Of Keys and Friends

Day two of being the bossy pants boss at work. Tote that barge! Lift that bale! Ok, I didn't say that. We got cupcakes instead.

Sweater: Danier from Value Village
Blouse: Joe Fresh
Skirt: Chalet from Cha Cha Palace (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Wonder | Ayers (last worn here)

A rather subdued outfit today other than the bulbous skirt.

I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since I wore these shoes. I'd say I should wear them more often, but when you have a lot of shoes, it's hard to repeat them without neglecting the others and that make them sad. Sad shoes are not something you want to encounter.

I like this better without the cardigan but it's necessary in an air conditioned environment.

Today I locked myself out of my house. I had dumped my purse out at work trying to find something and I guess I didn't put my keys back in and when I got home I had no keys.

I tweeted my plight and my friend who lives up the street from me offered to pick me up and give me beer but I thought I should wait for my neighbour to come home so I could get my key from her. Then my friend S. tweeted that she had my key and that she would bring it to me.

I have nice friends. I need to let them know more often how I appreciate them beyond a drunken "I LOVE YOU GUYS".

Can you, can you taste the summer?

Now that it's almost July, we've had another warm weather day. It was about 29°C today, but warmer with the humidity. Hot, hot, hot!

I didn't start the day wearing this - I was wearing a red and brown dress when I went grocery shopping (twice a year, whether I need to or not) and in the produce section a very sweet young woman asked me where I got my dress. Unfortunately, I bought it in a local shop that is now closed. Anyway, I sweated through that dress so I changed into a t-shirt and shorts. But after dinner, we went out for ice cream at Marble Slab Creamery so I put this on.

Cardigan: Danier via Value Village
Dress: The Gap (about 2 years ago)
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa
Wine: Fetzer Zinfandel

I didn't really need the cardigan - it was more for "modesty" since the dress is a racer back and sleeveless.

My backyard is a mess. When we bought this house in 2004, I was so excited to do some gardening. Turns out, I don't really enjoy gardening. When you garden you have to go outside. And when the weather is conducive to gardening, it's usually sunny. I don't like being outside in the sun.

So, my back garden is overgrown and has been taken over by gout weed and deadly nightshade. Such a shame because it used to be so nice. Maybe I'll get off my duff and dig it up. Or maybe I'll just sit on my deck (with my Christmas light still on it) drinking wine and not caring about the garden.






Tomorrow is Canada Day! Happy Canada Day (or Dominion Day in my parent's village)!
