Sitting…on the couch in the living room.
Drinking…nothing, but I’m eating a bowl of Kashi cereal with sliced bananas for breakfast.
Listening…to the wicked wind. It’s unusually warm for January, but what good is that if there are gale force winds?
Thinking…that I’ll wait for the wind to quit drifting the snow before I go out to shovel the walk and driveway. My ambitious neighbour woke me with his shovelling this morning, and now it looks like he’ll need to shovel again. Once in a while, laziness pays off.
Anticipating…the rest of January. I love January because things are slow, slow, slow. Nothing gets me more excited than a blank calendar.
Also anticipating…oldest daughter’s birthday dinner this evening.
Reading…18 Words by J. I. Packer and The World-Tilting Gospel by Dan Phillips. They are not as different as you might think.
Considering…starting a novel, too. Any suggestions for a good novel for someone who doesn’t usually read fiction?
Avoiding…anything that smacks of year-end retrospection or new year resolutioning. There will be no 10 top of 2011 posts from me and I’m pretty sure no one will be dissappointed. I see year-end retrospectives as useless (and mostly boring) space fillers. Kind of like status reports.
Needing and wanting…a new sewing machine, but I don’t know how to shop for one. The best thing, I suppose, would be to shop locally, but there isn’t much here. And Canadians don’t have as many alternatives for online shopping—or as many good deals—either.
Getting up…because even though my calendar is blank, my to-do list for today isn’t. And besides, the dog needs out.
