Tennis shoes in the snow, a big NO!




So we got about 3 inches of snow on Friday. Real snow, the kind that sticks. So I had my first walk home in the snow. It was pretty bad...lets see I almost fell 3 times. Once in the subway because my tennis shoes were wet, and twice on the walk home. The last thing a big girl needs to do is bust her ass in the NYC subway or on the streets of Jersey City. Needless to say I came home got online and ordered some snow boots. I must admit though even though I almost busted ass a few times, I LOVE THE SNOW!!!

So the next morning I was watching the news and we were suppose to get more snow on Sunday so I bundled up and headed out to do my errands on Saturday. Typically Sunday is my grocery day but I was afraid I really wouldn't know how to travel in 6 inches of snow, figured 3 inches was safer. Some of the sidewalks were still full of snow so you will just have to imagine me and my cart trumping through the snow. It was a sight to see if I do say so myself but I made it back safe and sound no problems. My arms did get their work out for the day hauling that cart up on the snow filled curbs.
Just a small note, we had our company Christmas party on Friday nothing too fancy appetizers, wine and beer. So y'all all know I had to have me a Heineken. So I was mingling and what does the VP say to me..."Beer and snow, what more could you ask for" Yet another reason love Foot Locker.
