A little extra travelling this morning


Well it was has been another interesting morning.  I drove in today because I have to go this afternoon and have the stitches taken out of my foot.  I figure with a little artwork I can make my foot look pretty interesting for Halloween…or just to keep grossing out the kids J.
 



So, what was so interesting this morning? Well, since I got to travel through different areas of the city I got to see some interesting folks.  There was the man biking on Meadowlands Drive with an umbrella hat on.  I have an issue with him not wearing a helmet (pet peeve) but it is a pretty inventive way to keep your head dry if it rains (which it wasn’t).  I found this interesting rain contraption that I think would be a much better idea since it would fit under your helmet and also keep your shoulders dry.

Yesterday as I was leaving work I saw a woman who was wearing a furry hat. What the heck was it yesterday?  We get one day that is less than 40 degrees and all of a sudden its time to pull out the winter wear.  I do have to say though that she looked pretty unhappy – as she should with her poor fashion choice.  Oh, and I totally forgot to mention the guy on the bike yesterday morning who had a headband on to keep his ears warm.  There was such a danger of frostbite yesterday‼


Now, as I continued my journey to work this morning I saw a woman near the Museum of Nature and first let me say that she had one of those half shaved head hairstyles.  Not very attractive at the best of times.  Then there were her short black shorts with past the knee black socks and just below the knee black boots.  As one co-worker pointed out, she may have been on her way home from last night or, alternatively, she may be a hooker.  Either way it was an interesting sight so early in the day.
Then there was the woman on her way to work on Metcalfe Street wearing a long black dress with a slit up the thigh to…well…let’s just say….way high up.  Now she didn’t seem like hooker material but who am I to tell.

Then there was this guy who brought a smile to my face.  He was wearing a nice grey suit and fabulous red shoes.  You rock dude.

I wish you all a very fashionable day.

    The umbrella hat dude reminds me of someone that worked at Nordion :-)

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 handl...

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 pret...

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...
