Wishing you were elsewhere?

Look what I found online.  Hmmm...a stocking stuffer or two for someone you are fond of?

If for some reason you would like to own this T-shirt (like strangely, you just want to make me really happy), you can purchase it for $19.99 right here at Cafe Press  (or the bumper sticker with the same sentiment for just $4.99 right here).  Or how about this little journal in celebration of Morocco's beautiful tile work, zellij.  Yes you said?  $10.99 right here.  Or maybe this Moroccan door mouse pad? Just $12.99 right here. 

If only clicking on the mouse pad could transport you to Morocco so we could have a glass of mint tea together.  ~Sigh~ Do you think that will work a hundred years from now?

P.S. Update:  Well, now that I have begun to talk about the possibility of *magical* transportation that might take you all the way to Morocco, what do you know, I have been tagged by my very favorite witch, Lexa.  Thank you, Lexa for thinking of  me.

The meme is as follows: 

1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open to page 123, go down to the fifth sentence.
3. Post the text of next 3 sentences on your blog.
4. Name of the book and the author.
5. Tag three people.

The closest book to me was First Things First by Steven Covey.  This is what I found on page 123:  A woman who chooses to have children and be with them can transcend the painful chronos mentality dichotomy of children or career.  She becomes energized by the vision of her mothering role as a significant contribution to society.  She develops character and competence that empower her to fulfill other roles as well.      

Now dear readers, lest you think that I am not a good mother, I want you to know that I worked with Tristan on his spelling for over an hour yesterday, helped Skylar with her ABCs, read them two stories, and sang them two songs. (So glad you were not there for the latter, which included the debut of a made up song called Oh Mr. Chocolate.)  But okay, universe, I hear your message and will try to do better. 

I would like to tag the following:  Nunu's Mum, Brittney and Claire.  However, I would really love it if others would do this very fun meme, too.  Those without blogs could leave a comment here (and do tell us if your findings are meaningful) and those with blogs, let us know so we can see what your magical message might be....

OK, here's my response to your meme:

5th sentence on page 123: "The National Allocation Plan (NAP) was submitted to the European Commission on March 31, 2004..."

Book name: "International Review for Environmental Strategies; The Kyoto Protocol" Woo-hoo! Go out an buy it now!

:-D Nice one! Apparently they can transport quantum material now, so not so long until we have Star Trek beams zapping over the world!

Now I see why you were looking for meaning... does that mean my life is meaningles? :-D

I've added the lines round my sentences, so a little context can be placed...

Hi Maryam! I love this meme and will try to do it soon. I've seen it float around the blogosphere lately. I'm busy organizing a Christmas Eve Blogblast for Peace. I hope you will join in. See my post tomorrow! I'm so excited.
