Father’s Day!

Hello Daddio! Happy Father’s Day!

I know my (not-so-computer-illiterate-anymore) Dad reads my blog from time to time, and since Canada Post is still on strike and my Father’s Day card probably is stuck in transit somewhere between Ontario and Newfoundland, I thought I’d post a little something for him here. I’d like to start by reminiscing with him by posting some of my favorite photos of he and I together :)

Bowring Park, St. John’s Newfoundland. (Did my Mom dress me in adorable clothes or what?)

Summer 2004 when I started experimenting with my hair, and the terrible tanning beds.

Christmas lol…love all the images I found on my parent’s computer when I was home last (document imaging at its finest)

Happy Father’s Day to all the Father’s out there.

Do you have a favorite memory of you and your father? Do share!

A better perspective

… on my new shoes. Fifteen bones these babies cost, and they’re not too uncomfortable! Great deal, right? Ignore my weird bump on the side of my foot. My not-so-new Nike Free’s rub there ALL.THE.TIME and has caused a gnarly callous :(

Also – my nail polish isn’t an old-lady peach color.

It’s vibrant. Neon even. I took this photo the day I got my pedi last week, lol. Random….

YAY SHOES!!!

K I’m off to search google about Thyroid imbalance (not for me, for someone else!) Have a good one!!!

OOTWW

On Tuesday I wore the Mexx skirt. Wednesday I got a phone call saying it was 50% off. Read about my conundrum here. With the money I got back from my price adjustment I went into a store I’ve never been inside: Sirens. I just always walk past it—not for any particular reason. I just don’t go in. So when my co-workers and I were at Mexx yesterday, we popped into Sirens and I spotted these heels for just $15. I needed them. So I’m wearing them today! Love them.

Also? We we have three offices here spread out between different cities, and we all got together last night and had a baby shower for one of our co-workers, omgosh the baby gifts were all SO adorable. I ended up playing with the 60lb boxer for the most part. He wanted to be a lapdog. See? lol

[I decided to remove the image]

Can I just say that it’s very difficult to tame my hair in the mornings especially when I don’t wash it and want to wear it down? It’s not that it gets greasy. It’s just that I have two crowns on the back of my head and my hair parts in such a way that it shows the crowns — my scalp, and makes me look like I’m a balding 40 year old man. It took a long time, and I may as well have gotten a shower with the amount of time I spent trying to tease and hair spray my hair to hide the crowns. Lawwwdd. TGIF!

Also—today is mine and Scott’s six year anniversary! We’re not celebrating tonight because he’s been very busy at work the last two weeks and has a triathlon this weekend. We’ll celebrate soon :)

2005 when we started dating, and 2010 at a wedding!
