From Jennifer:
I’ve recently started doing something that I used to do 20 years ago and which, at that time, I would never have believed I’d ever stop doing. That’s how important it was in my life. I was certain I’d be doing it all through my college years, all through my adult life, and watching it become part of the lives of my children.

Another abbreviated day…
Currently listening to: Just the washer and the kitchen clock. Haven’t turned on any music yet, though I’m not sure why!
Mood: Good
Weather: Some clouds, but plenty of blue sky as well. 4 C down the hill in Trail, BC, so it may be a degree or two chillier at home.
Accomplished so far today: Morning nap to compensate for an unusual bad night’s sleep, laundry, organisation, a cup of caffeinated tea and more organisation!
Book I’m reading: In between. Finished Sisterchicks Down Under (Robin Jones Gunn) last night and skipped to the end of The Appeal (John Grisham) this morning.
Waiting for: Motivation? 
Hoping for: A trip to Castlegar soon.
Interlibrary loan request: Will probably request another Sisterchicks book today and then whatever is chosen at Christian Bookshelf for the April Book of the Month.
Temptation: Tim Horton’s hot smoothie.
Planning: Grocery shopping this afternoon. (How exciting.)
And now more cheating because I’m going to stop there and not finish off with all the info I provided last time! Ya want more, ya gotta ask!
I missed this way back when, but was happily caught up when I checked out the special features on my “Sense & Sensibility” DVD today. Emma Thompson’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was genius – she imagined Jane Austen’s take on the evening…
To read the speech, check out Wikiquote.
Once it’s all set up just the way I like, I’ll no longer be blogging from an HP Compaq Presario, but a brand-new Dell Inspiron 15! A few photos below, though what a challenge to get great shots with such a shiny case! Playing shy, it is. 
(And the colour of the case, Pacific Blue, looks a bit darker when it doesn’t have a light shining directly on it.)
Hopefully I’ll be posting soon about my thoughts on the new computer and Windows 7 as well. I’ll also need to test the webcam ’cause I’ve never had one, so I’ll want to check out its capabilities!
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”
