Another quote!

My boss sends us quotes every morning - and to be honest, I look forward to them.

Below is one of the quotes he sent a few weeks ago:

"Your life becomes the thing you have decided it shall be."

– Raymond Charles Barker

Decide what you want for your life and take action!!

Thought it was fitting for my blog!

Thanks Joe!!

Winter Hike!

Sunday I went with a few friends and our dogs to Larose Forest for a Hike. The weather was beautiful! It was not too cold, with snow falling.

This would be the 2nd hike for me since starting the list(#20) - Three left to go and I can scratch it off!! Winter hikes are a much bigger workout. It ended up being about a 2 hour hike. Dogs were tired, and so were we! :)

Below is a photo of me and my dog Winchester, and my friend Jenn.

Love me some Maki Sushi!

Last night my friend Liz & I went out for my birthday dinner. We decided to go to a new Japanese restaurant.

I've never had Japanese and I thought it would be a good opportunity to cross off #70 off my list: Eating with chopsticks!

For the appetizer we sampled Maki sushi, Nigiri sushi , and Albacore. The main course was Tempura Morawasi. Thankfully, the pieces were bigger - it made it easier to eat with chopsticks!

Enjoyed Japanese food - can't wait to try something else next time! :)

Olympic Torch Relay

I had the amazing opportunity to watch the Olympic Torch as it passed through the City. It was nice to see the community out celebrating! There were some very talented people on the stage! Wish I was able to take better photos.

Snowy December!

I was speaking to someone who lives in Florida the other day on the phone. We were talking about the weather - I mentioned that it was snowing. Her reply: " I wish I lived where you live". Funny, Canadians complain about the weather being too cold, too hot, too windy, too snowy, to rainy. This year is one of the first years I'm going to take advantange of the snowy weather. Yes, I will learn how to cross country ski - it's on my list.

In the meantime, thought I'd post a photo I took while walking my dog.

Beautiful world we live in!!

Just sayin'

I love wearing clothing that has meaning behind it. When you read the piece of clothing , you almost have to read it twice or say "that is so true". Below is a photo of me wearing one of my favorite shirts - and I love what it says.

Please don't pay attention to my facial expression and focus on the meaning on the shirt ;).

Reading & RHU

#12 on my list is to get my RHU (Registered Health Underwriter) designation & #13 on my list is to read 30 books - so luckily I get to kill two birds with one stone ;)... although I love reading and will probably read more than 30 books by the time this challenge is over. I just like to cross things off my list.

Below are the 3 books I have to finish. I have 3 tests to complete and the exam is Jan 15th - so I better get at it. Procastination is evil. :)

I'm half way done the RHU Book - I will post when I actually finish the tests/exam!
