The day after I got back from Vegas, I had just enough time to repack my suitcases to catch a flight to Toronto. I found Toronto exactly as I had expected – completely covered in snow, in a state of a beautiful, urban, winter wonderland. Actually, pretty much everything else about my trip home was free of surprises. It was just as relaxing and pleasant as I had hoped. It was so nice waking up to the smell of my mom baking and my dad making coffee. There are so many little things I miss being in California without them.

Expect the Unexpected
Something happened yesterday that made me pretty surprised and a little grossed out. I was having just another workout at the Extreme Fitness (Wellington location), followed by a 15 minute dry-sauna session. After changing out of my dirty gym clothes I left them in the locker while bringing my i-Phone and book inside the sauna with me. When walking back to the locker I noticed that it was half opened and inside it my gym bag was opened too, which I habitually zip-up before leaving. And guess what happened… Someone actually took my gym clothes – completely drenched in sweat and scrunched in a ball. It was a pair of lululemon yoga pants, that I have coincidently included in the look-of-the-day post for Nov. 18’09, and a white Adidas top with light green lines. Anyways, the description of the stolen items is inconsequential. My biggest question is: who would do that and why? I mean…gym clothes?…really? I’m not even going so far as to attempt to reconcile the moral dilemma of “theft as a criminal act” in general and I am in no way passing judgement on those who steal out of hunger or desperation. But ironically the Wellington location is considered one of the more upscale and exclusive out of the Extreme Fitness clubs. Go figure!
Flower scarf and thick wool
This morning I woke up with a newfound drive for action. It feels like I’m only starting 2010 now, but better late than never I guess 
. I have ambitious plans for today and the upcoming week. I’m starting by going to the gym this morning for an energy boost and then I’ll be crossing things off my “to-do” list.
Gloves
When I was growing up, all we had was mittens
Those fluffy simple things that keep you hands so warm
Functional and modest, a mitt is just a mitt!
But gloves, my fashionistas are swanky
Do admit.
