Day 37: Harbour Sixty

We were *thisclose* to going to Harbour Sixty tonight, but somehow ended up at Terroni's. S'okay. It was very good.

Day 36: Vacuuming is dangerous work

Please wear your hard hat and satin skirt while engaging in this risky activity.

Day 35: Future Half Marathoners

Tonight was the first night of our half marathon running clinic!! Here are my running partners. They kick all kinds of ass!!

Day 34: The Daily Table of Junk at Union Station

Commuters will buy anything! Every day, there's a table set up at Union Station where vendors sell their junky books, clothes, jewelry, kids' toys....and people flock to it! This crap would never sell if it were in a store. Anything to delay the start of the work day and fulfill the need for consumerism, I guess.

Day 33: Pedicure joint in February

This is the scene at the local pedicure joint in February. We will comapare and contrast in July.

Day 32: Staff Room

This is for my sister's benefit. Her break room is kick ass...pool table, Ikea kitchen, space age chairs, some kind of supersonic coffee/hot chocolate machine. It was the kind of place you could hang out for fun on a weeekend. Here's mine. And this is the new and improved one! Not even a window. We just got new furniture because the old stuff was flea infested...at least that's what I heard. It was definitely over 30 years old.

Day 31: I told her so

Here's a picture of my first running partner. She laughed her ass off at me because of my big watch (Garmin). I told her she would soon be a believer. She said no. It took 8 months, but please take note of what she's sporting on her left wrist.

Day 30: Ballerina

Sorry to be too kidcentric, but that's the way the last couple of days have been. E started ballet and she LOVES it...so much that she burst into tears at the end of the lesson.

Day 29: 4 years ago, my life changed forever

My daughter turned 4 today. She insisted we go to a Mexican restaurant...some little hole in the wall in the 'hood. No McDonald's for this girl. She's so international!

Day 28: Guns and Effing Roses!!!!

Tonight was the Guns N Roses concert at the ACC. Of course, I went with my partner in crime. Here she is with "Slash". Hah!

And here's the man of the hour...better late than never. He showed up around 1130. He's looking pretty middle aged, but I assure you, his voice is as whiny and awesome as ever. Axl Rose!!

Day 27: My New Scarf

I've got nothing today. This is my old/new scarf. I found it in a box I forgot to unpack when we moved here over 2 years ago. I love it!

Day 26: Runaway

My not even 4 year old decided she was running away from home today. Wow! I was at least 5 before I attempted running away. Kids are growing up so fast these days! Being the stellar mother that I am, I knew I had to capture this milestone on film. Sorry it's blurry, but she was on the move!

Day 25: Trying not to cry over spilled milk

Damn, this is the kind of thing that pisses me off. Jake left a glass of chocolate milk teetering on the edge of a shelf in the fridge. As soon as I opened the door, it spilled everywhere.

Day 24: Disney Show

It has become a tradition that we take the BFFs to a show together around the time of their birthdays. Today we went to see Disney Playhouse Live at the Skydome. E's BFF's little brother tagged along too. Fun!!

Day 23: Italian Night!

We went on a most amazing Mediterranean cruise last fall with 2 other couples. We've decided to to try to relive that experience with some culinary delights and wine from each country we visited. Pam and Adam hosted Italian night and everything was delicious!! I think I volunteered for Greek night, but honestly, I had so much Italian wine, I can't even remember for sure.

Day 22: Face of Bravery

This is my friend and co-worker modelling her Saudi Arabian head scarf (hijab?). We went out for her farewell party tonight. She's on her way to the middle east for a year! This is is her second gig over there, so she's totally down with it. We sent her off with a steak dinner and a proper night of drinking and debauchery in a gay bar on Church Street. Much fun!!
