Land of the Giants

I went to Nordstrom with Stephanie at lunch and oh my but what a lot of lovely things.  The shoes!!!  Oh, to finally meet Jimmy Choo and Milano Blahnik in person - a dream come true.  Of course, I was sad to leave without any of these gorgeous shoes but when I win the lottery.....

The dresses were quite lovely too.  Apparently though a lot of women who shop there are giants.  This is a skirt.  I could use it as a tent.  Add a touque (going with the winter theme today) and I'd be the most stylish of campers.

Sing it! Sing it out loud!

Image
My day started with me walking out the front door directly into a cobweb.  Ick.


I had a lovely ride into work although maybe mitts might be in order for the early morning rides. 



I wish I had time to vary my route so that I could see more spectacular views of Ottawa but Farrhaven is just too far from downtown to add any miles to my ride.

I got to the parking garage, got off my bike and promptly started walking into the wooden bar that lifts when cars go through.  Unfortunately there were many beings in the garage and could hear the security guard yell "STOP"!!!  Ooops.


I'm sorry Ryan.  I know, bad enough that I do it but then I blog about it.
I got the last laugh though..or maybe the first.  I'm pretty sure that everyone heard me laugh when I opened an email from our IT department this morning.

I haven't decided what I'm going to sing yet but am open to suggestions.

I wonder if the person who sent out the email is having a 'Ryan' moment too.

Enjoy th…

It is Long Weekend Eve

Image
If these shoes don't scream "BRING ON THE WEEKEND" I don't know what does.  Wish I had a pair :)


Happy Long Weekend Eve Folks.
I have long weekend fever….do you?

It was such a nice, sweaty ride in this morning.Much quieter as a lot of people have taken the day off…they are so lucky.I too will take a day off one of these days.





The word of the weekend will be “Swamp Ass” when it comes to the weather.  Go out and play but also take time inside some air conditioning (the museums are free on Monday) and stay hydrated (which does not mean more beer).



Enjoy the weekend, take pictures, share your stories.

Reprogramming Needed

Image
The weekend started out great.  Friday I was told that I should consider leaving a half hour early.My response was “Why?”.I really do have to be reprogrammed!I did start the process for biking home 15 minutes early so I consider that progress.One day I hope that I will learn to just say “Thanks” when offered the opportunity to leave early and not worry about cleaning up what’s on my desk.Is there a therapist for that?


Another fine weekend for garage sale-ing.This weekend we went to Alta Vista.I think that the folks in Alta Vista are a little more civilized than the rest of us because people were still setting up at 8:30 a.m.Everywhere else is up and at it by 7:00 a.m.8:30 works for me.
We saw a couple of interesting pieces.  I thought of the dragon for my garden to scare away the squirrels but as Jonathan pointed out, they would most likely just build a nest inside it.



There weren’t a lot of treasures for me this weekend but I did find these things.With all the talk of the fabulous camer…
