Calendar Girl Blog: Ice and Breast Photos
On Tuesday I mentioned our 'leg breaking weather' brought to us in the form of an ice storm. I opted to keep my limbs safe, on my couch, in front of my woodstove. Apparently not everyone used the same strategy.
For those of you new to freezing rain and what that means try this. Coat the entire outside world with a quarter inch of hard slippery ice. Then try to move around. In yesterday's paper, our fire chief claimed the department responded to "people with broken bones", then added "high heels aren't the best choice for this type of weather."
So I'm on my couch, on my ass, in my slippers, watching a fire, while other women are outside, in high heels, on their ass, because they've been trying to walk on ice.
Sometimes, often actually, our differences/similarities astound me.
Segue into breasts.
My 2007 photo contest has come to a close. What a joy to see such courage, fun and diversity in photographic form. I must say I still thank the idea gods for planting the photo contest idea in my wee brain way back then, during the prior century. Tis so much better to expand the creative landscape of the Breast of Canada calendar by embracing other peoples ideas.
The stories that come with the photos are brilliant to boot. Wild exclamations filled with insights, meaning and my personal favourite curiosity and discovery. As I've said before and no doubt will say again, given my propensity to repeat myself, we are so much more than we believe ourselves to be.
Calendar Girl is pleased to report that the ice melted. Rest assured, this will not deter Calendar Girl from assuming the previously mentioned couch/ass/fire/slipper position. As a wise friend pointed out, what better time to restore and rejuvenate than January.
Perhaps February.

Hi Sue,
The weather here in Melbourne is the exact opposite. It's hot, hot, hot. See my latest post.
We get cold here in winter but not to the point of things icing over. Cold enough to need a coat and an overcoat. I can remember standing at tram stops in the middle of winter just feeling miserably cold.
It's hard to remember it can be like that when it is hot like it is now.
best regards
Chris
