Last week I went to Toronto for a teeny tiny break. While visiting, John and I went to see the film 'Crazy Stupid Love' which I liked for the most part, except I thought it got a little silly near the end with the graduation scene. Ryan Gosling in spite of portraying a slick womanizer was super cute and that makes me a statistic doesn't it? Anyway, after the film I was standing around waiting for John to locate his jacket that he left behind in the theater and that's when it happened.....I got a 'disapproving look'. I was wearing white jeans and it was after Labor Day. It took me about a minute of trying to figure out why this lady was glaring at me with raised eyebrows and pursed lips but her repeated staring at my lower half eventually gave me enough clues. And so we have 'mean movie theater lady' to thank for these paintings.

This would happen to me if I had more than one dog. Actually, it happens to me even when I'm only walking Finnegan. I'm always amazed when you see someone walking a few dogs, plus wheeling a stroller and holding a toddler's hand- oh- and drinking a latte. It's like it all hangs by a thread. One wrong move and the whole set up could end up with stitches and a head wound.

I can't quite explain why I'm painting ladies in their underwear these days. Maybe it's the warm weather?

Even though I really don't take many weekends off , I think I'm going to give it a try for this one. It's been a long week of painting and it's giving me stiff shoulders and a wonky neck. I think I'll try and do the standard things like going to the market and perhaps even cut the grass. This will fill John with fear though as the last time I cut the grass, I ran over the power cord twice and almost got electrocuted. This incident caused John to study my every move for about a week and determine that I might have ADD or something of that nature. Basically, I don't pay attention to what I'm doing because I'm constantly being distracted, or I simply lose interest and walk away. Earlier in the week I somehow managed to get our coffee maker to explode all over the kitchen which I didn't even notice. Coffee grinds flying, hissing, smoke, and a funny smell didn't even tip me off that something was terribly wrong. I got in big trouble for that one. Sniff.
