Ice cream headache kind of day


Oh I plan on it.


I was coming down Larkin mountain (I think of it as a mountain especially when having to ride up it at the end of the day) and you get some pretty good speed going which caused a bit of an ice cream headache this morning.  After that it wasn’t too bad until I hit Dows Lake.  Don’t know why it felt colder along the Canal, especially since there is almost no water in it, but my toes froze.  I even had my army socks and high tops on.  Will have to find another pair of socks to add to this for tomorrow’s ride.  I may actually have to start wearing pantyhose soon too….such sadness.
The sunrise was so pretty this morning.  The clouds were red.  I would have taken a picture but having two pairs of mitts on makes it very hard to take pictures and to blow your nose.  Kept my digits warms though.
I saw a sweet bike this morning.  A woman had blue neon lights in the spokes of her bike.  I’ll have to look for something like this for next year.  I got a red blinking dog tag for my backpack.  It’s a dog bone.  Good thing I did because the red light on the back of my bike gave up the ghost this morning.

I had a discussion with the ducks and geese this morning.  As mentioned, there is very little water in the canal by Carleton U now which meant that there was a some ice this morning.  I’d think that this would be a sign for the ducks and geese to get a move on to warmer climates but no, they were playing and eating and just generally hanging around.  Seeing all the duck butts in the air this morning made me think of synchronized swimmers especially when their legs were flapping trying to get some traction because there isn’t a lot of water.



We attended Steph’s 25th birthday party on the weekend.  There was so much food and everyone had a great time.  Congratulations on a job well done Arun.


5 more sleeps until our next Epic Shopping Adventure.  Steph, Corina and Cindy make sure  you all get your rest, make your lists, pack your snacks and get out your comfiest clothes.  The party starts at 6:10 when I pick up Corina.

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...
