So many seasons in one weekend

 

Our trip to Montreal was great despite the weather.  It was so hot on our trip down and the air conditioning in my car is broken.  Apparently it has to be vacuumed to remove the moisture.  A job for another day.  We had a great lunch at a Venezuelan restaurant recommended by Steph.  After lunch we hit a joke shop and then Steph and I went to Boutique 1851.  So many pretty clothes but it turned out that the wait time to try clothes on was 45 minutes!!  Just to try them on.  Needless to say, we left.  There is another location so we went there and Steph found a lovely dress.

Steph and I HAD to go into Nine West on St. Catherines because they were having a SALE.  It was the saddest day ever - they didn't have any shoes that I really don't already have.  Someone needs to come up with some exciting new shoes.  Mind you, todays shoe is so pretty and really colourful.  Everyone certainly has noticed them :)

We also went to the old stadium that the Canadiens played at and the Y was having a fundraiser where everyone was doing Zumba.  It was great to listen to and there was one guy who was super enthusiastic with his dancing - fun to watch.

The kids were going to a Zelda Symphony at Place des Arts and on the way we got to listen to a band playing nearby.  Some of the people attending the symphony got dressed up as Zelda characters.  Interesting is all I can say.

Sunday we went to Old Montreal by the Port.  It reminded me of Europe with the cobblestone streets and old buildings.  Too bad it was windy and cold.  What is with this weather?!?!?!

I had a great weekend with the family but it was nice to get home.

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handle came half way off.  I he

Cows downtown today? I hope so.

    There is a demonstration happening downtown today by the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.   I hope that they bring cows.   That would be amazing to watch.   I’m not sure what their issue is but I try to do my part by eating yogurt.   I apologize for not drinking as much milk anymore but I have switched to almond milk.   The last week has been filled with wonders, smells, sounds and, most importantly, new shoes.   My feet were very cold last week (but certainly not this week) because they are encased in running shoes that had ventilation in the toe so I went out and got a sweet pair of Converse high tops which keep my feet toasty warm right up to my ankles.   The problem I found though is that they are not good in the rain.   While it was not raining on my ride home yesterday I did get wet and the shoes are very slippery on the peddles.   I was stuck behind two guys for far too long (mostly because I forgot to take my new route so I can avoid the many, many ruts along the

Do birds yawn?

Image
That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pretty as long as you don&#
