Well I've finished getting my son's back to school clothes. It was much easier this time. Girls are easier to shop for than boys...there's more selection, for one thing. For him, I had to develop a style. I don't adhere to the notion that boys should dress badly and I hate that punky gangsta look, I really do. Not that you have to dress up to go to school (i.e. get beaten up by the other kids :) ) but you should have a style; you should look good.
It's the end of summer here too in that you can feel it. At first I felt sad. I hate cold weather and darkness. Additionally it's not like the South. You don't have this grueling, laborious, protracted and sweaty mess they call summer. (Pronounced "summah.") As the character says in The Great Gatsby, everything starts over again when it gets crisp in the Fall. (I'm paraphrasing here; I lost my copy.) That is when the Fall is liberating. Here it's just sort of tinged with sadness.
My canadienne :) is longer...if it's the same thing. It's not full length but it's below the knee. It's the warmest coat I have. I have an army coat too (lined). Yes, I wear an army coat. I like military style clothes once in a while.
I need socks. Costco stopped carrying the ones I normally buy. Fooey. I can get some at Target or Old Navy. Target is 2 pairs for $5 (made in Korea, good quality). I'm not sure about Old Navy.
