Well, I didn't think it would happen, I thought I would come home and find C under a blanket on the couch, a glass of wine in one hand and the remote in the other, saying I know I promised but I was so exhausted by the end of the day and all I wanted to do was come home and relax, and I can't get up right now because Ernie (our fat cat) just got settled on my lap, I could see it all in my head even as I trudged my way home, but sometimes luck is on your side, and luckily for me my birthday fell on C's day off, and I, in some kind of miracle, got my requested birthday cake. Of course I still had to cook my own supper, and rent my own movie, but one can't ask for the world.
C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *
What a lovely cat. You can't mess with the physics of a cat in your lap though, birthdays included. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Miracle! Cake Miracle! I am so mean, I can't stand Christmas Miracles anymore. Old and mean I am-and I have a big cane I like to shake at little children-I can't help it.
