On one of my wonderfully lovely long days off I spent with Laura and little Tiago, having lunch and wandering around Whyte Ave. and painting. We met at the Sugarbowl for lunch, (where I discovered that the surefire way to make a baby stop crying is a soother full of creme brule,) and strolled down to 109th St. books. I picked up Jane Jacobs "Dark Age Ahead", Vonnegut's "Hocus Pocus", and Gabriel Garcia Marquez' "Strange Pilgrims". From there Laura got kick ass cowboy boots, we perused the rainbow racks at American Apparel and I got dressed up in royal blue. After that, we snapped up eggnog and mocha peppermint lattes at Starbucks, where Tiago took his first true step towards becoming a hipster and cried when we wouldn't let him drink eggnog latte. We also squished his pretty feet into green and black etnies.. so sweet, and I tried on beautiful silver antler jewellery. We got to Laura's and drank Saskatoon tea and laughed and listened to my friend Mike's band, painted and giggled and relaxed and got warm.. It was wonderful.
