Neon Brights

Guess who managed to get a mini-tan after enjoying so much time in the sunshine last week? Sadly, that weather didn't last and we are once more experiencing the cool, rainy weather that's so typical in Vancouver. Nevertheless, I didn't let the gloomy weather stop me from enjoying the bright neon shades that I can't wait to rock during the summertime (and my vacation that's in less than a week)-- I wore this bright pink skirt, my neon Joe Fresh necklace, and this lovely shirt that I picked up on sale at The Gap last week. While it was a good attempt to ignore reality and pretend that it was summer, I reluctantly had to change into pants and boots before I could head downtown for a dinner with my coworkers. 

In other news, this morning began with complete normalcy until I got to work and had to deal with the most bizarre situation. While we interact with many odd characters who regularly pass through the mall, this was the first time in which I had to deal with a wild bird being released into a nearby shoe store! A random woman had insisted on "rescuing" some poor bird that apparently had been run over by a bus. Her solution was to corner the bird and place it into a cardboard box so she could call the SPCA. Strangely, the injured bird was healthy enough to fly out of the box and elude the store employees and maintenance crew for a good hour or two. On top of all that, she insisted on hanging around my workplace and repeatedly telling me the confusing story of how she rescued the bird instead of attending her nail appointment. Finally, I got rid of her by suggesting that she go into the shoe store and help them recapture the bird since she was so "experienced." Well, at least there wasn't a dull moment during the whole thing!

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and work in some fun activities. I plan to visit as many Vancouver attractions as possible for the Tourism Challenge, as well as to prepare for Miami and the Bahamas as I leave for the trip on Saturday! How are you planning on spending the week?
