I can't believe how cold it's gotten here. I'm so glad I packed a jacket and a hoodie... and even more glad that I keep some winter gloves and a scarf in my car's 12-hour kit (once the temperatures drop below about 50, I *have* to wear a scarf over my face or I'm guaranteed to get bronchitis). Because of the sudden cold snap, I went out today and bought two pairs of pants, since all I'd brought with me were capris (technically, this is because they're all I own that currently fit and they're already getting baggy... a few more weeks and I wouldn't have been wearing them anyway). Had a funny moment where I went to try on some jeans and automatically grabbed an XL pair, then on a whim picked up an L pair as well. Guess which ones I bought! :-) And I'm beginning to think I should have tried on a Medium pair... I've been wearing these all day and they're actually pretty baggy, as well. Wow. I'm also going to have to retire some of the shirts I brought with me, they're getting so big on me now they're almost not wearable. I still can't believe how well the weight-loss is going!

The snow today fell for about an hour but never stuck to the ground... although my mom says that they're practically having a blizzard over in northeastern Oregon. Definitely NOT looking forward to potentially driving through the Blue Mountains with snow on the ground. Speaking of which, they're predicting anywhere from 1-6" accumulation here this weekend. I still can't believe it. Apparently, this isn't bizarrely early for here, but it's still not a common time of year for it to start.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to start working on the pattern pieces for my Halloween costume. I've gotten some great ideas from [livejournal.com profile] drhorribledress, so hopefully I can pull this off with a minimal amount of frustration. I think I may have enough time to do a mockup in cheap fabric first, to make sure I'm getting it right.
