It must be moving day...

...in Owen Sound. It's the end of the month. Some people would have a probem piling all their earthly possessions onto the sidewalk, outside their apartment, in the pouring rain:



Then again, some people might also opt to hire a moving van and not a cab to haul away the contents of their home:

Photography 101

Yesterday the radio stations hosted a Grey Cup Party. It went well. There was a bar, we fed people and there was lots of prizes to be given out. Here is a photo of one of the winners with her door prize:



If you'll zoom in, you'll notice the best part of this photo is how I managed to accidentally wander into the frame....here, let me zoom in for you:



I am such a dork. And not photogenic.

I tried out a new recipe....

....last night. It turned out sooo good. It was a Tomato Bisque (soup). I had never made it and at first it looked a little iffy. The boy christened it "Risky Bisky".

I watched this lady....

.....for an entire traffic light cycle, all the while, trying to figrue out if her hair was supposed to be like that or if it was just the wind. The only problem? There was no wind.

Before & After

So we just re-painted our bedroom. We only just painted it a year ago. When we painted it the first time I tried to step out of my comfort zone and actually use a real colour. Not white, or off white, or beige or tan or camel or brown or grey or greige (grey & beige). So I choose a pretty blue colour that I saw used in a store display.



I liked it for about two weeks. Then I regretted my decision and pined for a nice soothing, boring NEUTRAL. I got my wish last week. Our bedroom is now coated in a fresh coat of "Elephant Skin":



The boy is obviously colour blind as he maintains he sees NO difference in those 2 colours. Whatever. Oh, I also got my lamp up too. See?



He still hates it. I still love it. But as I mentioned he is colour blind. And those colour blind folks can't be trsuted.

The Tim Horton's Drive Thru lady....

.....almost had an aneurysm this morning. I must have been parked at the window for a good 5 minutes while the line-up behind me got longer and longer...and while she tried to figure out what she had done wrong. She actually snapped at me twice. It was scary. Her co-workers kept trying to soothe her but as I drove away she ripped her headset off and had her hands over her ears. I sure hope she's alright.

Slow day at work?

I've mentioned this website before but the link didn't appear to be working. If you are having a slow day at work and looking to kill some time, might I suggest the following:

Family photos are awkward at the best of times...and these ones are the cream of the crop. Here's just a sampling.....



As these two can attest, no one can resist the allure of denim.



Is that not how she got herself into that predicament in the first place?



Even the branch would have to agree that this is getting awkward.

You're welcome.
