Oh my! I have goals. After reading ninJA's post I will wear wonderful shoes to NYC or never complain. Actually my shoes didn't hurt my feet in September, it was walking miles and miles and miles and miles with the encouragement that it 'was just a little bit more'. Translate that into a couple more MILES. Or only another block.... or two or several more MILES. When I followed some really young things wearing very high heels trucking down the street, I had to mentally switch to my internal Marine Hymn cadence. For some reason that helps. At least I kept up with them then.
Then the steps not the shoes were a concern. 20 steps down into the subway......25 steps up on the exit. And you better move quickly or you will get passed on the stairs. Knees don't like any of that.
Right now my left knee doesn't like me and it's the 'good' one. It's swollen and sometimes buckles when I walk. The book fair the last two weeks at school didn't help. Totally on my feet all day long with the little ones who pick up 5 books with only 3 dollars to spend.
I did buy a coat, but if ninJA is cold with his new coat I'm going to be cold. I will pack to layer and will look even fluffier. If we fluff enough, being hit by one of those cars shouldn't hurt. I will bounce to the pavement and roll to the gutter where my hapless family will struggle to get me to my feet as my knees don't work and I 'don't do down'.
Goals. GLORIOUS Goals.
I hope our reservations stick. I don't like the sound of 'THE MILTON'. Sounds like a typo.
This isn't McDonald's it's MacDougall's. TO-TALLY different.
GLORIOUS Goals.
I will not complain. (much)
I will be positive. (Remember I AM a-negative so it is genetic)
I will not scream at traffic.
Glory Halleluiah!
Peace on Earth, Good will Toward Men.

Evidently the conference didn't book any hotel for the first night, so we ended up at the Milford. Hilton the next 3 nights was great!
Make sure to dress in layers! Long underwear with loose fitting slacks helps to keep the cold off your legs.
Warm shoes are necessary! Mine were awesome after I loosened them up.
Must have a warm head blanket and coat hood. (again, layers for your head)
I was never really cold outside, even standing outside the Today show for 3hours on Monday morning - Temp in the 20s.
