1) The boots arrived and man, are they UGLY!
I know, some readers, (i.e., Krissy and Bee), told me so, in very polite terms, but I've seen so many girls sporting the proverbial boots with the fur, and they looked so cozy. 
I thought I could do it, but not without looking like a woolly mammoth or some Long Islander chick. Next option...
2) With regards to our ice capades, we even witnessed a proposal! As we were leaving the ice for the resurfacing, an announcer overhead said, "please turn your attention to the center of the ice for a special treat we know you'll all enjoy." Et voilà! A proposal and an acceptance to the tune of a cheesy romantic R&B song (which alludes me now.) A cynical lady next to us said, "that's it? I mean, it's nice and all, but I thought it was going to be a a show or something." Ha!
