something other than snow
January 7, 2010
My new teaching uniform is basically variations on this:
-necklace/scarf: UNIFORM natural
-short sleeved shirt with smocking, thrifted over the holidays (Value Village)
-skirt: this one’s a little more casual than most of the others, but I thought that might offset the non-casualness of teaching in high heels. Value Village.
-several layers of tights and long socks: it’s cold up here in the Great White North! And from what I’ve seen so far around here, I seem to be the only person in North Bay not wearing trousers.
-mary jane pumps: Zellers
But wait a minute! You wanted more pictures of snow, right? Everybody wants more pictures of snow. And who could blame them, really. I got your snow pictures right here:
This afternoon after class I took a chance and walked home down the winding snowy path that used to be a road (no longer a road because the hairpin turns it took to get up the big hill were too dangerous). I’d been told that the path wasn’t plowed in winter but was well-traveled enough to be good and packed down. My plan was to check it out on the weekend, when I didn’t have anywhere to be, in case I got lost and ended up walking in circles or getting a huge soaker in my boot. But tonight I didn’t feel like waiting half an hour for a bus and I sort of had to pee, so I went for it. Turns out it’s impossible to get lost, and it’s faster than the bus! Plus two dollars cheaper. And when I got to the bottom of the path where it picks up the other road, I could see my bus stop from there. This town is so much tinier than Google Maps makes it look.
I’m betting it’s not quite so quick a trip going the other way, uphill. But the extra cardio workout is going to be worth it.

Your hair looks really good. Also, I wish I had gotten take a picture of snow more like yours.
