come thou fount of every blessing

today i am happy and energized because it's friday, and it's so cold outside that my nose is still red. i love winter, the snow, the chill, and the resulting comfort and coziness of wrapping yourself up inside a warm house (or office). i think a lot of it is nostalgia of christmas when i was a kid. i've been working on a poster for work today, and at lunch i went out and did some christmas shopping (shop local!) and rewarded my spending of benjamins with a big hot earl grey tea from this coffee place down the street.

since i quit drinking coffee about a month ago (cold turkey, the only way i ever do it) i have taken up excessive consumption of tea instead. i feel way better about a bit of caffiene from tea than i do from coffee, plus the flavours are amazing. i'm so hooked on earl grey but my number 1 is this sri lankan christmas blend from holland's fine tea in fergus. amazing!! i could drink this stuff til the cows come home.

i really, really love:
- avon catalogues
- handmade christmas cards
- bing crosby's holiday classics
- mandarin flashcards
- x-weighted
- when my cat sleeps peacefully with me and doesn't stick his paws in my face and start kneading
