the jacket is unisex. i've had very similar red jackets that are clearly designed for women...
he
gave me the jacket, and i like it. it's pretty sharp looking. i like
the black; it looks good with blonde hair and red lipstick. i'm sort of a
beatnik. i haven't worn it yet, i was putting it aside as a fall
jacket. i was thinking it wouldn't be warm enough for winters in ottawa,
but it should be warm enough for winters in windsor.
so, i sort of want to keep it. however...
the
thing is i'm not really sure what she wants to do with it, either. if
she wants it because of the sentimentality, i'm sympathetic, but i think
it's better off being used than sitting in a closet (dad would
definitely agree with that). if she wants to wear it, i guess we can
talk about that and who thinks they would wear it more (it could be a
regular winter jacket for me in windsor). if she wants it for her
husband, i'm not sympathetic at all. he makes enough money to buy his
own clothes. i don't. i mean, by giving it back, i'm giving up something
that is very functional - a nice winter jacket that i'm not likely to
be able to replace.
now, about that voucher. i don't
want to fight about it, i just need to be able to plan accordingly. when
we were in the bedroom the other day, you told me you had a voucher at
sears and i could have it to get a couch. you didn't say how much it
was. i was surprised and appreciative, but said something along the
lines of that i'd take it in case i needed it for something else but i
could probably just get some couches on the curb. as it turns out, i
need at least a fridge (i'm still not sure if i need a stove or not).
fridges are the kind of thing i'd rather get new, if i can. now, it's
your voucher, so you get to decide what to do with it, but i just need
to know if i can plan around that or not.
