Shoe of the Day

I hope you all are doing a happy dance too.  We are having Eddie and Charlie over for a sleepover tonight so my fingers are crossed that today will be a MUCH quieter work day than the rest of the week has been.  Tomorrow is our first round of strawberry picking too.  Mmmmmm. Today's fashion faux pas....a woman got on the bus this morning with white velour pants on...they were too thin on top of being velour!! Yesterday my bus ride home was ....hmmmm....interesting is a good word I suppose.  I was on one of the three side facing seats and who should come along to join me but Betty the Bus Rider.  Betty scooched, squeezed and shimmied her way into the seat beside me which caused me to be a little tilted for the ride home.  At the next stop another Betty decided to join us and she scooched, squeezed and shimmied into the seat beside Betty Number 1.  I can only guess that she continued to schooch and shimmy because Betty Number 1 got very angry ...

Thank you, thank you.  I have reached 2015 page view and since this is 2015 I am pretty excited about it.  I hope that I can continue to find fun fodder to keep you all entertained.   Did you all have a great Canada Day?  Hope so.  Interesting weather day.  We were very lucky and got home and in the door just before the deluge hit.  We wandered around downtown for a couple of hours and I have to say it was a tad disappointing on the "fashion watch" front.  There were the usual women who wore far too little in the way of clothing and one man who looked like Captain Canada with bat wings made out of flags but overall, a pretty quiet "what not to wear" day.  On the way in this morning though I did see a man wearing a very shiny pair of grey dress pants. The shine was almost as ....well, shiny as the satin on the back of his vest.  Is he hoping the 80's were coming back perhaps?   A big shout out to the Dairy Farmers of Canada ...

Can't wait to spend family time enjoying the sights and sounds downtown.

Despite having a person in my office who is snarky and rude and has no people skills when it comes to giving instructions, I will prevail and keep having happy thoughts today.  She is becoming just like on of my old bosses (AF for those who know).  My door is closed (thank goodness I have one), tea is ready and work is waiting...oh, and a nice sniff of my candle that smells like the beach) and I'm ready for the work day to begin.

IT IS ONLY 6 MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS     It is never too early to start your shopping....I wear a size 8 shoe in case you need to know and also love gift cards - LOL   I have to admit that I have been Christmas shopping for a while now and have a nice little stash started.   So, with all the interesting clothing that I see people wear both on the bus and downtown, I wonder if I'll see any of these ugly sweater suits this year.  I think they would be  hilarious and I'd wear one if they had them for women.  I'm partial to the blue one.    

Monday's come far too soon and last way too long. Arun, Kieran and I had a great run at the Ultimate Run for Men's Cancers yesterday morning.  It was very humid (and much like running in soup) but we had great times for the 5K.  We even saw a team doing the 2K walk wearing suits of armour.  How spectacular is that.  I am going to try to see if I can convince them at work to wear costumes next time...although I work with lawyers who aren't really the most flexible of folks :)     Isn't this bike bubbler the most fun thing?  I think I may need one for my bike.  Can you picture me biking to work down the Ottawa River Parkway with bubbles coming out of the back of the bike.  I know that my Nordion friends would have approved if I had one last year.   I bet I'd make more than one person smile.  Maybe if it goes on sale....  It was a nice Dad's day yesterday.  Steve and the kids had a nice t...

Had to laugh this morning when I looked at my phone and saw a text that I sent to my daughter after waking from dental surgery.  We both laughed while deciphering what I was attempting to say. Don't know hiw to get car homre  Fad gas to get me.  So sleepy. There should be a law that allows the dentist to take away your electronic devices until someone comes to pick you up.  I'm glad that I at least sent it to a family member and not a co-worker. I should be able to run the 5K Run For Men's Cancers this Sunday in record time as I am a couple of grams lighter after having a tooth removed. LOL Have a great weekend everyone.
