You say Tomato and I say Tomato

Went for a run at lunch yesterday and came back to work looking like this cutie.
 
 
Well, actually, I really looked like this woman.  Man its humid these days.

 
I went for a long run on Saturday over the new bridge to Manotick.  I found my next home.  It is nessled in the trees on the river and convenient to the bridge.  I just need to find a very rich, very, very old guy to leave me lots of money :)  I found a great park that was filled with people playing in the splash area, having bbq's and just enjoying the day.  There were also ponies and a goat who had pool noodles on his horns.  I imagine this was so he wouldn't hurt the kids but he looked very funny.  I hope the ponies didn't laugh at him.


I spent Saturday evening creating this Super Pops (I know - what an exciting social life you have Sandra!).  These super pops are for my run team for this weekends Run for Men's Cancers.  In my books, everyone is a super hero for joining the team.


Sunday was another lovely day so J and I got on our bikes and went back over the bridge to Manotick.  We watched the boats and seadoos on the river and then had lunch on a bench beside this tiny little cemetery.  There are some very old stones and I'm glad to see that they made a nice fence for it in the park.

My birthday gift to myself is to get back to healthy eating and lose the weight that I put on this summer.There, it’s out there now and I can’t take it back.I know how wonderful it feels to be slimmer and to eat healthy and I’m looking forward to getting there again.I hope I can count on you all to kick me in the butt when I start whining about wanting a cookie.



Stephanie made me the most delicious (and healthy) strawberry cheesecake yesterday and we all loved it without all those extra calories.Everyone gave me such wonderful and thoughtful g…

Thankful Thursday

I thought today would be a good day to list the things I am thankful for (at least for today):

Thankful that the sun is shining today
Thankful to the makers of saunas and that my gym has one so that I can warm up after a cold ride to work this morning.  (If my sauna had these chairs I'd never leave.)
Thankful that it is Thursday and there is only one more sleep until the end of the work week
Thankful to be having lunch with a friend tomorrow at the Scone Witch -  yum
Thankful that my legs hung in there for the entire uphill battle of getting downtown this morning And just because....

Not for the Faint of Heart or How Criminal Minds Relates to My Life

Can you believe that December is already here and well on its way?Where does the time go?Seriously, I couldn’t believe that today was the 7th.So much has been going on lately that November is a blur.Planning and holding Steph and Arun’s engagement party was both fun and a very busy time.As those of you who know me can attest, I tend to be my own worst enemy so when I started planning a travel themed party I ended up going off in a bunch of different directions which took planning and time but it was worth it.Great ideas for my next life as a party planner. It was very much standing room only with a lot of “excuse me’s” on my part to get in and out of the kitchen to replenish drinks and food. Everyone had a great time.I still can’t believe that we didn’t break a fire code with so many people gathered in our house at once.Would have been great to have been raided by the fire department.
Sorry, getting carried away.  Actually, not very sorry :) During engagement party planning we also h…
