IN THE PINK



Perfect Freezing Friday shoes, right?
The girls (yes, when we shop we are girls) and I are so excited to be going on our Epic Shopping Adventure tomorrow even if I have to get up at 4:45 a.m.  Made a huge pot of turkey soup so the guys won't starve or just live on pizza.  I am not quite sure where 5 turkey legs came  from but I'm thinking Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas 2014.  Seriously time to do something with them.
Apparently the guys just can't understand why we would get up so early for shopping but we run our shopping adventures like boot camp.  We have to be at the mall a half hour before it opens so that we can have a cup of tea, make our battle plan (that job belongs to Sergeant Steph) and go to the bathroom before the stores open.  Many of you know that we shop with military precision to make the most effective use of our time.  Sunday we get to sleep in because we are at a hotel close to the other mall and it doesn't open until 10 although we will make an attempt at going to the gym to loosen those tired achy muscles for another day of shopping.  Two days of no cooking, laundry or cleaning.....Give me a Hallelujah.
One day all of our friends can come and we’ll rent a van or possibly a train.  What an awesome trip that would be.

Ridiculously cold again this morning but after almost getting frostbite yesterday I was prepared for it this morning.  Hat, scarf, coat, sweater, gloves, mitts, pants, splash pants and hard core boots (which are a little painful to wear I have to say).  Monday I hope the physiotherapist gives me a recommendation for a new place to get orthotics because the guy I have been seeing for too many years to count no longer works where I was going.  I really hope new orthotics are the key to being able to run (almost) pain free.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.  I know you will be waiting anxiously to see the wonderful things we bought and to hear all about our adventures.

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&#
