We are having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave

Apparently it is quite warm outside but I haven't had a chance to go out yet today so I'll just have to take everyone's word for it.  I wanted to go out and warm my feet but alas it has been a busy day.
 
The weekend was very busy and fun.  We babysat Charlie (1) and Eddie (6) on Friday night and Saturday.  Charlie is trying to walk so it made for an adenture.  I had forgotten what it is like to not be able to sit down or do anything until little one's go for their nap.  We went out for a walk on Saturday morning and Charlie fell asleep.  I have to say that I walked very fast to get home so that he would sleep for a while and I could get some laundry going and do the breakfast dishes.  We went to the park in the afternoon and both kids got so full of sand.  It was a lot of fun filled with a lot of "no Charlie, don't eat sand" moments.  I was very pooped by the time Saturday night came along.  There are very valid reasons for having kids when you are young.  I totally don't understand women who have kids late in life...are you nuts!!!
 

Sunday was gardening day.  I started out meeting this guy who was between me and the garden hose.  Sorry to say that I won.  Sorry dude.  I'm sure he'll make up new residence in my car along with the other spiders that make cobwebs while I sleep.

I probably should have waited to do my transplating but I was on a role and hopefully everything is strong enough to survive the move.

I moved the burning bush from the front of the house where it was getting too big to the backyard where it is allowed to get a million feet tall because then it will block out Frank the bad neighbour.  The bush was firmly planted in the ground and did not come out without a fight.  Some of the other plants were the same.

All that digging left me with an interesting bruise around my thumb.   I do like the unusual apparently.

         


I think I should put on dark pink polish to match, don't  you?

Jonathan and I went out for my first bike ride in 2 weeks last night.  It was a gorgeous night for a ride although the bugs were far too plentiful and the sun goes day way too soon.  So sad to see the end of summer.



Looking forward to the long weekend of nothingness...well, as nothing as I usually do.

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...
