Canada Geese walking across California Avenue

There was a small flock of Canada Geese strolling across California Avenue on my way to work this morning. By the time I got my phone out of my purse to take a picture, most of them had walked across the street.

Sorry about the grainy pictures. It's the camera in my cell phone, after all.

I had a birthday on Friday

Yep, birthday number 41. As most of you know, I'm usually on vacation on my birthday because I don't like a big fuss made over me, but, due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up working last week. Dina had the "brilliant" idea of having a Department gathering with cake (mmmmm... chocolate......) and gave me a beautiful plant arrangement. Pics are here.

Lorne and I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum. Great movie...needed popcorn. ;)

TTFN,

It's not just the Monarchs that are out en masse...

I'm a campus celebrity...

The University's DailyNews published a story about my fundraising efforts for my hair cutting adventure, coming this Sunday. Tory J, University phtographer extrodinaire took a great picture, as always. Now that I think about it, there have only been two pictures of me taken in the last five years or so, that I actually liked, and Tory has taken both of them.

It's here.

Monarch Butterfly and Funny Bandit pic

How cool is this? I came home this afternoon and found a Monarch butterfly fluttering around my yard.

While I refilled Bandit's treat food container, Bandit put her head in the bag, and got stuck. I had to take a picture. Sorry Bandit, I'm putting it on my blog.

TTFN,

I'm getting my hair chopped off for charity

Yes, you read correctly. On August 12, I will be getting my hair chopped to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. The event is being held at Colasanti's Tropical Gardens in Ruthven.

Email, or leave a comment, if you'd like to make a pledge.

I'll post pics (before, during, after) next week.

Stay tuned
