Om mani peme hung is the mantra being recited right now. There are 8 mantras on this cd, chanted 108 times each, to make one mala (tibetan rosary) for each mantra.

I slept a ton last night: about 11 hours.

Hubby is not working and I dont know why: he has a TON to do to prepare.

The male voices are chanting on the mantras cd. 

It is raining steady. Hubby made blackberry ice cream from fresh berries but it is a bit disappointing; more creamy only (taste) than berry filled in taste. He may reqire a syrup of blackberries for it to truly catch on as flavour.
