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't think about the firey death that awaits....sorry, that's my worry and why I wouldn't ever ride in one.  They are pretty though.


The ducks were taking turns jumping into the water at Hogs Back.  They are so cute and the water does look really inviting.

 
I would like to take a moment to say to the milk thief at work - STOP DRINKING MY MILK.  Why would anyone think that almond milk would be supplied by the office?  Seriously, I had a 2L container and thought it would last me until the end of the month and it is empty.  I've labelled my new one...hmmmm, maybe one of my former co-workers could send me some radiation stickers to put on it....you know where to send them - thanks!
 

I wanted to share this link with you all because Harry is my Grammar Hero.  Seriously, this is one of my pet peeves and he totally called this person on it.  Pay attention in school kids because this could happen to you.

And on a final note, I was listening to my eclectic array of music on the ride in this morning and heard a song that I haven't listened to before.  The song started out with "Dr. Bon Jovi please come to emergency."  Well let me tell you, my heart did a few extra pumps as my imagination flew (ok, maybe it was biking too hard but still...).  I imagine that the waiting list to become his patient would be huge but I would be at the front of the line and I'd become a hypochondriac just to be able to see him a lot.   Let your imagination fly with mine ladies.  The man doesn't take a bad picture ever.

         




 
And your Thursday funny.  Enjoy the day.

    Misused contractions are my biggest pet peeve. The young girl actually said "I'm not really good at English at all. But I'm just so happy one of them noticed the sign." Oh I just noticed, she's American.... they don't speak English.

    To answer your questions on "do birds yawn".....

    Experiments with Budgerigars indicate that yawning can serve as a thermoregulatory behavior; the birds yawned more frequently in warmer conditions.

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...

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...
