What would you call this garment?
It’s not anywhere dignified enough to be a sweater dress. It’s made of a jersey/sweatshirt material. It’s got a zipper halfway down the front, a hood, and I do believe that’s the most obnoxious color scheme ever. Teal? Aqua teal? Stripes? It’s like a train wreck of a clothing article. Wearing it with leggings confused the heck out of my male friends: “What … what IS that you’re wearing? Seriously, what is that thing called?”
Guys, I have no idea.
A girlfriend gave it to me because “I always think I can wear a child’s Large and, well, no, no, you should take it.” And I LOVE it. It’s so soft and comfortable, snug across the middle and arms, long enough to keep me warm to the knees and a hood! A hood to keep my head warm while snuggling into another volume of 100 Bullets or Terry Pratchett that I wanted to wear it all the time. I’d just pull on over anything I was wearing for another layer of cozy.
This has to be my most ridiculous, yet best loved, freebie of the year. What’s yours?

The nearly thousand page tome has arrived! I immediately started reading it the second I opened the box. Thank goodness I still live at home and have someone to tell me to go eat dinner; I’m so easily distracted by mail, and good mail at that.

It’s JLP’s fourth blogging birthday, and I get a present! I won JLP’s giveaway of the book on “The Genius that is Warren Buffet“: Alice Schroeder’s The Snowball – Warren Buffet and the Business of
Life.
*dancing a jig* I loved the quotes that JLP picked out, and am really looking forward to reading this book. Just when I was about to run out of new books to read!

BB recently received this book about the Nobel Peace prize winner who established a micro-lending bank 23 years ago. Apparently, he secured Yunus as a guest speaker for one of our conferences this year. I’ve been wanting to read this book for some time, and I casually asked him if he was planning to read the book, because I bet he won’t, really. He told me to take it and read up on it because I’ll likely get to meet him later this year. 8) (Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see.)
As soon as I compile my notes on my latest reading/study project, I’m diving into this one. Finally, my job provides some reading material that resonates with my personal interest! Or really, my self control’s all concentrated on other stuff, I may just start reading this now.
