an admission

I'm a planner of sorts. I like being organised about 'some' stuff. I'm not totally OCD as my bedroom last week and my kitchen would currently attest to. But I do love planning and researching stuff. Currently I am in the middle of planning for a holiday overseas next year when it will be super cold ie the dead of winter in Europe. I might also be going to China in January - once again winter cold. So this has meant that I have put my heart and soul into researching what coat will be the best to buy. You know being from the Sunshine State - we don't have much need for big winter jackets etc - so last year when we were in NYC - we noticed that everyone - I mean everyone , even the homeless guy begging for coins had on 'the north face' jackets - so obviously this is a great starting point. Well I look for North Face jackets every single night - I read reviews. I see how much they will cost me, and then last night I discovered you can also get boots - I mean it is important to keep your toes warm, so now I have 2 things I can research to death for the next 18 months...
