The Minion Blog: Blessings

March 9th, 2010

From me (yes, I wrote something!):

There are still 318 days until Christmas 2010, but lyrics from my favourite Xmas movie popped into my head this morning:

“When I’m worried and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings”

My day, in abbreviated form

March 3rd, 2010

Currently listening to: Imma Be by Black Eyed Peas

Mood: Very good!

Weather: Overcast, 8 C.

Accomplished so far today: Walk, fresh fruit and produce, dishes, clean windows, bake muffins.

Book I’m reading: The Blue Castle, L.M. Montgomery. (Fave of all her books, multiple re-reads.)

Waiting for: New laptop!

Hoping for: New glasses through ClearlyContacts.ca giveaway.

Interlibrary loan request: Sisterchicks Down Under, Robin Jones Gunn.

Temptation: chocolate and/or ice cream.

Planning: Knight Rider episode with Reese’s Pieces (if they’re not devoured sooner).

Loving: Ben’s smiles, Tim’s giggles, Brad’s sense of humour (since it matches mine).

Currently drinking: Celestial Seasonings Peach Apricot Honeybush

Last meal: Lunch was scrambled eggs, toast and apple slices with peanut butter.

Wearing: Light blue t-shirt (with Nelson Pilots’ Association logo), size 14 (petite ’cause I’m short) jeans, off-white sweater.

Wondering: Why jeans are size 14 and pants are size 12 (or less, since one pair keeps sliding down).

On TV tonight: Dragons’ Den. Bones is a repeat again?!

Have you checked out my photo gallery lately?

From Shawna:

I never knew, until just now when I looked it up for this blog, who had written a phrase I have muttered countless times. I feel the truth of this phrase more and more of late.

From Anna:

Some or you may or may not know this about me, but Music is my life. I’ve been playing music since I was still learning my ABC’s and I actually went to University to study music. I guess given that little bit of information, it should seem not that strange that I turn to music to inspire and help me write.
