Friday Follies


This is true.  Sometimes the answer to the problem is in the junk food cupboard or in the freezer in a carton with a pretty picture on it.


Maybe this one won't answer a problem today because, well....it is early...and cold...but maybe later.


Are  you off today?  Tackling the hoards for Black Friday sales?  I need a new duvet cover if you see any nice ones.

Today is Nutritious Me Day 3.  Had to press snooze two and a half times this morning.  I guess it takes more than 2 days to get energetic.  Patience is not one of my strong suits as you may have noticed.  I did suck it up and go to the gym.  Unfortunately The Rock couldn't inspire me to put in a great effort.  Maybe if he was my personal trainer.  I wonder what he charges.  I put in a mediocre effort which I suppose is better than no effort at all.

Because I didn't feel like running I put up the incline and pretended I was mountain climbing.  These guys had way more fun that I did.


Have you noticed that the fans on the machines at the gym are made for tall people?  I realized that yesterday when the only breeze I could feel was on the very top of my head.  Maybe we should think about making petite workout machines or hey, adjustable fans.  I'll have to reach out to NordicTrack and tell them about my amazing idea.  Why stop there.  How about a gym for petite people?  Maybe there I would actually feel tall. 


I have another idea for treadmill manufacturers.  How about you give us a keyboard and let us key in our goals.  Some days it might be "don't fall off treadmill", "just one more minute", "cardio is hardio", "where is The Rock?" or "Be a Bad Ass with a Great Ass".  I think people would love this feature.

Ok, time for breakfast and, oh, work.  Have a great Friday and an amazing 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

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&#
