Aren't Friday's the Best?



Today is my 5 momthiversary at work and I thought I’d butter up the boss with a cupcake before I asked him how I was doing.   I should have brought a lot more cupcakes in because he’s going to survey the crowd and see what the people I work with are thinking.  They keep giving me work – and holy cow there is a lot of it today – so I’m taking that as a good sign.  Remember the good old days when your probation was only 3 months long?

Yesterday was run day – it is so hard to only run every second day – and I added in a trip behind Parliament Hill to my route so that I could run up the stairs at the locks.  What an interesting adventure.  There were two young ladies behind Parliament Hill sunbathing in their bikinis.  Are they government workers?  I didn’t see any bikes to show that they came any distance.  There is no beach behind the hill.  Seriously, wouldn’t you be worried that a co-worker would see you?  Remember how I mentioned all the construction worker bees….well, they got quite a show yesterday.
After I passed the bikini babes and the worker bees, I fortified myself with some delicious cold water from the water fountain at the bottom of the hill – thanks PWC – and then approached the stairs with the same mind-set that I imagine Floyd Mayweather approached his boxing match with Pacquiao….I will not be defeated!  I rock! I will not have a cardiac arrest and embarrass myself….you get the idea.  All I have to say is thank goodness there is a big space between each staircase which gives your legs a bit of a break.  I need to get the Rocky music on my MP3 for the stairs.  Steph – can you work on that?

It is now the season that my face gets to be an especially lovely shade of red for at least an hour after I run.  I had to take off my fuchsia jacket because we clashed – lol.  Walking back to the office I passed a young gentleman who had on black leggings and beige short shorts over top.  WHY???  Such a bad look on girls let alone a guy.
Today is just a walk with a friend at lunch and since it is going to be super-HOT I can’t wait to see what fashion fails we’ll see.  I’ll bring my camera.

Hope you all have fun plans for the weekend.  I will be painting - outside if it’s nice and inside if it rains.  Fun, fun, fun.

HAPPY EARLY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MY FAVOURITE MOM’S

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
