Shoe of the Day

Seven days   until Christmas!   Are you ready?   If you are, could you help me? Please. Actually, I do have things pretty well under control. I have the wrapping started and the baking (sort of) started. I even braved the Christmas store on Wellington yesterday.   If you haven’t been there yet, you have to picture this lovely little house that has room after room after room after room of Christmas stuff.   It is a bit overwhelming even for me.   Didn’t find just the thing I wanted but then again, just because I can imagine something doesn’t mean that someone has thought of it…but they should.   I saw this hydro meter on the way to the store. Kind of ironic having so much ice on a hydro meter that keeps track of how many millions you own to Ms. Wynne.   Looks a bit like Alien doesn’t it.   Sort of like Ms. Wynne.  I need a tiny chandelier for the little house that Jonathan made.   Every house needs one.   I’m ...

Nothing brings a smile like polka dots.   Two blogs in two days...looks like I'm back. Did a quick run to the Rideau Centre after work and my oh my, the fashion...or lack thereof.   I saw WAY too many asses. All different colours and patterns.   A guy sitting in the Nordstrom cafe had his entire ass hanging out of his jeans. The jeans started at the top of his legs. One (or at least I) can only imagine the horror of what tbe front of his pantlessness was like. All everyone walking by could see was his underwear encased ass. Why wear pants at all? But thank you for at least wearing underwear!! Then there was the young man walking with his girl and is red underwear was hanging out.   Seriously girl, at least buy the guy a belt.   Enough about butts and asses. Maybe as the temperature drops their pants will rise. Then there is the new shoe fashion statement.   I could totally do this as I have a couple of pairs of shoes in dif...

Yes, I do own these beauties.   Wednesday ...half way to the weekend but so many hours left to go.   Can cross cardio off today's list - I ran for the bus.   So much has happened since my last blog. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and now it is almost Christmas.   Are you ready?   I'm getting there…slowly. The fam is going to Montreal on Saturday so I am working on my to-do list which will start after our buds Charlie and Eddie finish up their sleepover at our place.   We are looking forward to doing something Christmassy with them before they head home…better put on my creative hat soon. After that I am off for a pedicure compliments of Jaan - as my feet bask in the bubbles I am going to bestow the warmest thoughts on you Jaan.   Maybe I’ll put the Christmas tree up (well, into the tree stand. I love the smell of real trees. Then we can spend the week putting on the lights and decorations. I have a story.   ...

I am pretty excited that I have tomorrow off to start off the long weekend. I am also pretty sad that the weather is going to suck and I may not get to go to the beach (for the first time all summer!) But, I'll try to keep the excitement going at least for the next 8 hours to get through the work week. I hope you all have some exciting, relaxing, fun filled plans for the weekend. Some gym humour. Actually, this isn't me but there is a woman at the gym that likes to booty shake when a good song comes on.  Pretty amusing. Who the heck does wall planks?  In jeans no less!  Why do wall planks?  Regular planks are hard enough, right? HI HO, HI HO....

  I just couldn't do it today.  Couldn't get out of bed.  Hit the snooze alarm 3 times this morning.  No way I could make myself go to the gym.  What  would this be called?  Laggard?     Lazy?   L'Exhausted...only way I could figure out to add an "L".    When I was finally ready for work I checked when the bus was coming and it said 3 minutes.  I could do it!  Nope, apparently the bus driver was a Lead Food Larry (2 L's there) and went by too early.  Hmph! ticked me off because I missed it and because I would have loved to have had a driver that didn't lollygag on my ride. So what do you do when you have 12 minutes until the next bus?  Go back home?  Sit on the grass? Stare at your phone?  Nope, nothing like a nice brisk walk to log in some steps while waiting. I have loved putting on my workout gear in the morning since I have been going to the gym before w...

Do you know what I don't want to see at the gym? No, not her.  The cleavage.  There was a princess at the gym this morning who had way too much cleavage on display.  During the exercise where you use the roller thingy ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ODVEUMPHso ), there was so much cleavage on display.  She did a couple of token rolls and then stops, stays on all fours and starts booty dancing.  Seriously Princess! If you watched the video you will see that this guy rolled all the way out and back.  It is really, really, really hard to do.  I can make it half way and foolishly decided to try it all the way this morning.  Ended up like this.  Quickly looked around to see if anyone noticed...yes they did...back to half way rolls - LOL. Now this isn't your regular type gym.  People are there to sweat and work out.  It is not a nightclub where you are going to pick up a sweaty guy.  They are all there t...
