Well, we are half way through the work week and the weather is pretty good.  Hopefully the weather will stay nice for Sunday's trip to Winterlude to view the ice sculptures and for the kids to have their winter beaver tail.
I had a supplement to yesterday's post but was too busy to get it out so here it is.  I went to the gym at lunch (which is a different crowd than in the morning) and it was a cornucopia of people.  I got on the treadmill at the back of the room because when you are doing a 2 minute walk/3 minute run you don't want to attract too much attention to yourself (or at least not until I can get that t-shirt which says "Excuse the slowness, I'm recovering from foot surgery").  In front of me is a man who is running like his pants, legs, feet and shoes are all on fire.  It was pretty exhausting just watching him go.  I couldn't watch him for long because it makes me sad that I won't ever reach that level of speed so I turned to the elliptical machines and there in the front row is an older gentleman who is wearing a light yellow shirt that is soaked and now see through....thank goodness I only got the back view.  He also has braids.  The whole picture was disturbing.  Then the pants-on-fire guy gets off the treadmill and who gets on but bare butt lady.  Yep, nothing lovelier to watch than a woman who has half her butt showing because she's wearing stripper capris.  Where else would you buy pants like that but at a stripper store?

Not all of you may be aware but we have a lot of food on wheels downtown.  Right in front of our building is a truck that has a variety of foods each week.  Yesterday was shepherd’s pie that I have to say sounded amazing.  What I can't get my head around are people who go to the seafood truck.  It’s called Mobile Seafood.  Well, it was mobile while it was alive I suppose.  I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about germs if I bought seafood from a truck.  This is the City's way to try to make trucks "gourmet".  Give me a chip truck any day!

    Poutine is the way to go...that is pretty much all I buy from food trucks. There are a couple new ones in Stittsville though, a sandwich one called "The Wiches Cauldron", my daughters said was very good, a pulled pork/smoked rib one, which is supposed to be amazing and one that you can get some thai food, haven't tried that one either. The Glen also has a fish and chip wagon on Hazeldean road in Stittsville too! I like the variety.

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

Do birds yawn?

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&#

Oh but I want these.

The boss is back from the UK today.  I wonder if he brought me back these gorgeous shoes?   I think I deserve them since it was my 6 month anniversary here on Monday, I'm a loyal, hardworking (most of the time), fun, friendly, engaging, reliable, fashionable....well, obviously I could go on but I'll stop...employee.  Maybe I should have put that in an email and sent it to him before he left London. Yesterday I followed a woman to the bus stop and I marvelled at how she seemed to be walking while trying to keep something between her knees.  Had to be that because why would you take such tiny little steps in life if not for that.  Is that a new inner thigh workout.  Maybe I should try it because mine could certainly use some toning.  Plus, really, it would take her a week to walk a block.  On top of that she had on a skirt that went to her ankles (so you couldn't actually see if there was something between her knees) and the pointiest toed shoes I've seen since.....w
