Call me cynical I suppose

All that is on TV these days is Christmas movies.  Now I like Christmas stuff as much as the next person but seriously, that's all that is on except for sports and news.  I need some drama.


I was watching a movie on Sunday night while slaving over the ironing board and all I could do was critique it.  The premise of the movie was that this young woman was going out with a guy for a few years but they lived in different cities.  On her way home to see her family and him at Christmas time she is on a bus that breaks down and she is rescued by a cowboy who drives her home. They invite him to share Christmas with them (very nice folks).  Meanwhile her and the cowboy hang out so she can show him the sights of the city (New York).  They get pretty cozy.  Boyfriend is jealous and proposes to her at a big office party in front of a zillion people - she is stunned but accepts.  On the way home she tells him that it is all a mistake.  They are not each others true loves (she likes the cowboy).  Boyfriend speeds off, cowboy rides a horse through NYC to her house and they agree that they are each others true loves and up she hops on the horse behind him.  Now this is where I really have aproblem - she's wearing the short red dress that she went to the party in.  How comfy can it be in the cold to have a cold saddle on your ass?  Oh, before this she is sitting on a glider in front of the house with her coat on, mitts on and the coat isn't done up.  Is it cold enough for mitts or is it too warm to do your coat up.  See my dilemma.  Maybe I should stick to The Grinch.

 
 
Look at this!  How does this happen?  I was fine when I went to the gym this morning (yep, go me) and when I got dressed afterwards my pantyhose was almost decapitated.  Glad I had an emergency pair because the thought of paying another $10 for a pair just sucks.
 
Yesterday morning on the bus there was a gentleman who appears to be trying to start a new fashion trend.  He was wearing a headband around his mouth.  His beard helped keep it in place.  Not sure that this trend will catch on or why he was actually wearing it that way but hey, you just never know what will catch on.
 
One more sleep and one more work day and then it is WRAPPING DAY.  Just once it would be nice if I could manage to get my wrapping done before Christmas Eve but alas, this is not the year.  At least I have the whole day off work so I can get started on it early.
 
Enjoy your day no matter if you are resting, relaxing, shopping, wrapping, baking, etc.
 
 
Memories of a former boss

 
Looks like this will be a good warning this year with no snow in the forecast.


 
Hmmm, great way to turn red.

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 handle came half way off.  I he

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&#

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 toed shoes I've seen since.....w
