I Survived... But I'd Rather Be Retired!

I've made it! I've survived the first day back to work, a first day for many of us and a day the world came awake again. I think so many of us were off over the two week span of Christmas. Not only did I survive, I made it to the gym and had a real good sweat! LOL I wouldn't of wanted to give me a hug after I was done! Now the downside, or maybe its the upside I've got a very slight cold. Upside because at least it waited until the holidays were over. Downside, who wants to be sick? Hopefully I sweated enough of it out tonight.
Tomorrow its weigh in day, Taekwon-Do and Cardio Taebox!


Now since I'm still stitching top secret stuff... another PhotoHunt (boy I'm spoiling you guys lately!). Photo Hunt #134 - Blue


This is one of many tulips decorated by local artists and celebrities for the Annual Tulip Festival in Ottawa. I quite fell in love with this one, it was very striking! By the way, blue is my favourite colour (if you hadn't already figured that out)!

  6. You were far better than me - after my first day back after a two week break, I could not drag myself on the treadmill. Good job!

  9. Hi Dani,

    Sorry to hear about the cold.
    Keep warm, drink orange juice
    and get plenty of sleep and
    hopefully it'll go away without
    getting any worse.

    Saw the picture of you (Old/
    New Me) and just about fell off
    my chair! WOW!!! You look
    fabulous darling!! (to quote
    Billy Crystal) You've worked
    so hard to get this far and it
    has certainly paid off. Well
    done!!! I'm so happy for you.

    I see the ceremonial emptying
    of the ORT jar has occurred.
    This means that the New Year
    has well and truly begun. I
    love your New ORT jar but
    wonder...do you intend to fill
    it to the top?? It looks
    pretty tall.

    Half way through Paradigm and
    it looks fantastic. The blue
    colour really pops in your
    photos of this project making
    the motifs really stand out.
    Good choice of colour.

    I went back to work yesterday
    too. Groan!! We're up to our
    eyeballs in work. Which meant
    overtime. I'm ready for another
    holiday.

    Hope the storm due to hit us
    tonight doesn't cause you too
    much trouble tomorrow. I think
    your area is going to get it
    worse then ours.

    Cheers!!
