A Blast from the Past

Image
I realized when I got home yesterday that I had forgotten my MP3 at work so I had to do some digging and came up with my old Phillips MP3.   Then I realized that I didn’t have any headphones (must watch for a sale and stock up).   Managed to find a set and they are oh so blingy.   I’m pretty sure that every time I went through an intersection and headlights flashed on them, my ears sparkled.   I’m also sure that the drivers of those cars were having a “What the heck?!?” moment.   Now, I really could use these but then again who wouldn’t want a tiara?   Certainly not me. So, armed with an MP3 and headphones off I go into the wild blue (dark) yonder.   What was the playlist on this old MP3 you are wondering…come on, I know you are?   Very eclectic.   Anyone who needs some time down memory lane and who wants me to share this playlist, just let me know.

Gym tales

It was late when I got to the gym today but I did manage to hear and see a couple of interesting tidbits. Two women were showering (there are separate compartments for showering) and I overheard the following conversation: Showerer 1:-   ….it is like I shower in the morning…just have to soap…. Showerer 2: - ….I never have to shave…. I can understand the first showerer but the second got me wondering.   Did you have a full body wax which seems just a tad painful to me.   Maybe you never shave which is ok but I wonder how long the hair on your legs is.   Really, I’m curious.   When you shave your legs the hair regrows.   If you don’t shave does it just stay the same length?   Question of the day. Showerer 1 or 2 (couldn’t tell them apart) -    I love your 70’s towel.   I had to check it out and was very disappointed.   She never saw the 70’s so I don’t think she understands just how wild I expected the towel to b...

  The things you learn when working with young people.  Snapchat is both funny and a little terrifying I have to say.  

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:   1. A nose ring and bifocals 2. Spiked hair and bald spots 3. A pierced tongue and dentures 4. Miniskirts and support hose 5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads 6. Speedos and cellulite 7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar 8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor 9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge 10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist 11. Bikinis and liver spots 12. Short shorts and varicose veins 13. In-line skates and a walker   And the ultimate 'Bad Taste' in fashion:   14. A thong and Depends

New shoes make it all worthwhile

This morning on public transit I had to question my decision to stop biking for the season.  Although I would be leaving and getting home in the dark, I may change my mind. A man on the bus this morning was hacking and choking and coughing and sniffing and snuffing and generally being gross.  Not his fault of course but yuck.

The things you learn at 5:30 a.m.

                 There really were a lot of stars sharing the sky with the moon but they chose not to be photographed. I managed to get out for a run bright (not) and early this morning using my cool shoe lights.  At 5:30 b irds are not awake, the car wash is open and people walking their dogs in Barrhaven are grumpy. I realized this morning that I have 24 Instagram followers.   Exciting stuff.   I only need 4,469,303 to beat Kim Kardashian and 1,199,997 to beat Bill Nye the Science Guy.   Tell your friends and family to follow me at @lettsandra J Word of the Day:   Agglomeration:   1.   the action or process of collecting in a mass; 2. a heap or cluster of usually disparate elements <urban agglomerations knit together by the new railways — Times Literary Supplement> Today was our denim day for the Terry Fox Campaign.   I went out last weekend to find th...

Yes, this is a couch in the Rideau Canal!!! What is with kids today?   Did your parents not teach you to respect others, respect the environment, respect other people’s property?   Have you never heard your parents complain about their tax bill?   I know that I can be proud of the fact that we taught our children to respect other people’s property and the environment.   I sent this picture to Carleton University in hopes that they will have cameras that could track who took a couch out of one of their buildings and threw it in the Rideau Canal.   I also hope that someone at the University cares enough to actually do something about it because now our tax dollars are going to be spent for someone to retrieve it.   There is a whole ecosystem that is damaged because of this immature stupidity. Now, onto the weekend.   Was up and at Bayshore early on Saturday to be a personal shopper.   Yes, I am available to assist you in your time of shoes/c...
