regarding my passport, i finally got a straight answer about the lack of an entry stamp in finland. there are no passport checks w/in the schengen area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement), which includes germany, finland, sweden, denmark, & norway - & others. so, that's why my passport was stamped in munich, but not in helsinki (since i had arrived into finland from another schengen country). really, the u.s. embassy should have known this & told me; they have been utterly disappointing.
when shopping for a coat, the other concern was that i was going to look like a big ol' puffy marshmallow & that look just doesn't become me. i do look like a marshmallow in my new coats, but not a big ol' marshmallow (& still cute to boot!....keehehehehe)...random, i know, but it was supposed to be included in the section about my coat (i'm really excited about my new coats, can you tell?)
i just updated my settings again to eliminate the "code word" requirement when posting comments. now, i'll just see how many "spam" comments i get. :D
i'm sure there are other things i meant to write about as well, but i've forgotten.....

Haha, marshmallow coat girl. I like your coat (the one in the picture). And the mallards are surprising, although they are still here too, but we don't have snow right now.
