Wow, it's been a really long time since I posted. Ah well, I've been busy. No harm done right?

Today I have the day off from "work" (I'm halfway through a 6 week physiotherapy placement at a private Sports Medicine Clinic in Mississauga) so I can't use the "no time to post excuse" today.

After getting some things done around the house, I decided to go and work on my tan a bit. I live in a basement apartment with no access to a yard, so when I want some tanning time, I have to either head down to the Beach (too lazy today) or head down the street to the local park. It's true that it can be a tad anxiety provoking to be in your bathing suit in a public park, but I figured no one would be around on a Monday afternoon.

I put on my bikini, packed up my blanket,my ipod, and some bottled water and headed for the park. As predicted, it was pretty deserted. So I set up my little area, smeared on some sunscreen, and laid back to listen to my growing list of unlistened-to-podcasts.

Shortly after I sat down, a big group of kids, presumably a day camp or something, arrived and set up a picnic fairly close to me. I was a little annoyed to have my solitude ruined by a bunch of rugrats, but couldn't be bothered to move. I felt a little strange lying around in a bikini around a group of fully clothed children, but tried to put the thought out of my head.

So I settled back down to listen to a string of podcasts called The Dawn and Drew Show, which if you haven't listened to, you should download immediately. They're hilarious. I was really in my own little world, listening to my ipod, in the sun.

After a particularly loud burst of laughter, I peeked out through my half-closed eyes to make sure no one had heard me laughing away to myself like a manic.

Standing about 10 feet away from me was a little boy, about 9 years old, who seemed to be looking at me quite intently. I opened my eyes all the way. The little brat was taking a picture of me with his cell phone!

I didn't know whether to be offended or flattered. Either way, the little brat scampered away before I could pull myself together and clock him one. Ah well, I hope he enjoys it.
