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.

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

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&#

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
