And the word of the day is Hakunamasquata




Another SpectacularHotSweatyAwesomeWishIWasatTheBeach day.

Ladies, I have to tell you that you are missing a lot of shirtlessness along the canal these days.  Maybe you all want to chip in and get me a Go Pro camera for my bike helmet so you can see some of the glistening awesomeness going on out there.  Just putting it out there.

Yesterday there was a couple sitting on a bench along the canal with a picnic basket and they were enjoying a glass of wine (in real glasses).  Nice way to end a day.  Steph, you need a picnic basket to go with your new blanket.  Next was a man playing his guitar while sitting on a bench. He should have moved to a closer bench so he could serenade the couple.  Mind you, I had my headphones in so he could have been playing something horrible for which they would be grateful not to have to hear.  Then much glistening shirtlessness.  Wish I could have done the same myself this morning.  Whew but it was a sweaty ride.  The sun came out just as I got to Carleton University and it was spectacular…I should get out the thesaurus to find other words for spectacular but it really was.  Made me smile.

Can I just take a moment to rant about insurance companies?  Apparently we have to pay for a drivers abstract for Jonathan in order to insure him.  Seriously!!  What a money grab on the part of the government and the insurance companies.

My bike commute rant for this week is that last night on the sweaty, hot ride home I was about to turn right and another biker decided to pass me ON THE RIGHT.  Are you an idiot?  Well, apparently you are.  If I hadn’t have noticed we would have crashed.  Dolt!!

Happy news for me this week is that I am down 15 pounds – yee haw.  I can actually see some of my muscles again.  I’ve missed them J.

I have been powering through ab work this week and every time I cough today I could cry.  YOWCH.  No pain, no gain, right?

Almost time for me to head out for a very hotsweatywishIwasatthebeach bike ride home.  If you see a puddle on the side of the road later it will probably be me.



This will definitely be me when I get home.  My bottle of ice melts very quickly in this weather and becomes a bottle of hot water....ewww.

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE.

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…
