- The last sliver of a truly breathtaking pecan pie.
- Sarah McLachlan’s arrangement of What Child is This/Greensleeves–it is more haunting than the original.
- The new booster seat for little she-who-is, which enables her to buckle and unbuckle herself.
- Today’s rehearsal with Small Choral Ensemble at church. I brought the girls to give R a little break. C sat shyly outside the room and munched on peanut butter crackers while M toddled around, charming everyone. Her patience lasted until the very final run-through, during which she got extremely, well, vocal. I sang while swaying her on my hip, hopping from side to side, balancing her on my head (baby hat!), and whatever else I could think of. I haven’t moved that much while singing since my Cheesy Show Choir days in college.
- The divine miss m’s divine new pair of molars.
- The fact that R is working on my blog redesign. It will be fun to move into some new digs.
- The chance to see Casino Royale over the weekend. Very enjoyable Bond movie. I enjoyed the New Yorker review: “I cannot prove it, but I suspect that God may have designed [Daniel] Craig during a slightly ham-fisted attempt at woodworking. His head is a rough cube, sawed and sanded, with the blue eyes hammered in like nail heads.” This is true–and his head seems too small for his massive body. But I liked the movie a lot.
- Today’s Poet’s Choice column in the WaPo.
- The Sunday Source section featured an article about writing a good ‘holiday letter’ and recommended haiku, which I did back in 2001, so there.
- Most of us seem to be on the mend, even though R and I sound quite pathetic, what with the ongoing (and usually simultaneous) coughing. I was back at church today with the assumption that whatever I have is no longer catching (please God! because what could be worse than a contagious clergyperson, shaking hands and giving hugs at the door? Thanks for coming, and may the flu be with you).

I totally agree on the Greensleeves arrangement. I really love it. I also like her “Wintersong.”
Just spoke with your bro’ L…he sounded awful…pray for him! I think R was right..this thing some of you have is definitely the flu!
re the last non-violent dot: This is why I keep hand sanitizer in my office–so those contagious congregants don’t turn me into contagious clergy. LOL. After I shake hands, I sprint to my office for the hospital hand sanitizer from Northside. It kept me alive in Egypt and it smells like pure alcohol, so it seems to be good stuff.
loved the Bond movie
and your parting comment made me l.o.l
blessings
as always, glad to read you!
What a great list!
I am about ready to buy a couple of those handy booster seats for my two munchkins. I just wonder how often they will unbuckle themselves while my eyes are on the road!
Preacher Mom well names the drawback on the self-buckling…
I was too sick for the Bond movie. Can it wait for Netflix?
good, good stuff.
(So when you’re well, do you ask that “the force be with you” as they exit the premises?)
Yes, self-buckling is definitely a mixed blessing!
The Kid loved the James Bond movie, but I haven’t seen it yet….somehow no one can replace Sean Connery in that role (yeah, that really dates me!)
