The Vest
My Favorite Vest
Oh, how I wanted to give you something really fun in this Hopscotch, but I am knee deep in homework. Wednesday Bible study homework, Thursday Bible study homework, college homework, and house work (which literally means I’m buried in dog hair!). In school I am taking a class on Daniel and Revelation, and it really has my attention. The dog hair, not so much my attention, but my disgust. The only thing I really have for you is this: In a world where everyone is offended by everything, I had to find some humor. I was shopping with Cha-Chi in a department store looking for a black winter vest. The one I have worn for the past ten years disappeared and I miss it. We looked in the ladies’ coat department but no luck. Then she suggested we look in the ‘women’s’ section because I’m not a skinny-mini. I just had to wonder, why is the women’s section its own section? All of a sudden I felt discriminated against because I’m (deep breath, slump of my shoulders) fat. I am offended. I am offended that women and ladies are different. Ok, well eye-roll city. Can you sense my sarcasm? I’m not offended, I really don’t care. I also guess there are probably some pretty good reasons. Either way, it made me laugh. Still no black vest. If you happen to see a black-insulated, Woolrich vest in a size 2X, manufactured before 2009, let me know because winter just isn’t going to be the same without it!
