snow shoes

Ah, yay... It's only early December and the snow is already piling up outside. Soon, I'm sure, it will cover most of the sliding glass door at the back of our apartment. Worse still is my shoe dilemma. After six years living in Wisconsin I haven't purchased a pair of boots for trekking through the snow. Well, no, that's a lie actually. I do have one pair. But they're from back when I was volunteering at habitat and they're more like construction boots than snow wear. They're made of industrial-strength rubber or something and make my feet look twice as big as they already are. They also take off my socks when I walk. Honestly though, the real reason I don't wear them is that they look a little ghetto, though it is a wierd sensation to be sockless in a pair of insulated work boots. So I guess its time to brave the outside in my sneakers. By the end of the day I'm sure it will feel like walking around with my feet in buckets full of snow. Steeling myself for this task isn't easy. Here we go. Upsy daisy. Picture the cup of tea later. That's right. You can do it...
