Who Needs Toenails Anyway?!
Just registered for the Victoria Half Marathon Oct 7th!
I needed a boost to get my butt in gear again and a friend texted me to see if I was 'still in' for the Race in Victoria
Thats all I had to hear.
Turbo training since its in less than 6 weeks.
I'm already getting the same blisters as before; in all the very same spots and somehow the familiarity is comforting.
It'll be kind of cool to do a half on each coast of Canada.
Besides, that toenail is annoying me there in all its completeness and struggly little attempts to grow back to its full potential... :-).

you know what really perplexes me?
how my mother,
a domestic goddess
exceptional seamstress - made my clothes as a child, and you'd never have known the difference. smocked dresses for my baby sisters that stopped people with inquiries on the method and threads used.
phenomenal cook - we, regardless of finanical upturn / downturn, ate like royalty. no hamburger helper in our house (well, sometimes and it was a glorious treat). she'd dress a salmon like it was going to medal in the food olympics. and she made a simple salad into an event, we'd stare in wonder as she magically turned lettuce and cukes and cherry tomatoes into something of a magazine worthy photo shoot. i don't know what she did when she made a tuna sandwich, but i've yet to find one of its equal.
cross-stitcher extrodinaire - remember that crafty little craft? she was quite adept at the complicated little designs and perfecting all those pesky stitches. she taught me how (once), so i made a strawberry. it was proudly displayed on the wall in my parents ensuite. (read: at the furtherest corner of the house lol)
the list goes on
my point is:
all these genes - why is it that i can't even successfully flip a pancake or omelette??
i no unnastannn .....

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words - or Fifty Years
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/75-captivating-looking-into-the-past-pictures
I have a weird facination with the past - it plays tricks with my mind - like how people made money, how little things cost, etc.
When I found this today on my newest mini-addiction, I thought it was so cool and wanted to share it.
Truthfully, I mainly wanted to post it so I wouldn't forget where to find it on www.buzzfeed.com.
But hope you like it just the same :-).
