still wibbling

Still wibbling over that coat. I probably won’t buy it, but I put it in my shopping basket so I could pretend, precioussss. (And aww, jeez, they have the beautiful geometry skirt in a blue which, if it is accurately represented, is pretty much my favorite shade. But what the bloody hell would I do with a dramatic sateen skirt?) Today was at least nominally a good writing day. I got about 3700 words done, and I think most of them are the right words.

aw, man

Aw, man, that awesome velvet frock coat is on sale and available in my size. Well, if I was a bit thinner it’d be in my size, anyway. *wants*

It is perhaps not morally superior, what with not going out and supporting the local economy, but *damn* it is nice and efficient to do Christmas shopping on Amazon. *dusts hands* Ted has made truffles. Truly sinful rich chocolately amazing deadly truffles. I ate one. I might not be able to eat more. My gawd. He ran out of chocolate to dip them in, so the last few are going to be rolled in toffee as soon as I make the toffee. *ded* And! Jackie Kessler, writer extraordinare, has done…
