If today is Friday, why isn't tomorrow Saturday?!
Aside from a few frustrations, today was a good day. I got to work early enough that I had time to hit Goodwill (Goodwill/payday = bad combination!), and I found an awesome coat. It's a brown-olive 100% wool Italian double-breasted full length coat, definitely trench coat-inspired. $25.99, which was kind of OUCH, but it's a *really* sweet coat. I MUST find a way to get pix! Also got a strand of hematite beads loosely strung on elastic---I will have NO problem recycling them into a cool piece.
Keeping a straight face was problematic at times, because I've found out a few things about the John/Mary story, and it's kept me amused. (Of course, I'm going to have to do some research about the year 1976...I was in high school back in those days; my memory leans more toward fads than specific news stories; that was the Bicentennial, and you couldn't turn around without tripping over red-white-and-blue something.) Following where the bunnies lead is so much fun---once they've gotten my attention, they have a tendency to bolt off on tangents I didn't expect, which is happening here. *smirk*
Also got totally pwned by a caller just before I left---she was interested in a garment from Pelts Leathermore (I can't tell you their real name, sorry!), and while I was looking the style info up, she mentioned that she'd been watching the news. Had I heard about the Pope? (No, ma'am. What about the Pope...?) He's quite ill with bird flu. (Oh dear, how unfortunate---but I'm sure he has the best doctors.) Yes, they've been studying his case, and they think he got it from a cardinal.
Ba-dum-boom....
Life is good!
