I bought a new coat today and I just cannot resist telling you all about it! Living in Nampa as I do now, it tends to get real cold. I had a jacket at my parent’s house I really wanted to bring back, but my sister’s cat peed all over it which kinda ruined my enthusiasm over the jacket. I really like the jacket, but at the time I did not have the money to get it cleaned so I left it home. It has been pretty cold here in Nampa lately(though that may be because I came from 80 degree temps in Hawaii!) and since I only had a sweatshirt, and I have to walk around outside a lot, I figured I should get myself a jacket. A buddy of mine here, Josh, has a really nice winter jacket so I went hunting for one similar to his. I had to travel all over town to many shops to find one, but I finally did. It is a Columbia Bugaboo. They are expensive jackets too! Part of the reason I am writing this is cause I am so excited about the deal that I got. The jacket was normally $230, but was on sale for $170. Because I spent over $100 I was eligible for the special discount they are doing now and it dropped down to $110!!!! That is the absolute most I have ever spent on a jacket, but it was worth every penny. This jacket is so warm and toasty that I could go lay in the snow and be warm.

Now I may need to buy some pants with my upper half being so warm…….
