Wow, I had doubts about this so-called blizzard. I went to Duane Reade for provisions when the snow started yesterday afternoon. I called my roommate who was stuck in DC for a day and was trying to get back to NYC before this storm hit. I asked her if she needed anything since it was snowing and I didn’t plan on going out. She requested some Fresca, which was readily available at the store. I told her that it was snowing. At this point she had already made it to Newark and was trying to make it back to NY. She arrived at 5pm and told me that I totally exaggerated how bad the snow was! Anyhow, we went out later that night to have some delicious desserts at Serendipidity 3. We were lucky to find a cab back. It was getting STORMY! We came home and went to bed.
We woke up with a blanket of snow. I decided I’d go see just how much snow there was and go to the gym since I figured no one would be going outside today. What a mistake! There were so many people at the gym. I assume they were thinking just like me, but I guess it was worth it. I had to lug my heavy Doc Martens through the snow, but there really would be no other way I could have walked to the gym without slipping.
I came back home and Lynne was ready to “play” in the snow. By this time, the storm was worse and it was colder! We barely made it two blocks to our local bagel shop. We then had to go BACK to Duane Reade because someone did not ask me to buy Alka Seltzer yesterday! Anyway, that was our adventure in the storm. Now we are at home watching great movies such as “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Selena“. We will be having sandwiches and warm Italian Wedding Soup for dinner. Then it’ll be time for some Grey’s Anatomy! Oh, did I mention, my roommate’s flight back to DC has been cancelled? Woohoo!
Here is a picture of the beautiful snow:
See the rest here.
Lastly, as much as I love Michelle Kwan, I am glad she graciously stepped out of the Olympics. She hurt her groin during practice. I guess she realized that she really had no chance in winning the gold. I’ll have to root for Sasha Cohen and our Long Island favorite, Emily Hughes.
you went to serendipity 3?! ihateyou.
i hope the blizzard stays forever.

The blizzard is over so TOO bad!:giggle:
serendipity 3? like in the movie? i am so insanely jealous. i love that movie…
so how is it to live in NY and dabble in a taste of canadian snow storms?:)
Teresa said: Yup it’s the one in the movie. That’s where they meet right? They have their famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. It was soo delicious! It’s actually quite close to where I live now; I can’t believe I haven’t been there more than two times! Snow is nice, but now it’s melting so it’s pretty disgusting!
whoa. thats alot of snow. My brother is in North Carolina and he said its cold there too. Us island boys cant take the snow very long. I remember being in the snow for five minutes and wanting to go back inside. I prefer the tropic weather!:giggle:
