First Snow

It is snowing, friends, on SI and in the city. It is so beautiful, it looks like the finest glitter falling from the clouds. It's so cold, but what a treasure to see something so beautiful!

It's the first snow I've seen all winter; it's also the first snow I've experienced in New York. My shoes are worthless on the slick streets and forget any hairstyle but a ponytail. The snow melts in my hair and eyelashes rendering me the lookalike of a frozen drowned kitten, no matter what I try.

On  side note, I'm thinking of starting a little blurb and calling it, "According to Kathy." I went to my little grocery again today and chatted with Kathy, the Long Island Asian lady, and it's just so nice to have a gossip friend. I thought it would be cute to record the funny little conversations we have, like we are the oldest and dearest friends. So here's the first one:

According to Kathy, Starbucks pays something like $15 an hour and it's the best place to meet cute single boys. The best nanny jobs are in the city for the upwardly mobile young couples and can pay around $40,000 a year. For this information, I traded my newly discovered secret of a little store call Green Finds, where I found a cashmere sweater marked down to $10!

The job search continues. I have had a few nibbles on my resume but no one has bitten yet. I am so grateful to be living in the wonderful city, despite its cold and its poor grammar and manners. Guess I'll have to get my Southern out and teach 'em, won't I??

Keep reading, my friend! Have a blessed weekend!!
