Twitching curtain
I was writing along when I noticed my curtain moved. I looked around the computer and saw this:
Look at that pudgy belly! She just discovered the joys of heater-lounging earlier today.
Christmas Music Recommendation: There's Still My Joy
The Indigo Girls have a Christmas album out. I only bought a couple songs, one of which was "There's Still My Joy." I discovered this song through an Oleta Adams xmas album, and it's SO touching. The Indigo Girls version is on youtube so now I can share with you. Yay! Highly recommended.
* Indigo Girls version
* Oleta Adams
* Roberta Flack (I think the song originated on this album)
I took my tree down to the shore
The garland, and the silver star
To find my peace, and grieve no more
To heal this place inside my heart
On every branch I laid some bread
And hungry birds filled up the sky
They rang like bells around my head
They sang my spirit back to life
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
For all my tears, for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy
For Christmas day
The snow comes down on empty sand
There's tinsel moonlight on the waves
My soul was lost, but here I am
So this must be amazing grace
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
Beyond my tears for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy
For Christmas day
There's still my joy for Christmas day

Another flashback: November 2007
Nov 1 - [guess i was sick] Last night I had to put on flannel pajamas, and three thick blankets before I could get warm (and it was 18 degrees during the day--so the apartment was warm.)
Nov 6: Grading 78 exams is tiring, to say the least. I don't mind grading that much, but not in these quantities... no one can like it in these quantities.
Nov 13: Where there is Aretha, there is hope.
Nov 15: Fernando and I were watching back to back episodes about a show of a couple with 8 kids. !! I don't know... amazing what sucks you in when you're depressed.
Nov 20: So my school friend (more of a war buddy, really--one of the four who survived stats together last semester) didn't win Miss Canada, but she won Miss Earth! It's all very exciting. So if you see her on CBC or CTV this week, remember that I know her, and that makes me famous by association. Which is all that matters, at the end of the day.
Nov 24: ... Jennifer Crusie is Calgon for the mind.
