Our cat Norman Crystal got spayed and we had him run around in a handmade dragon costume, so he won´t lick his wound. (you can see that here: http://blog.vanillerygarden.com/2011/08/meet-our-pet-dragon.html) I adore my two furbabies. They come to me in the morning and purr their way into my sleepy head until I get up to make them breakfast, after that we cuddle a bit and I get up to make some tea and breakfast. That´s the thing: the cats are so beautiful, they make my fingers itch and I want to draw fur. (does that sound like I´m insane? Maybe I am!) Hours pass by, it´s just me, the mechanical pencils and the scratching noise on the paper. Making delicious organic salad and watching Lost In Translation before I go to bed early. Perfect bliss.Natalie Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987570896492857738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238010957754489042.post-1983235211010537922011-09-01T03:39:28.286-07:002011-09-01T03:39:28.286-07:00a perfect day that I had was the day I had a full ...a perfect day that I had was the day I had a full booking of clients (bookings with all my favorite clients) and then a nice relaxing dinner out with my boyfriend at our favorite Italian restaurant.

I am by nature a person bursting with happiness. So why should today be anything but a perfect day?<br /><br />I haven't done anything too spectacular yet. But there's always joy in the little things, right? <br /><br />I'm visiting my parents house in Michigan for the week. The weather is perfect today and it's just humid enough that you can hear frogs and crickets all day. I'm about to pick up my dog from the groomers, so he'll be extra cuddle-able. Aaaaaaaand I found some leftover potato salad in the fridge. Score! I also just got off the phone with the grandmother and it happens to be her 82nd birthday. Birthdays should always be perfect days, even if it's not even mine.<br /><br />As for the afternoon, I'm gonna catch up with friends, one of whom is gonna treat me to the best hot fudge sundae in metro Detroit. Tonight, I'll probably go for a nice evening bike ride.<br /><br />Not bad for just an average day. I'd say it's gonna be pretty damn perfect. :)<br /><br />Sending you sunshine!<br />- Julietteyumyumjellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148489173810746459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238010957754489042.post-66689950318103895482011-08-29T10:19:53.724-07:002011-08-29T10:19:53.724-07:00Thank you Sandra and Jamie for this generous givea...Thank you Sandra and Jamie for this generous giveaway!

We went to a part where there's a big lake, spread out our blanket on the shore and ate sandwiches, and pretzels, and carrots & celery sticks. Then we looked along the pebbly beach and found lots of lovely pebbles and a few perfect goose feathers. We walked over to the long floating dock to check out what the fishermen were catching (not much), and enjoyed the way it wobbled on the waves. We headed back to the car, and planned to leave the park, but luckily one of the doors of the car didn't quite close.<br /><br />We pulled off into a side parking lot to fix the situation, and we were all delighted to spy the most amazing playground. The kids spent another full hour playing. I enjoyed watching them, and left wishing they made adult sized playgrounds like that!anikahttp://www.aisforanika.com/b/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238010957754489042.post-30064327886084732622011-08-24T15:58:36.976-07:002011-08-24T15:58:36.976-07:00Hello.

I decided I wanted to see Coney Island but no one else wanted to so I decided to go on my own. I took the train all the way down and found a copy of Vice on a seat to read on the way. It was a really moody overcast September day so the sky was awesome. I put Tom Waits - "Coney Island Baby" on my ipod and wandered down the seafront. It was amazing i felt so free and alone, but that day it was perfect to be alone. I sat on the beach taking pictures and then spotted the aquarium. I spent the afternoon looking at fish and the best bit was some divers that were working on the glass in one aquarium. Their kit looked so old. I got the train back home then got ready and went out to this club night it took me ages to find in an old massage parlour. That is where I met the skinny white duke and took some of the best pictures I ever have taken. in the morning I had to get on the L wearing the same clothes as the night before and then do the walk of shame down 5th.

When we'd finished there, we said goodbye to our friend and went to the bf's Nan's birthday dinner.

I've been struggling with depression for a long time, and so good days are difficult to achieve, and then even remember. But on that day, I was happy & energised; we went for a walk along the sparse cliffs, and I sucked the fresh air into my lung, and breathed in the aroma of nature, of the outdoors. I felt real, for the first time in a long time. Then, we watched the film My Dog Tulip with homemade popcorn amongst fresh bed sheets. It was beautiful, and I felt happy.<br /><br />Sarah Louise (sarah.stevenson@live.com)Sarah Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784221872814641431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238010957754489042.post-18373628502276685062011-08-24T08:43:27.607-07:002011-08-24T08:43:27.607-07:00Every day is a good day when I am surrounded by be...Every day is a good day when I am surrounded by bears of the brown, spectacled, polar and panda variety.
