Shoe of the Day

It is so hard not to walk up to people like this and say 'WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?  DO YOU NOT HAVE A MIRROR?"  Such an unfortunate outfit and I'm sorry but the hair clashes with your hat.   Day 2 of home renovations and things are looking so much better.    Day 1 the back door looked like this.        Day 2 the door looked like this.                 Day 1 Living Room                                    Day 2 Living Room            Day 1 Living Room to hallway                          ...

Two thoughts of the day (so far).... Before wearing a skirt that has a slit in it for the first time, take a moment to sew the top of the slit to give it some extra strength so that when you step onto the bus on the way to work the slit does not grow.  This can lead to a lot of scandal at the office.  It also leads to a lot of wasted time looking for a safety pin. Second thought:  sleeveless tops under a jacket with a slippy lining makes for a very cold commute to work. New thought:  Ewwwwwwwww, guy just walked by my office and burped and didn't even say excuse me.  Are we not at the office?  You are out in public!  Really!

THE CLOTHES I DIDN'T BUY   Epic Shopping Weekend was a huge success. If you get the chance, going to Pointe Clair and then to Laval for a sleepover shopping weekend is the way to go. We got to Pointe Clair at 8:45 on Saturday morning which was enough time to freshen up and scout out which end of the mall we wanted to start in.   Second store we went to was Nine West and the woman there was fantabulous.   I bought 3 pairs of shoes (2 on sale), Steph bought shoes and Cindy also bought shoes and a purse.   The day just couldn’t have started out better.   We got fabulous deals and such pretty Spring clothes (as you can see) and that was just Day 1. After shopping we stopped at a Vietnamese restaurant for some very delicious soup for dinner and then drove to Laval to our hotel.   The hotel was great with the exception of the bird next door.   Who brings a bird to a hotel and why would they?   They don’t need to be fed, watered and w...

A froot loop hiding under the seat perhaps?  Have you ever wondered why the poor thumb gets ostracized by its finger friends?  While waiting for the bus this morning,  wearing 2 pairs of mitts,  my thumbs were very cold which got me to thinking about how they are really left out in the cold by he fingers who get to huddle together for warmth.  As you can see, I had far too much time waiting for the bus today.

Perfect Freezing Friday shoes, right? The girls (yes, when we shop we are girls) and I are so excited to be going on our Epic Shopping Adventure tomorrow even if I have to get up at 4:45 a.m.   Made a huge pot of turkey soup so the guys won't starve or just live on pizza.  I am not quite sure where 5 turkey legs came  from but I'm thinking Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas 2014.  Seriously time to do something with them. Apparently the guys just can't understand why we would get up so early for shopping but we run our shopping adventures like boot camp.   We have to be at the mall a half hour before it opens so that we can have a cup of tea, make our battle plan ( t hat job belongs to Sergeant Steph) and go to the bathroom before the stores open.   Many of you know that we shop with military precision to make the most effective use of our time.   Sunday we get to sleep in because we are at a hotel close to the other mall and it doesn't open...

 It has been a quiet week on the bus and gym front.   Yesterday on the way to work the guy in front of me kept me smiling every time I looked up from my book because his hat said MOO.   I’m sure there was more to it but that’s the part I could see.   On the way home on Tuesday I was waiting at the bus stop and a group of people saw their bus and one said “he better stop” and then others echoed it.   I wanted to say   “or what?”   Are you going to swear at the bus as its driving away? They don’t care because they can’t hear you.   I have to confess that after working late yesterday and checking the OC Transpo website to see what time the bus was coming, I left the building and watched the bus drive away -   it was early!   I did swear.   Doesn’t really make you feel better.   This morning at the gym it was pretty smelly in the change room.   I gave it some thought and yes, my clothes were clean and I didn’t sw...

    Another freezing day in the capital.   Will this ever end?  I had so many layers on this morning that it was hard to reach my bus pass to get on the bus (which was 5 minutes late but in "standing in the cold" time that's 20 minutes).  I decided to walk the extra couple of blocks to the bus shelter and got trapped with two very noisy people.  The man (who had no gloves on!  Do you need your wife to remind you that its winter dude?) who kept burping and a woman who kept growling..yes, growling.  Kind of scary especially when it is super quiet and that's all you can hear.  Then, walking to work there was a young lady in front of me and the slit in the back of her dress was super alarming.  She had on a short coat and I'd hate to see how much higher the slit actually went.  Its always a good plan to do a twirl in front a mirror before leaving the house - hair, good; slit - appropriate; make up - fine).   Sun...
