All them pitch words, so they say

My weaponry is words, Doe-Ray-Me

The war's in the form of po-et-ry

So it's straight C-4 from the thoughts I bring

     Wale, Wordplay

People, the world is becoming dangerous. Well, it's always been dangerous, but

now I'm experiencing it and it's not cool. While on the way to the dog park (the

location of these photos) Kobe and I were almost hit by a bus! Not paying attention

and running through a red light, the bus stopped just a mere foot from my pup! For

any non-Ottawans out there, OC Transpo bus drivers are notorious for being a

tad, let's say, loco. This is also the third time this week I've almost been hit. Is the

universe trying to say something?! My fear is warranted though, last Wednesday

three pedestrians were hit by cars, one of the accidents happening three blocks

   from my home. Going out has now become a real-life game of Frogger. Game on. 

So now is the time that I don wool every day. It cuts the cold like no other. I was

able to get away with not wearing a coat yesterday despite the chill due to wool. It's

become quite the obsession though. Move over Paul, I've got my wool to keep me

warm! Okay, maybe an unhealthy obsession...I washed a wool sweater yesterday

and I completely understand why people find it a hassle - it took half an hour to

hand wash it and it took forever to dry! I've ruined plenty of sweaters from not

paying attention to the rules of washing. Boo. Wool can be tricky too, if the sweater

is cheap I find it tends to be itchy; for example, my Tahari wool sweater is the sofest

thing ever, whereas I need to wear a long-sleeve underneath my Old Navy wool

sweater. And what is your verdict, ladies? Are you and wool the best of friends in

the cold months or do you veer away from it due to it's sensitivity? I'd like to know!
