Win Some, Lose Some.

Today was up and down.

Slept in until noon. Wonderful, lovely sleep. Ryan made us both a yummy breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast. We got showered and dressed and ready and headed out for our day.

The main purpose of the day was to get Ryan a winter coat. BJ got one yesterday at Burlington Coat Factory that is lovely, and this gave us high hopes, as BJ is almost exactly the same size as Ryan. However, troubles abounded--coats that fit him were too big and draped his frame, while one size down would be way too small. As is the way of things, he happened on a coat that he fell in love with, but the largest it came in was XXL, which was too small. We gave up and left, feeling discouraged.

Went to Starbucks and got ourselves some drinks (and said hi to my peeps :D), did some quick grocery shopping, went home and watched Good Eats. We then remembered our other goal for the day: getting new pictures of me in my new coat, hat, necklace, and earrings. We ended up going to the park, where Ryan got some good pictures of me, as well as many lovely pictures of the park itself.

Finally, for the day, was my NaNoWriMo South Bend meet-up. It was...okay. The Municipal Liaison for the area, Jessica, is a really great person, very upbeat and cheerful and fun. There were a few people who tended to dominate the conversation, which made getting to know everyone and actually talk about NaNo a little difficult. C'est la vie, I shall definitely be attending other write-ins and meet ups and doing my best to stay connected with everyone. :)

And now, I have to get up on the early side to do the laundry I never did today, and so--to bed!
