Ha ha remember that time I bought a coat and forgot to bring it to Stockholm

April 12, 2017

The Captain and I had been in the car for about 40 minutes already (read: 12 miles of winding canyon roads through the hills of Los Angeles) and we were just minutes away from LAX when I decided to check the weather in Stockholm.

“Look,” I said. “It’s snow flurries!! I am so excited OH WAIT OH MY GOD NOOOOOOO I FORGOT MY COAT.”

“What?” He said. His expression was incredulity mixed with terror.

You see, I bought this coat special for this trip. I have been so excited about this dumb coat. I got it online in some shopper-died-and-went-to-heaven sale at Macy’s plus I had a coupon plus I had a promo code and did I mention it is furry and deep purple and has a fuzzy hood? It’s like wearing a muppet. It’s insanely cute. I have talked about how happy I am to wear my purple Fozzy Bear coat for two weeks straight. We don’t get to wear coats in Los Angeles. Coat weather is a thing we dream about.

And that coat of dreams is hanging up in the hall closet at home, which at rushtime in Los Angeles might as well be located in Utah.

The Captain handled the whole thing really well (“the whole thing” was me going into one of those silent spirals where you can’t decide if you are angry, about to cry, or just being a dumbass.) Anyway, we made it to the airport and he promptly got me into the lounge and had a fruity vodka drink in my hand in no time flat.  I believe we have agreed to never speak of this again.

I packed a thin zipper jacket in my bag but if I die from frostbite in the wild tundra of Sweden someone please go to my house and get that furry jacket. It is too cute to never see anything but the inside of the hall closet.

Starting to take some of the improvements from the guest room and add them to my bedroom, like this cool power outlet for the bedside table. I’m hoping it helps with the constant problem of needing to charge all devices simultaneously.


Still obsessing over Sew Over It and Lisa Comfort, the lady boss behind it all. Here is her site, YouTube vlog, and Insta. I bought pretty much every pattern they have during the recent 30% off sale.


Currently reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I need this book to help me but I don’t have enough time to read this book because I’m working nonstop, so…


Interested in these silica gel packets for my yarn stash. Does anyone out there add these to ziplock baggies of yarn?

Find and follow your passion is a load of crap.

Expecting to find something where everything clicks from the get go and is all good from there on out is a surefire way to never be happy.

Pursue your interests. Stay curious. Hone a craft. Passion emerges over years, not seconds.
