A Beautiful Day

You'd think when your days begins with the sound of a puking cat it's some kind of omen.

Strangely enough you could say my day has been charmed. Charmed in the simple pleasures kind of way. Granted the puking cat happened far too early, but it turned out okay. Seems Zeus shares his mummy's predilection for vomiting, meaning just because you're chucking, it doesn't mean you're dying. So that was 7:30 a.m.. Once I determined that the furry one was okay, I employed the use of some new hair product from the Brilliant Brunette line, and enjoyed the artistry from Flip Flop Flyin with M.

My parents came for a quick visit, bringing the new bikes and our herbs for our herb garden (and my new experiment a tomato plant and a green pepper plant - let's try to forget that I hate green peppers and just be happy for the existence of a project, K.). Plants were put into their new homes and the four of us went for lunch and a walk in High Park, where I discovered that I had missed the horticultural event of the year (the one I'd been looking forward to since last fall) the flurry of cherry blossoms that would have just been so gorgeous lining one of the trails in the park. Alas. Someday I will walk through a grove of cherry trees in bloom. Perhaps I will be wearing a kimono.

After my parents departed to visit their new grandkitty, Finnigan, M and I made our way to Canadian Tire. Perhaps not a noteworthy thing, but it was thought provoking. See my Papa used to go to Canadian Tire pretty much every day after he retired from the Armed Forces. I guess he used to get the feeling of serenity I get from visiting China shops when he would peruse the products at CT. Given the frequency that I've been at CT in recent weeks, I feel a connection with my Papa. I wonder if he'd be proud.

So M and I came home, tricked out our new bikes then made our way to the cinema to watch Shrek 2, laughed a whole lot and came home to watch Philly get knocked out of their chance to the Stanley Cup. Yay! I wonder what the next two days of holidays will bring.
