Copycat & A Shout Out

This will be a fairly short post.  I just wanted to publicly (you know, because I have TONNES of readers) thank my friend (LG) at work.  This morning we were talking about Fall jackets and I was complaining that I couldn't button mine up around my huge belly and that I was going to have to go and buy a new jacket for Fall.  I also wanted to buy one that was warmer because the one I have been wearing is getting a little cool in the mornings. 


She showed me the jacket she had just bought and the style was perfect for my body frame (especially the larger belly).  It also had a liner on the inside which would keep me nice and warm for those mornings at the bus stop when it is 5 degrees.  Brrr.  Oh, and it also had a hood - something that was lacking in my current jacket.  On those days where it is just raining lightly, it would be easier pulling the hood up then to yank out my umbrella!!


I told her how much I liked the jacket and semi-jokingly, I said "I may have to go out and buy one".  The kind individual that she is, she told me that if I did it wouldn't matter.  She would be okay with it.


Well, guess what I did last night?  Yup, you guessed it.  I was a complete copycat.  I was out shopping last night for a few things and I popped into the store that she got her jacket at and bought one.  The size was perfect, the price was right and it zipped up over my freakin' belly.


So, I would like to give a shout out to LG at work!!  Thank you for letting me buy the same jacket you have.  I am sorry but I really had to.  It was very necessary!  


Now I will go to work tomorrow morning with a nice, new jacket that I can zip up all the way (instead of only buttoning up the top two buttons) and I'll be perfectly warm at the bus stop too.  Thanks!
