Whatcha watching?

So you only have Canadian Netflix or you've switched back because you fear getting caught with your American version illegally, whatever the situation here's what I recommend:

House of Cards
Scandal
Friday Night Lights
Nashville which has the Mom from Friday Night Lights, no idea what her name is but I enjoy her
Bloodline, which has the Dad from Friday Night Lights, whom I also enjoy
Orange is the New Black, 1st season is the best but all episodes will give you a chuckle. A better women's prison series is Wentworth but this is not a comedy FYI
Longmire 
Homeland
Suits
Rectify 
Daredevil 
Narcos 
Marco Polo
For a good laugh go with: The Mindy Project and Master Of None
The 4400
Sherlock, more British series I enjoyed are Downton Abbey, Luther, Wentworth, Call the Midwife, Happy Valley, Scott and Bailey
Jericho 
The 100s
Justify

Did I miss any TV show? Let me know:)

Is it all in how you slice it?

To me this is beautiful!
It's one of my favourite veggies, the red, orange and yellow variety that is, not green. The pepper!
But how do you cut your peppers?

Cut the top off then "core" it or cut out its insides?

Or do you just slice off the sides?

Or cut the sucker in half, take out the middle and slice it up horizontally?

Avoiding the tiny seeds everywhere is the goal for me.

Eating it there is no question: a bucket of hummus and I am good to go:) 
Elevated a level and quarter the pepper, spread some goat cheese, bake or BBQ and it is heavenly!!!

Yum peppers!

But not green:(

Dr, Doctor or just kick ass Docs?

It's Wednesday! what am I wearing?

So I finally bought myself a pair of Doc Martens.  As a back to school gift to myself I bought these ones that were on sale @ SoftMoc.com. Wasn't sure about the floral design and the comfort level. Thought they would be stiff and cause blisters but they are light and awesome!
I have wanted a pair since high school and now I finally got them!!!
They're what I am wearing!
Thinking of getting Daphne a matching pair:)

This guy:

Yes I ran the Sears Great Canadian Run on September 12th as a member of Team YMCRuns. I had the BEST support from this guy:

Mr Paul Grant!!!!

He said yes to coming, he booked the hotel, printed every leg of the race off, he also printed all the maps needed to get to Collingwood, after dropping the dogs off at my Dad's in which he met my Dad and Bev for the first time, he bought all the food for our adventure... Then on Race Day he got me to my Exchange Point #8 to start, then drove the car to my end Exchange Point#9. He was planning to run back to me (10k) from Exchange Point #9 to #8 but luckily he got a ride from Teammate Erin's hubby.  He would have run 20km if he had ran back to me. He ran by my side, he ran behind me and in front off me. He took pictures of me every 1/2 KM.  He listened to me whine when I said I couldn't do it. He carried two of my shirts, my phone, my jacket, my water, as he said "I am your mule." With a big smile on his face.

He understood when I snapped at him to go on without me "Because I need to run alone!"

He was there at the finish. Got me an apple, water and continued to snap pictures.

This guy:
Is the BEST!!! 
That's why I love him!!!

Wanna run a 100k relay? Ok you do not have to run the whole thing but be a part of a team that works together to complete the 100k.

On October 3rd Sears Great Canadian Run is happening from Ottawa to Montebello.  Funds raised go towards CHEO and to #EndKidsCancer.

Oh and after your run you can go to Parc Omega!  My happiest place on Earth!
