Feeling Fabulous


Welcome to Wednesday.  Mid-week.  Half way to the weekend.  Feeling better yet? 
Yesterday I got to listen to college and university kids chatting on the bus and it was enlightening.  Apparently Riverfest was sick and if you meet someone who lives on res it is also sick.  My old brain figures that must be a good thing.  Hahaha.  It was nice to hear one guy tell  his friend that he was going back to Algonquin after quitting in 2011.  Good on him.

Back riding to work this morning.  Holy moly but it’s a hot one.  Started sweating after 15 minutes.  Ever get that mustache sweat followed by the chin sweat?  Makes me feel so glamorous.  Actually it was kind of sweaty riding in but it was when I stopped in the parking garage that it was like being dumped on with a bucket of water….hot water.  Super lovely feeling.  I was “glistening” J.

         

 
I have been debating on whether I should become the Maxine of Biking.  I was stopped at a light and looked over at the car beside me and the guy was eating cereal.  That is a two handed job which leaves none on the wheel.  I really wanted to give the guy a lecture on getting out of bed 5 minutes earlier so he could eat his cereal at home.  Then there were the bikers who didn’t have lights or reflectors on the back of their bikes.  The sun was just coming up this morning when I started out and it really isn’t safe to not have something on the back of your bike.  I wonder how long it would take for me to get beat up if I started calling people out on their stupidity.

 
Crossing over to the gym I saw an older woman who was wearing a sweater and knitted gloves.  Is this the new way to kill yourself? 

I am doing the Army Run 5K on the 20th since you can walk it.  I hope that I can do a half walk and half run because walking takes far too long.  They have a prize age category of 90 – 94.  There is hope for me winning a prize eventually‼
Week 4 of healthy eating and I’m down 12.8 pounds.  Feeling Fabulous!  Looking forward to the weather cooling down a bit so I can get out my fabulous fall wardrobe….just not too soon.  The humidity could leave, just not the heat.

Hope everyone had a great first day of school yesterday.

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...
