Change in Plans


I couldn't stand the idea that Cathy Zielske was so close! I drove down to Buffalo this morning and met Lorraine for the Vendor Fair. FANTABULOUS as usual! We went for coffee and as I went to the ATM who did I spy? The incredible Cathy Z!!

I felt like a complete doofus asking her for a photograph but I was compelled. I had to do it. She is my absolute all time most favourite scrapbook celebrity EVER. I was positively giddy. Much to Lorraine's amusement.

She took the time to chat and laugh with both Lorraine and I. Her parents are from B.C. and most of her family is Canadian. We gave her accurate information about how long it actually takes to get to Toronto. She was told 2 hours or more from Niagara Falls - we told her to cut that in half and that it was a "must do" at some point.

I apologised for missing her class the day before and assured her I picked up the materials to do the project. According to her, I "only" missed some raunchy jokes and off colour comments. I'm even more upset with myself! She made mention about making her blog 'edgier' and a bit more 'raunchy' to which we responded that the Canadians would love that! She agreed that the Canadians would indeed 'get it'.

Funny woman. Immensely talented. And now, I can say, with first-hand- knowledge, delightful!
