Wacky Wednesday


New Shoes are THE BEST


My morning commute consisted of way to much road kill.  One poor raccoon dragged…..oh, I can’t go there and I’m sure you don’t need to hear it.  I should come up with my own Ottawa Road Kill Bingo.  Stay tuned.



This reminds me that we need to have a road trip this summer Steph and Cindy.  Jonathan and I are going on a road trip this weekend (heaven help us) to Ogdensburg to pick up a new air conditioner for my car.  I really hope that this one lasts more than one season.  But the fun of US Walmart awaits us J.



Have I told you how my keyboard is possessed?  Well, probably the computer, but what a pain in the butt.  It keeps reverting to a French keyboard so my symbols move around.  WhyÉ (that would be the ?)  I just donèt (see!!) know what to do.  IT has come by but maybe it is time to call my new IT friend Clayton to give it an exorcism.

Who knew that this was a thingÉ….argh!!!

So, to continue my morning commute…what else happened?

A person in a car almost clipped me as I biked well within the white line on the side of the road.  Seriously people, can you not keep your cars within YOUR white lines on the road?  Monday I was going down Prince of Wales and there was a car stopped, waiting to turn left and a big moving truck dodged to the right and almost took me out because he was IN MY SPACE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.  DO NOT PASS ON THE RIGHT!  Did you miss the big sign you big **&?$$#))_.

Then I saw Dracula.  Really, I did.  He was wearing all black and a cape and he even had the peaked hair.  Looked kind of grumpy too.  He should have been happy that it wasn’t really sunny so he didn’t sizzle.

He really is.


Have I mentioned how bumpy some of the bike paths are?  Haven't seen any worker bees out fixing the paths and roads.  Maybe they are waiting for the nicer weather, like what is coming this weekend...400 degrees in the shade.



Well, I hope that my commute home isn't as horrific as the weather folks are predicting.  I don't mind torrential downpours but thunder and lightening are even too much for me.


Happy Wacky Wednesday.


Take a moment to fill out your homework and send me a copy.  Can't wait to see how your wacky selves.

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&#
