New Coat

I bought a new coat today. Eggplant, lined wool, narrow shoulders, wide hem, and a fur-lined hood. How much do I love it? Enough to ignore the fur-lined hood. It was half price, plus that fox should die for all the chickens he probably killed. Save the chickens! I am pro-chicken. Plus he was an eggplant colored fox, how high was the quality of his life anyway? Ha ha? I feel guilty.

Anyway, I had plans to soothe my guilt. When I got to the mall I looked for a parking spot for fifteen minutes when a lady on her way out waved and encouraged me to follow her to her car. I planned to do the same for someone else. Sadly, when I stepped out of the mall no one was around. I fished my keys out of my purse. Still no one. I set off for my car anyway.

I noticed it smelled just lovely outside. Very fresh, very clean. Then I thought, maybe it’s the coat. Do they do that at Nordstroms? Spray a coat with perfume after they sell it? I sniffed the coat. It smelled more nuanced than perfume. It smelled like someone with powder had tried it on before.Maybe? Pretty, anyway.

When I got into the car I thought, wow, you can really smell the coat when you’re in the car.

Then I took my cell phone out of my purse. My cell phone really smelled good! In fact my whole purse smelled like …

Yes. I must have unscrewed the top when I got my keys. However, if I ever need to poop in my purse no one will EVER know.
