not a flattering angle for anyone, not even cats

It’s been warm all this week and I set up a tall kitchen stool by the front window for the beasties to catch morning sun. The chair has a seat barely wide enough to accommodate the two of them, yet they both insist on watching the world go by from this perch, which results in bickering, the occasional smack with the paw, and begrudging co-existence.

… and so am I. Photos taken this morning. I woke up at 6am to try and get through my (photo) work, wash the dishes, finish the laundry, answer business email and cook meals at the same time. This is why I listen to CBC radio (mostly news) — to stay connected with the outside world without the visual distraction of a television.

Xena, Xena, what on earth is going on in your kitty brain?

As is evident by my lack of writing and photos, it’s been a busy week here at the House of Fielding. Rounds of prospective client meetings and writing lots of wedding photography quotes. Processing photos from first wedding of the year. Second wedding of the year coming up soon. Can’t wait to get away tomorrow! It’s been too long since I’ve been on a plane.

mom, he's bugging me again!

“Mom, he’s bugging me again! Make him stop!”

I’m off to shoot a wedding today which is particularly exciting for me because it’s orthodox. My anthropology education didn’t end when I stopped taking university classes, it’s continued through my travels and the work I enjoy the most.

Beano really does believe he’s an appendage sometimes.

28 Jan 2010 Caught In The Act

It’s taken me more than two years, but I finally got Beano on video drinking with his paw.

chair thievery is pretty blatant 'round here

Once I vacate the computer chair, this is what happens. These two are incorrigible repeat offenders.

handmade wine jacket

I’m in a food coma, fuelled by a couple of glasses of wine. I think I may pass out shortly. But before I do, here’s a photo of what I call the Liberace of Wine Jackets. Isn’t it fabulous? It was a handmade dinner gift given by one of the dressmakers we use at The Brides’ Project. I’m going to finally finish her website so she’s online, too. But for now, I’m going to succumb to this food coma…

… besides, I can’t get anything done with Xena climbing all over me and slobbering again.

Video for today: what happens when you eat too much candy, more than you’re supposed to! This kid is adorable.
