Today I shall show you how to go walking in the snow/rain when you’re an idiot like me and live in Canada but haven’t bought boots yet.

READY?

Supplies:

1. Two plastic bags (or two large Ziplock baggies)
2. Pair of knee-high socks
3. Pair of knee-high socks that you don’t mind stretching a bit
4. Shoes
5. Feet (not pictured).

Step 1: insert feet into pair of knee-high socks.

Step 2: put baggies over socks as shown.

Step 3: put other pair of knee-high socks over baggied feet.

Step 3.5: MAXIMUM CANKLE

Step 4: put on pants and shoes.

Step 5: ???

Step 6: PROFIT! Or go walking, either one.

What I lack in common sense I make up for in…um…interesting ways to compensate for my lack of common sense.

EDIT: WELL THAT WAS A SUCKY WALK. Even with plastic protection, I was NOT going to walk through five blocks of flooded sidewalk. Nope nope nope. Also my iPod pedometer app had a flip-out moment so I lost half my mileage.

I’m frustrated now.
