Mascara

Its freezing cold outside. The news is reporting zero and sub zero temperatures -- though I don't think its actually dipped below the teens. For New Yorkers its still considered the end of the earth as we know it. For Minnesotans, its what we call springtime.

Brief exposure to this "what-I-imagine-hell-to-be-like" weather can lead to frostbite in our little, canine friends. But we, your loyal dog walkers, still trek through the frozen tundra to make sure that no dog is left with crossed legs. We are the champions of winter. While you are sitting, toasty in your fancy office, sipping your margaritas and being fanned by a band of Tropicana girls, I'm trying to defrost the icicle snot that has formed on my face.

But I'm not complaining. I'm wearing two layers of long underwear over my thick, knit stockings; hand warmers in my heavy duty gloves; a ski mask; goggles and mascara. That's right. I may look like the love child of the abominable snowman and his Yeti mistress, I may have to "pee on the go" to maintain feeling in my legs, but underneath it all, I like to look nice. After all, I'm a professional.

Glad you are posting again! I found you through Marissa and I find your stories very very funny.

Good luck with the freezing cold, and if it is of any consolation, in my office the heating is not working very well and I am freezing too!!

It's been the coldest of cold and it's been going on to long.
I walk (only) two city blocks in my work clothes (scrubs)at 5am and it feels like I have nothing on my legs and its 7 degrees out. I can not imagine dog walking in this weather.
But I glad to see your keepen up with the makeup.
keep warm
