For the week of January 18-24:
WHAT I’M READING: Le petit prince by Antoine de Saint-Exepury à haute voix. A delightful winter read.
WHAT SIMON’S READING: He’s hiding in libraries and reading other people’s theses.
WHAT I’M WATCHING: A really average episode of The Daily Show. Blah. Now I’m feeling sour.
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO: Pump Elsie’s IQ music, which happens to be Mozart. For some reason she’s not digging it today. I’m just trying to give you every advantage, daughter. My IQ is just fine, Mama. Thank you very much.
WHAT I’M WEARING: My Roots up-the-leg-slippers, as often as possible.
WHAT I’M EATING: Fish pie. Once again courtesy of Marie-Claire, who has been indulging in Jamie Oliver recipes.
WHAT I’M ENJOYING: Here’s the thing. I am totally stumped. Which does not mean I’m not enjoying anything, it’s just that life’s little irritations are so much more prominent in my mind. And this is bad. I choose to un-stump myself and declare: I am loving watching Elsie bounce around in her tiger jolly jumper. She loves it and I love the few moments where my body belongs just to me.
WHAT I’M SNIFFING: Elsie’s bum multiple times a day. I cleanse my palate with a shot of whiskey. Okay, I don’t. Red wine actually. Okay, I don’t. Okay, both.

Hmm, for sure go with the whiskey (or in my case tequila) sure must make for interesting change times. I say pampers to all!!!
this is my favourite game:
what i am reading: i have one chapter left in “sweetness in the belly”. and i just started “the miracle of mindfulness” by thich nhat hanh. my theme this year is “mindfulness”. i am hoping for miracles.
what i am watching: i haven’t seen a movie in FOREVER. i still don’t have cable. but i will be watching the raptors LIVE tomorrow night!
what i am listening to: i CANNOT get enough of the kings of leon esp “manhattan”: the song they played every night at our favourite bar (EAZY BAR) at sunshine dive bungalows on koh tao… in thailand. it brings me back there in an instant.
what i am wearing: a lot of yoga gear lately. JUST IN CASE i feel like a spontaneous series of sun salutations. surprisingly, the urge comes on quite often. so this is working for me.
what i am eating: homemade tom yum gai with sticky rice/ quinoa combo. and red wine.
what i am enjoying: the thought of my new job starting soon! crap, i’m supposed to be mindful, which means living in the PRESENT. i DID wash the dishes just to wash the dishes today. my book told me to do that.
what i am sniffing: new car smell. specifically the VW tiguan. i test drove one today. vroom vroom!
