yikes it's nuts out there...
Took Eliska out earlier today to get her flu shot booster. This meant venturing onto the icy streets of West Seattle. Surprisingly, the roads were looking pretty decent. We made it to the doctor's office and then down to Burien to hit the Fred Meyer with little difficulty.
Fred Meyer, however, was a mad house. I lucked into a parking spot right away but had to go on the 'great shopping cart' search of 2008 to get a cart. Every cart was being used. You had to be a cart vulture to get one. It took us 30+ minutes to check out as well. Thankfully, Eliska was being a well behaved little girl and got lots of compliments about her little kitty hat*. Shopping carts are not made for the snow, though. I had to pull the cart to my car while walking backwards through the lot. Yeeeesh.
The one hill by the house that I was worried about proved to be no match for my little car. We made it up the hill just fine and managed to make it home before the weather gods started to pelt us with a second left hook of snow. Woot!
