::hugs:: That you did.

I need to find a respectable coat. They're important things. Where did you find yours?

[minkhollow]

I got it at Kohl's a couple years ago, and mostly used it as my 'it's winter and I have an interview' coat up to now. Respectable coats are a big investment, but I think it was worthwhile.

I know, I used to have a great leather jacket but I kind of wore it down. So I've been on the lookout as I'm heading into interview land.

Oddly enough *threadjump!* trying department stores after the cold weather season (like, oh, nowish, or halfway into March) can net you some awesome deals. I've seen things for as much as 75% off.

So, yeah. Good luck.

Thanks, now I just need to figure out where the department stores are here.
