It is time to protest

Ok ladies (gents, you can join us if you'd like) - it is time to protest the high cost of pantyhose.  I just paid $11.29 for one single solitary pair of pantyhose.  That is outrageous.  I haven't figured out just how to protest yet and would welcome suggestions.  We could all let the hair grow on our legs until it is a nice furry cover and we wouldn't need pantyhose then.  Are you with me?  Lets get this protest going.


Now that I have given the bride-to-be her gift I can share with you my latest craft project.  This is Corina and Freddies engagement photo on fake nails.


This was a lot of fun to do and just think of the possibilities.  You could put on a picture of husband and wife and give your daughter a set to wear - a good daughter would be proud to have mom and dad on her nails...right?  You could put pics of your pets, girlfriend, boyfriend, your boss (I wonder if that would help at raise time.  If anyone would like a tutorial, let me know.

What else is new...Steph and I had a great time last night wedding dress shopping with Corina and had a lovely dinner with her and her mom.  We are looking forward to a fun day of shopping at the Lansdowne Farmers Market and attending Christmas in Merrickville on Saturday.

I'll be sure to share any interesting treasures that we see.

Sunday is Church day and I'm sure to hear from my friend George that I didn't accept his friend request.  Still working on my reason why so I don't offend him.  He really is a sweety.

Christmas decorating this evening.  I may just turn the furnace off so that it will be cold enough to feel like Christmas.  I know that there are those of you who love that we don't have snow but it is so close to Christmas that we need a little white out there.

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
