Snow Adventure

Two days ago it started snowing about 3:30 in the afternoon, and all heck broke loose. Everyone must have left work at the exact same time at the speed of 3 miles per hour because every single road was jammed with cars. I headed up to Moores Lane to pick up Beth (my roommate), who was stranded at a gas station. I was on Mallory Lane barely moving, so she just started walking down Mallory Lane until she got to my car (during her trek only one person asked her if she needed help). After moving about 500 feet in 45 minutes, we decided to pull in to Target and hang out while the traffic died down. It was still snowing but we were banking on the roads not getting any worse.
When you have a bunch of time to kill, Target’s a great place to be. We had our choice of parking spaces (although you couldn’t see any of the lines, so it was a free for all). We only saw about 6 other shoppers – it was surreal and kind of creepy. But the time flew by. We tried on and photographed ourselves in sunglasses, headbands, and hats; browsed the clothes and home goods; and I skimmed an entire book about Justin Bieber (while Beth pretended not to be interested but kept coming by to get tidbits). He’s actually a funny kid and seems pretty talented. Definitely overexposed and probably overrated, but hey, that’s not his fault. He also said he’s a Christian, which I thought was cool.
So after spending an hour and 45 minutes at Target, we managed not to buy anything . We walked out with nothing but our newfound respect for Justin Bieber. The roads were totally empty at that point (still very snowy), and we got home in 20 minutes with no problems. All in all, it was actually a fun evening!
