Would you wear these shoes?


Would you wear these wild and wacky shoes?  Do you think I would?

I was out for a run yesterday.  I meant to just go for a walk at lunch but you know me....walking is hard and takes too long so I had to run.  It was wonderful.  I have to remember to always bring a towel though.  Because I was only planning a walk I didn't bring one and, well, it was time for a sink bath again and lots of whirrrrrrrrrrrrr...........whirrrrrrrrrrrr........whirrrrrrr from the automatic paper towel machine.  Silly me :).  It would have been wonderful to take a nice cold shower as well.  This was me after my run and for quite a while afterwards too.  Looked great with my newly coloured hair - hahahaha.  Thank goodness people are way too polite to say anything.


So, I'm waiting to cross the street by the Supreme Court and what do I see?  It was like Miami Vice meets King Louis XVI.  What was this guy thinking?  Starting a (strange) new fashion trend?  No socks kind of throws me when wearing a suit (or most of). 


                





Check out how much the corn has grown in the last two weeks.  Mmmmm.


I had to stop along the Canal this morning to take a picture of whatever these plants are.  They are so beautiful but are too far away for me to see what they could be.


Have a spectacular day everyone.  It's going to be a scorcher and I can't wait to be out in it for my ride home tonight.


Oh, I almost forgot to add this photo.  I found this in the fridge at work this morning.



Check out the expiry date.  What a treasure.

I forgot to mention that I have paid it forward.  Remember the nice guy who stopped to see if I was ok when I was stopped at the side of the road on my bike?  Well, I was leaving our building after work yesterday and stopped a woman in front of me to gently (it is hard to know just how to approach someone on this) tell her that her dress was tucked into her underwear.   I'm pretty sure if it was me I'd be mortified but we had a chuckle.  I'm sure she would have eventually noticed when she could feel the warm sun on her butt but I would hope that someone would do the same for me should (God forbid) this be me some day.

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.

Image
    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&#
