Day 42: Ski Jacket

This ski jacket was a score for me -- it was only $14.99 on end-of-season clearance at American Eagle. I loved the bright red because it made it easier for George to find me when I was lagging 400 feet behind him on the mountain. (I'm a very careful skier.)

My "ski pants" of choice were jeans over leggings, which is not the most waterproof option. And suffice to say my skill level necessitates waterproof pants. So I finally decided to invest in some real ski pants a few years ago, and while shopping for those, I found a matching ski jacket that was warm and cute (remember my jacket problem?).

So, I haven't worn this one since I bought the new one. Check out the ski tag to see how long it's been sitting in my closet.

DESTINATION: St Paul's.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
