Wacky Wednesday Tales


I saw a blue heron on the Canal on my way home yesterday.  It was so amazing but by the time I stopped and got my phone out it had flown away.

My chuckle of the day yesteday (well, actually it was a chuckle and a huge smile) was the older gent who was rollerblading but he was doing it like he was figure skating.  He put one knee up for a few seconds and then the other sort of like a really slow march.  Then he bent over and put his arms out and he looked sort of like a figure skater but sillier.


This was me the last time I rollerbladed.  I sometimes wonder why I still  have them.


Dear City,

Since Mr. and Mrs. Farmer aren't listening to me would you please clean up Merivale Road?  It is such a mess and it is hard to bike safely on.  I'm pretty sure it isn't manure....at least totally. I actually sent the City a request to clean the road today.  It may take until October 28th to have it done.  Seriously - a week.  Maybe I'll see the farmer before then and we can chat.


Funny sighting on Sunday.  Look closely.  I almost waved back - LOL

 
It is very odd to be going up an escalator and looking over and a cart is going up beside you all by itselft.


Three more sleeps until our EPIC CANADIAN SHOPPING ADVENTURE.

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...
