Working it like a sausage


Awesome shoe day.  I really should have done that pedicure last night though.  Have to enjoy summery shoes as long as possible.

It is back to my high tops today because my runners are still soaking wet from my ride home in the rain yesterday.  I was even covered in gravel from it coming off of my tires.  I tried to put my gloves on this morning but they are still very wet.  All the way home all I could think of was how I wished I'd had long sleeves on.  It was toasty warm yesterday morning and I thought it was supposed to stay that way.  Today I am prepared with long pants and long sleeves and my new pink jacket.  I really wish I could have found pink high tops. (Hopefully after this weekend you'll see lovely new paint on my laundry room walls).


I have decided that the best beverage of the day is my cup of tea after biking to work, going to the gym to change and getting to the office.  I think I will have to figure out how to carry tea on my bike for when it gets really cold out.  No more ice water then.

At the gym this morning there was a woman encasing herself like a sausage.  It looked so painful to do and it certainly was to watch.  Why oh why do women do these things to themselves?  Do men put on clothes that are like a wet suit to go to the office?  Nope.  She finally got the thing pulled up enough to cover herself and then was digging around in her bag.  As I walked by her I asked if "that" was what she was looking for (it was behind her).  She'd lost one of her boobs.  Really.  They were thick foam boobs that she added to the sausage covering.  Where do you work lady?  After putting on tights for the first time this season, I totally would hate to (try to) put one of those under garments on.  I've tried pulling up my wet shorts after a pit stop during a half marathon and that's difficult to do, can't imagine a whole suit of it.

 
 
Do you know why they are so happy?  Because they finally got the darn thing on.  Of course, they need a shower now because it ws such hard work squeezing into it.


There was another Town Hall meeting on the Canal this morning.



It is going to be so boring when the geese and ducks leave town.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday.

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&#
