On days where I don't work, I walk the 20 minutes to Yaletown to meet Mike for lunch. I wear boring practical walking shoes and walk through whatever weather Vancouver throws at me and usually arrive at the restaurant looking like I have just walked for 3 days. My hair is in a tangled mess of a bee hive and my lips are blue from the cold.

Today may have been sunny but it was windy and cold so I decided to drive to lunch. Even though it was very lazy of me and not exactly "going green" I just wanted to feel put together and warm when I sat down in the restaurant!

Within seconds of getting out of my car the wind hit my bangs and they were standing straight up in the air. I had to come to terms with the fact that I had failed in my attempt to arrive at lunch looking nice. I was destined to look wind blown.

You should have seen Mike's face when I told him I drove.

"Why?"
"BECAUSE I WANTED TO FEEL PRETTY"
"but"
"YES I KNOW. IT'S WINDY"

Okay so my plan may not have worked but our sushi lunch was delicious. That's worth something right?
