here is what I know for sure....(today)

"18 km and I feel great!" we shouted when we arrived at the door. of course who were we fooling. it was friggin' cold out there today, but we did it, got it done, and so.....here is what I know for sure:

this feels real good great! ouch!

and this is what we will be doing....with a little help from my friend:

tgif!

that does not really apply to my life as I don't work a m-f, 9 - 5 job. thank goodness! I love my life just the way it is! here is the latest on paper adventure 08. and poses the question "what's next? which is funny because of this. which only makes me think of six degrees of separation. which leads me to this. and then it ends. okay maybe not six degrees or whatever, but here it is:



and a little shot of the dog who fought the snow and LOST!:

odds and ends and bits and bites

crazy, crazy day yesterday......should have been the Jones soda fortune from Monday. here is what has occurred in the past 24 hrs.:

ran 10 km - best time we had in the past three weeks (1:15) and set a new goal to do 10 km in 1:00 by the end of the summer - woop!

had coffee with my running buddies and got my new running jacket with our groups name on it! SA-WEET!

talked to a lawyer regarding this and found out that my bon bon went to visit him at the hospital and presented him with a guitar signed by the band. which just proves once again that he is the most amazing man! like there was any doubt?

off to work where I find out that my crazy friend who has had issues with her knee since her last marathon went off and ran the disney marathon. there she was beaming from ear to ear with a big honking medal around her neck. so happy for her and quite shocked as she barely trained. unreal!

and then for the real shocker. a co-worker of mine was arrested for stealing. still can't believe it is true. so sad.

today? yeah, well....so far we ran 4 km and dropped the car off for new tires. walking home and one block away my cell phone rings and it is the tire place calling to say that my car is ready for pick up. ya gotta be frickin' kidding me! I decided to put my feet up for a few minutes before I head back out into the storm to pick up my car. and yes people to me it is a storm! snow is falling and cars are sliding all over the place. storm!

and to top it off I have this little guy go and make my day!



and I find out about this. not only can she run 10 km and talk the whole time, but she also takes beautiful photos.

and it is only 11:30 am!

"ART" Tuesday report!

certain souvenir?

don't forget to check this out today. been busy with ma, pa and the uncle visiting from Italy. I was doing my usual daily blog read this evening and when I came across Elise's blog it hit me....

my dear uncle came across the "perfect" souvenirs for la familgia back in Italy....you know, the cousins, the second cousins, the boys! ear/nose hair trimmers! no freakin' kidding! it appears that back in the homeland they are quite expensive and here they were a steal! of course the 20% coupon was only valid for "one" item. my mother says she is heading back to the store to see why in the hell he didn't get 20% of each trimmer. please make them stop! LOL! I can just picture it now...hey bepi how was your holiday? oh fine, you know, (cause this is something all Canadians say!) cold, you know, nice. picked you up a little something. a small souvenir. ta da! one for you Luigi, and you Mario, Alessandro, Giovanni and don't think I forgot you Angelo! LOL! oh yeah, he bought FIVE! I'm sure they will be gathered together at the local coffee bar oohing and aaahing over their new trimmers. I'm sure that a crowd will form to see what the ruckus is all about. ooooohhh where did you get those? how much? and finally WE will be able to sleep at night knowing that all the hairy nose/ears of my italian relatives are trimmed up! aaaahhh...nighty night!
