Veni, Vidi, Vici Har Mar Mall. I managed to find the mall last night and make my way back home, all on the bus. I still want a car, since the bus still takes forever to get me from point A to point B, but it's good to remind myself that I can get beyond my usual circle.
I did not find a dress, which was my original reason for seeking out a mall, but a conversation with Jane has convinced me that fancy is not the way to go. So I'll raid my closet tonight to find something more appropriately festive. What I did find while I was out was a waterproof coat with a hood for cheap. Score.
When I moved to MN, I came woefully unprepared for the winter. Luckily the winter was unseasonably mild (just like this summer has been unseasonable warm and unseasonably short on mosquitoes - I think I'm getting spoiled). I was able to make do with a couple of pairs of regular boots and a dressy wool coat that is also very warm. But I knew that what I had would not cut it for the next winter. I'll need actual snow boots and a real snow jacket. But with this new mid-weight coat, I can continue to ignore this problem and hope it goes away. That works, right?
*Har Mar Superstar is the name of a local Twin Cities Musician. I just like the way it sounds.
