Dashing through the snow....oh.....right

Are you as tired of the gloom and rain as I am.  If I wanted to live in Vancouver I'd move.  Maybe we need to offer some sort of sacrifice to the snow gods.  Any ideas?


I wore these beauties today.  They look a little snowy.

I've been having a blast doing my #running Christmas Tour of Barrhaven and sending out pictures of all the fabulous Christmas decorations that people have put up.  It also gives me incentive to change up my route although I have to say some routes end up being a lot of walking because there are so many fun decorations to take pictures of.  There have been a couple of occasions that I have gotten a little frost bite.  Must look into getting gloves that have touch screen things on them.

I have such porch envy.  Some day maybe I'll have a nice porch to sit out on.



Even the seniors residence looks fabulous.



Now this next picture is just a bit creepy.  I'm not sure what this entity is supposed to represent but maybe we could sacrifice it to the snow gods.  Maybe they should put a Santa hat on it.


Saying of the week:  Birthdays aren't going to make it any better.

This is what I heard from the eye doctor this week.  I guess it is a more politically correct way of saying that getting old is a bitch.

Today I was at the orthopedic surgeon and I'm going for my third foot surgery in February.  Third times a charm, right?  He said two weeks of this:


And then back to shoes...just not the shoes I am wearing today.  Back to the sensible ugly shoes for a while.  Bummer but hopefully this will be the last time....hopefully.

I am looking forward to Thursday, we have our department lunch and then it is out for dinner with the fabulous bus strike ladies.  It has been too long since we last had a gab.

Everyone is loving my Christmas tree at work.  I was told this morning by one of the lawyers that the shoe wasn't allowed to be on the tree stand because a Charlie Brown tree is for kids and the shoe isn't.  As soon as he left the shoe went right back in place - LOL.


The kids did a fabulous job of decorating the tree on the weekend.  Our house looks very Christmassy.


Can you believe this?  The middle of December and my plants are growing in the garden.  They are going to be so shocked when the snow arrives....hopefully soon.  Sorry all you folks who wish this weather would last forever.


Enjoy your week.

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...
