<---- needs a nap.

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Been napping on and off all day. Hoping this cold goes away! A week is too long! Tonite a junk food bar family night. lol Sounds silly but movies and junk food are needed when all of us have had a rough week at school!

<<~ catching a second wind
(will take cat nap tomorrow)

[lusciouskiwi]

Could do with a nap myself. Even though it's 9.16am on Sunday.

<<~ I had such a nice day today: I made some homemade potato salad tonight for me and my son, made some very delicious cheesecake as well, and just enjoying the peace I feel tonight. But guess what?? I happen to come across a band called "The Ultimate Bearhug" - I've already listened to a few of their songs (I'll Be Your Woman & Sunshine) and right now I'm listening to: "Heaven Knows"

I'm tired but yet can't sleep.

I'm reading Huckleberry Finn in bed listening to my boy dog snore and make noises while he chases something in his sleep.

Monday ... I can't say enough bad things about Monday's

[Leigh]

Up & getting ready to head to the gym

[Kelt]

It would seem that fall has arrived. Here that means a heavier fog bank and 10 degrees cooler.

Enjoying an excellent cup of coffee and deciding to add a sweater for this mornings adventures on the beach.

I hope everyone has a good start to their week.

<<~ woke up to a very chilly house this morning and while closing the patio doors, discovered it had rained overnight. It's very cold outside, right now. I'm going to make some hot cocoa and snuggle in bed with a good book today....

eta: was just sitting over in the 'what are you listening to' thread and getting my chocolate fix listening to Lady Snow, KayCee and Spirit Dancers morning music (good vibes, for sure!)

[Kätzchen]

<<~ says it's time for me to head back to bed and snuggle with my blankets and a good book and make some more hot chocolate. Maybe add a few more blue sparkle moments to that mix too.

*ciao*

[Kätzchen]

<<~ has not been doing too much reading in bed today. I did happen to notice though that I have 13 friends here online with me right now.



In other news: The sun finally came out and my baby boy bird is out in the pine tree singing a rather annoying song right now. He usually sings a sweet melody. He's probably distressed that he might have to fly for miles and miles to find a new home soon.

Feels like forever since I was last in Kuala Lumpur. And I haven't seen my ex since ...? April at least. It's been ok. Staying at her place tonight and will be ok - as long as she doesn't try to kiss me. She was pissed off at me this afternoon for texting and "not talking to her". Oh the delicious irony of that statement!

I bought a new battery for my camera and a new card reader. Wanted to buy a new teeshirt but gave up - the cheap ones are made of nasty thin fabric and I didn't like any of the more expensive teeshirts/tops.

I often find clothes shopping stressful. I'm either not fat enough or too fat. Can't win. But my ex introduced me to her ex-boss who works in a women's boutique and do made-to-order. So maybe there is a perfect dress out there that doesn't make me look like a sack of spuds.

I've quite enjoyed being in Bukit Bintang - a little bit of familiarity when I'm always a stranger.

<<~ I just made a nice cup of coffee, had some fresh fruit (an orange and some strawberries and a banana) with toasted slices of sourdough that I smeared with tons of butter. *yummy*

I'm also listening to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings...

Story goes that Barber wrote this masterpeice when he was 26 yrs. old.
That, later in life he dedicated it to his dead wife. And that, in 1936,
Toscanini conducted the first performance of it at Rockefeller Center in NYC.



and finish my morning time by listening to....

Sergei Rachimaninoff's acapella arrangement of Ave Maria.

[Sparkle]

<---- made an awesome salad for lunch today: baby spinach dressed in a light olive oil and white balsamic vinegar with tomatoes, baked chicken breast, half an avocado and hand chopped almonds.

for Katzchen (I love Barbers Adagio)



forgot to add: the good salad makes up for the truly appalling breakfast choice I made this morning....
for future reference - chocolate dipped pomegranate seeds are not a good substitution for blueberries in one's plain greek yogurt. For real.

That salad sounds absolutely lovely and so does the chocolate dipped pomegranate seeds and blueberries and greek yogurt!!!!

*LOL* You are so sweet and a lovely, lovely cook!

I hope your puppy is being adorable today
as well as those little cherubs you know too
and that sunshine reigns in your universe today!

[WingsOnFire]

I am finally home in bed with my leg propped up on a pillow. I have a 100 pound Moose (mastiff) on one side of me and peppa curled up under the blanketskeeping my feet warm. Hysterical crying over pain is finally over. I don't wish to do that again thank you.

The crutches they gave Damon are too tall. Thank goodness the Bear has a pair. I'm ready for food, water and a nap in that order.

[Kätzchen]

<<~ Oh Happy Day!

I am ready for work today:
I practice my talents here, before I go
(proof submitted below).

*cheers*

Wow, I so need to check into my hotel and have a shower and a nap. Really hope I don't have any problems checking in since I forgot to bring the booking confirmation with me.

The traffic here is so quiet and civilised. It's lovely after the madness of Malaysia. Glorious temples and monks in bright orange robes. The traditional architecture is lovely. Folks are nice - although getting the tourist visa was fun. It was ok, not a moment, but really, three people to take some money, print out a visa and glue it into my passport? People have to have jobs I suppose.
