I don't always land on my feet, but this time I hit the ground running.

At the end of the week I'm going to be face painting at a craft fair  So last night I decided to sort through my makeup and body art supplies (which was also influenced by the purchase of some new makeup...that Boots consultant at Target was amazing!)...

This was the result...of the sorting that is...

It also covered a good portion of my hands and arms....at 11:00 at night....RIGHT before bed.....some of my best work happens when nobody is around to see it. Which I suppose makes the term "best work" debatable. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around...blah blah blah...

I go outside every night to look at the stars and think, pray, BE.... Last night, all did up like a character from Cats, the musical! ...I'm laying on the driveway and all I can think of saying to God at all is, "meow". A few minutes pass without any consequence, when I see a shadow out of the corner of my eye. The next events happen in the span of about a nano second.

Shadow seen...thinking to myself, 'I've seen fox around here, coyote, a ginormous buck, antelope, dogs, skunk, do bears make it this far east?'....I sit straight up....staring at me not 3 feet away is a huge black fluffy cat, which jumps in the air vertically and changes direction, runs a block away.....I also jump vertically in the air and land on my feet.....forget to breathe...... In a nano second...that's not much time! ....to have a HEART ATTACK!!

I'm quasi running back into the house with a last glance up at the stars thinking....... "you're hilarious, mister".
