The white face of the winter day came sluggishly on...

It may not technically be winter yet, but lately it's been positively freezing and raining and all kinds of nonsense (which is nice because I've mostly been curled up inside, knitting and watching Buffy).

I don't know if this counts as an outfit photo-- I think it's more of the "look at my pretty new coat!' variety. The day before Thanksgiving we went to a 50% off thrift sale and I picked up lots of good things, this purple scarf being one of them. The coat was from another thrift shop and only $9. And it has a hood! I don't think I own anything else with a hood. Not a bad experience for my first time thrifting here. I've said it before, but I have such a thing for vintage children's coats.

Thanksgiving was excellent. It was our first time cooking a Thanksgiving meal on our own, and we pulled it off! And there was snow! Actually it was more of a snow/rain/ice mixture but it doesn't matter, it's November and there was snow and that's exciting. I was thankful for my family and friends and dogs and the fact that I didn't have to work retail on Black Friday this year.

This morning we braved a few of the sales (not crazy early, just around eight/nine a.m.) and things were mercifully calm. We kept shouting "DOORBUSTERS!" at each other because those commercials are so ridiculous.
