Long Island?


Jen and I decided on a date to try our luck in Long Island. Though I had done this before and had come up sadly almost empty handed, I thought I'd give LI a second chance. The morning of our trip I opened the window to a snow storm - Despite the weather I picked up Jen and we headed out. The snow storm should have been my first clue that it was going to be a questionable day, but ten minutes into our drive we heard a song being sung through a loud speaker. Confused I looked around and spotted a hot guy in a corrections van driving side by side with us. He was singing a Christmas song in a thick Long Island accent. He then dedicated the song to us and slowed down enough so we could snap this picture of him. It totally brought our spirits up. We pretty much spent the day dealing with surly store clerks and trying not to smash into other cars on the slippery roads. Our tides turned on our last stop when we found the sickest stash of snakeskin shoes - so sick my heart stopped for a minute.We proceeded to fill our cart with amazing shoes and boots. I then got in a verbal fight with a store clerk that didn't want to open the jewelry case. I won and got these gorgeous earrings and owl ring. Despite everything LI threw at us we managed to score big time so LI might have beat me last time, but this time we came out on top.
