Wednesday Morning

Just got an email that tonight's run has been cancelled. Can't say that I'm disappointed. I know I would have done it, but I wouldn't have liked it. I am going to buy a treadmill.

Ca va?

Today I woke up and was grateful that I didn't have to go anywhere. We are still in the deep freeze. I rode the stationary bike for a bit and watched some guy get plastic surgery and some girls get botox on tv. I did manage to back up my computer. That took two hours. I was stuck because I forgot to close down my sidebar and with it running I couldn't complete the task. Duh! I read the newspaper from several cities. I can't believe how many jobs are out there in Alberta. Apparently the run tomorrow is still on. That is kind of sick, and not in a good way. I forgot! I also reviewed a couple of lessons from itunes podcast "Coffeebreak French". I forget what I learnt, but I would probably remember it if I heard it again. Au revoir! A' la prochaine!

A Love Letter...

OMG! It was 2 above yesterday! I can't run outside in that today. This global warming sucks! I miss you Nova Scotia! I miss you so much! Take me back! I'll be good and I'll never leave you again!

My "Andy Warhol" Rerun

I watched Factory Girl on the weekend. I'm afraid that I don't appreciate the original Warhol as much as this " look-a-like". To each his own.

Tuesday Afternoon

Apparently there may be a blizzard on the way. I haven't seen anything on t.v., but then again I don't watch the weather channel as much as I used to. It is cold here and it snows sometimes. It is fairly benign for the most part. I am surprised at how quickly we have adapted to this climate. My driving is solid. I don't travel too fast for the conditions, and I don't go so slow as to annoy other drivers either. I feel that the part of my life that is suffering the most is my running. Sunday morning ended a two month hiatus. I know that I will need a little more motivation to get me through this winter, so I have signed up for a running clinic. The Running Room sent the notice about the blizzard. I think that I am going to like this.

Before and After Or "Doing the Britney"

Sunday Morning

I went for a run this morning. It was the first of the year. (I don't count flailing away on the mini trampoline, although I do feel that it helped.) It was 10 degrees Celsius and I over dressed. Map My Run said that my route was approximately 5.88km. That is about half of the distance I used to run on Sunday mornings. I feel good though. It's a start. I plan to run the 10km in the Bluenose this May. It will kind of depend on whether or not I can get the time off work and that will depend on whether or not I get a job. Yes, I have started looking. Days off aren't as much fun unless they are days off from something and I really miss payday. I think that it will be good to get back to work. Today I feel really good.

Tuesday Afternoon

I wish that I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up.

Husband Training 101

I believe that it is important to provide the proper training and guidance to our young men. Women of the world unite!

Bathroom Reno Update

It is difficult to take pictures of small rooms. You can't tell from this shot that this is a 48'' wide shower. The stall had to go in at this point, or we would not have gotten it past the small wall that has yet to be built between the shower and the linen tower. The grey toilet was replaced by a white one, and the lino has been laid. The progress has been going remarkably well. The lead reno guy has been doing most of the work himself, as it appears that his staff is less experienced and slightly unreliable. (In his defence, I suppose that I should mention that he requires assistance to get to the job site and would probably be here if he could.) It is hoped that the entire project will be completed by the end of January.

Bathroom Reno Specialists

They come highly recommended. The price is right. I have seen some of their other work. I am not nervous about this. Not nervous at all.
