I found this $180 Primaloft-insulated mid-weight REI jacket for $83. Now I just have to fight Luke for it. (He looks "ready to rumble." Grrrrr!)
I don't understand clothes merchandising. Here it is barely a week into winter, there is still snow on the ground from last Tuesday's storm, and already stores are clearing out their winter stuff and making room for....what....summer shorts and t-shirts? It seems like they start earlier and earlier every year trying to sell us the upcoming season's styles. I'm thinking someday they'll actually get ahead of themselves a full 12 months and put next winter's stuff on sale at the start of this winter.

My banana pudding is in demand again....by ME! I took a huge bowl of BP I made to the in-laws for (part of) our Christmas dinner dessert, and as we left K said, "Y'all just keep the rest and enjoy it." DOH! I got one modest-size bowl for all my effort.
This afternoon we're going to have Christmas with two of my daughters who live in the area and grandkids Parker and Blakely, plus grand-daughter Reese still "in the oven". I made another banana pudding to share with the family, with the understanding I'm bringing back at least some of what's left over. I mean, one serving is just a teaser!

'Tis the best of times....it's college football bowl season....and the worst of times....after January 7th I won't have any more NCAA football for eight months. Oh, the horror!
So far we've only had some of the minor bowl games like the Boudreaux's Butt Paste* Bowl (or something like that) where my Texas Tech Red Raiders lucked out and beat Minnesota as the clock ran out. Hey, it's still a "W"....I'll take it.
Now I'm gonna go check the newspaper to see which NFL players added to their police rap sheets over the weekend.
Y'all have a nice Sunday.

*Yes, there really is such a product. (I don't make this stuff up, folks. Well, not most of it.)
