Admit it...you've missed me.


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.  Grab yourself a coffee/tea, a cookie, a banana or just put your feet up for a few minutes and read along…



My story is about a guy at work.  Let's call him Mr. Lasagna. 


He's a nice guy, we share gym guy stories on occasion. So, yesterday Mr. Lasagna was heating up his lunch while I was making my zillionth cup of tea.  He was regaling me with a description of the amazingness of his lasagna.  It truly did sound amazing - smelled great too.  He finishes up, puts the lid on his container to keep it warm on the way to his desk and out he goes.  Five seconds later he is back and shows me his empty container.  I will admit that for a second I thought he inhaled the lasagna.



He told me to look in the hallway and lo and behold…there in a giant splat was the lasagna on the carpet.  Poor Mr. Lasagna. 
 
I couldn't help it, I laughed and laughed.  I did locate a spatula so that he could scrape the dearly departed off of the carpet.  That was helpful, right?  Then I laughed all the way to my office.  I guess it would have been nice to offer him the apple I had in my lunch bag but I didn’t think of it at the time.
Later in the day Mr. Lasagna and I happened to be in the galley at the same time as he was making oatmeal.  It is a staple in our office. Maybe along-side the coffee and tea they offer, they should offer packages of oatmeal. I'll put that in the suggestion box.  Do we have a suggestion box? I suppose I could suggest we get a suggestion box but where would I put the suggestion box suggestion without a suggestion box?

Back to my encounter with Mr. Lasagna. I made a remark about him replacing his amazing lasagna with oatmeal and he says "maybe you should blog about it!!"  I think it was too soon after the lasagna incident and his feelings were still a little raw. 
 
I realized that it has been far too long since my last blog so here we are.  Thanks Mr. Lasagna!!
Please send your good thoughts to Mr. Lasagna today and with luck he will have an incident free lunch today.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

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...
