I’ve got my Love to keep my warm…and a whole bunch of warm gear…
I’ve got a thing for Northface. So do my kids…it’s a question of quality. They have had the same classic coats for years. Now that they aren’t growing anymore, it’s OK to keep them and wear them over and over…and fortunately with Northface’s classic appeal, they don’t mind.
Here are a few of our favorites…
$165. Everyone has one of these jackets. They are going on years 2 and 3. Well the Big Guy’s looks new because he won’t wear a jacket even in the coldest weather. I’m thinking his will last until he is ready to pass it on to his kids…
No he doesn’t have any…he’s 17, why what have you heard?
$60- perfect for outdoor winter workouts to keep you dry and …well, odor free. Oh, it’s for the girls, not me..
W BOULEVARD JACKET
$349, a little pricey, but worth it for the quality. OK, so I don’t own this next one, but I totally should. Really, is this North Face? I’m sure I like what I see here.
In the end, you will be glad you splurged on the quality. Maybe you can find a good deal after the holidays when they go on sale…or maybe it can be a great holiday gift. North Face rocks!
Like most people I really don’t function when I don’t sleep. Pregnancies did me in for that reason. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which when they explained everything to me, just meant, “you have horrible sleep patterns and it makes you feel like a train has hit you all the time”. Oh, joy…
Enter surgery. Hers, not mine.
I really thought she’d sleep. Alot.
I was wrong.
For some reason when you have your gallbladder out arthroscopically , you don’t have much pain in the stomach area, but your right shoulder hurts like a booger. We forgot to ask why. They warned us and it’s one of those things you think, “yeah, whatever, right shoulder? P’shaw..”
But that was the killer. And she couldn’t lay down or even recline a little to sleep. Thankfully we had enough Harry Potter movies to keep her happy. I propped and wedged, but whatever I did, she would lay there for a few minutes and then commence the whining, crying, agonizing. She had to get up and move around. I think I managed to get to bed at 4 the first 2 nights. Which would be fine if I didn’t have to get up and do for the others the following days…yeah, call me MOM.
You do weird things at 4am when you think you still can’t fall asleep. I decided I wanted my hair out of my face. So I cut bangs. I must have been dreaming about the bangs College Girl cut before her surgery. Only I wasn’t sleepwalking. I was very much awake. OK, maybe delirious is a better word.
Here’s the thing. I really shouldn’t can’t cut hair.
But I was in such a state that I didn’t care until yesterday. I looked in the mirror and thought “WTF have I done?” “And why hasn’t anyone noticed or said anything?”
What should have looked like this
Was looking a little like this….
And could soon look like this….
…if I tried to fix it myself. I needed professional help…quick…
I couldn’t go to my regular girl. I’d die of embarassment. So I picked someone obscure out of the phone book and had them do their magic. Only they weren’t as magical as I wanted. But it looks like a normal haircut…again.
Moral to the story is. Don’t deprive Linda of her sleep. It is a dangerous thing. We won’t be using any new head shots until we figure out the styling of this whole mess…or we’ll photoshop MacGyver in my place…that’s be cool…and might teach me a lesson…
