And then there was me.

I could be the only one in the office. I am the only one in this particular area today. I've seen a few others, but they could have all left by now. Obviously the day before Thanksgiving it a big go-home-see-family thing so it's more than slow. It's dead here.

To amuse myself (because I did see this coming) I've brought in a pile of the catalogs that showed up at my house yesterday. When I first moved I was frantic about getting the address changed because I really like my catalogs, they're like free magazines, and I have a thing for free. Well word has definitely gotten out and I probably receive every catalog that is put through a print press and mass-distributed.

Some catalogs are things I buy, and some are tangents from that. I have a yoga catalog I look at when I 'm stressed, I swear it helps. I also have a bunch of different out-doorsy things, which is what I seem to have here. Well, it's LL.Bean Outdoor. I didn't realize there were delineations, but aparently so. I also have REI and Title Nine, all very outdoor oriented.

Looking through these makes me realize how un-outdoorsy I am. I like the outdoors and all, but I have no need for this camp cookwear set, headlamp, knee hieght snow protective boots, or sleeping bag for temperatures below negative 20 degrees. Snowshoes? Not so much. I used to live around Syracuse, so I know what that can be like, but really, it's not so much a part of my life here. I'm not sure how I feel about not needing winter boots, ski jackets, sleds, ski equipment, car racks, winter car mats, long underware, fleece socks or fleece lined anything. Once I bought a pair of khaki's lined with fleece. I wore them to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was not cold. Outside in NYC for over 4 hours, not cold. Unfortunately that's where the use of those pants came to a screeching hault. You could NOT wear them inside without literal sweat being drawn onto your legs. Ew.

I mean how many people actually NEED a canteen?
