It's the last day of January and I figured it would be a good day to review my reSOLUTIONs.

  • One of my many resolutions is to Blog more regularly. Let's say that regularly is once every 3 weeks. WAHOO, I'm on track. :) @3 entries - well 4 if you count this one - in one month. Effectively once a week is pretty good right?
  • Another I decided to start early in November, I've actually kept. So far so good. @Hit a few of my milestones already but I'm not quite ready to give it up just yet.
  • I've got to get more pics taken to put into lil'A's "Year 1" album. Hopefully I can keep that one. @Uh, working on this but she is just so busy and gets a little ticked when I pull out the camera.
  • Olympics - Going to make at least one visit as a family,cuz Bruce Allen guilt'ed me into it in a Reality Check today. @ Can't do much until Feb 12 hits
  • Going to try to get a bunch of flowers in the kitchen at least once every 2 weeks. So far on track. @ None since cuz we've been a sick house. Still working on it.
  • Clean/Re-org a piece of the house a week. Am ahead of schedule although none of you would notice. So far, it's 5 kitchen drawers. Does that mean I get a 2 week by? @Lil'A's room is re-organized now.
  • Potty-Train lil'A within 3 months (wish us luck - Jan 10th was our first WAHOO!) @She's doing 2 or more a day already, but she has yet to tell us when.
  • Get lil'A out of the crib and into a "big-girl bed". We went to IKEA today and should wouldn't get off the bed. She freaked out when I got her back in the cart. She just kept yelling "NIGHT-NIGHT-NIGHT". I'm thinking DING or Check within a week or two. @Bought bed a week or so back AND this weekend we put it up. Her room is a little tight (with both crib and bed). She didn't sleep in it last night because it was not done up. Although I have been sick with a REALLY nasty cold, I took a bit of time to make up her new bed for her and Daddy to have some special time tonight. SIFF A choo!
  • Divest our house of "baby-things". Lil'A has become a big-girl and she has cousins coming in March/April. Different stuff to different couples. Can't wait to de-clutter just a little. @Am making lots of progress on this. Adding lil'A's bed in the room made us change a lot of things around and pull stuff out.
  • Oh, and take down the Christmas stuff. Uh.... still working on that one. :) @Uh.... and STILL working on that one. Other priorities. Maybe before the end of the Olympics.
Well, that's how things are right now. We did however purchase a big wardrobe for our bedroom (tax credit - wahoo) to give our room a MUCH needed makeover. Maybe the feng-shui is off but we need a change and it's a-coming.

Well gotta go. Head-ache from congestion is getting to my eyes.

Big Apple here we come!!!! "Start Spreading the News"

It's now officially "bought". R and I are going to New York City to jump a boat and head south May 18. We 're going around and round out there in the Atlantic for 9 day tour. (anyone got a pic of Gilligan in their heads?)

We then come back to terra ferma in the Apple again. We're staying 3 days at the AWESOME Dream (hotel - but they don't use the word - they just say DREAM). Tickets to "Wicked" - WAHOO! I feel like I'm "Defying Gravity" hehehehe. hint: Glee and Musical reference.

We might even make it to the opening week of Cirque du Soleil's "Egg" (I think that's what it's called).

I really hope we'll need less suitcases this time (smaller clothes help with that). :) Less cargo to carry around NYC is always a good thing especially in trying to get to JFK.

So Big Apple here we smaller come....

And thank you in advance to the g-parents for having a great time while we're State-side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our performance to the Torch Relay is getting ever closer. R went and got me our Canadian Olympic right gloves. If anyone is planning on coming, You actually be able to see me. In our last of 3 songs, I get to work with 6 other people to lead the audience. If you're there and I spot you not singing . That all I'm saying.

OLYMPICS START IN 2 WEEKS EXACTLY.
GET YOUR SPIRIT ON!!!!!!!
GO CANADA GO!!!!!!

Lots of interior reno's bought but not quite on the go yet

No, we're not talking procrastination here (although those of you that "used" to know me "BC" - before child - I was just that such thing).

As you know we got the "big girl" bed over the weekend. While we were at IKEA, we saw that wardrobes went on sale (20%). If you've seen our master bedroom, you'd know that the owner/builder was CRAZY. An en-suite that is WAY too big and NO wardrobes at all in the bedroom. Last owners left us really terrible old, old, old, IKEA'ish wardrobes.

Yesterday, Lil'A and I met my mom (Gramma) went to get this thing all bought before the Tax Credit deadline. I had to pick all of the internal pieces up first but then got to send them back to the big pieces. Then they delivered them TODAY. We have IKEA boxes all over the house. SHEESH.

Hoping to get at least one of the projects done over the weekend. This should be rather entertaining with lil'A in the mix.

I do get to get rid of Mom's TV box out of the dining room on Friday.

One box down....... 24 to go........

Maybe this is OUR Olympics. To me it seems light the weight-lifting gold metal up for grabs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BTW, on the Olympic front, I'm honoured to have the opportunity to sing at the Torch Relay in Richmond with ROCA at Minoru Park (aka O-Zone) on Tue Feb 9th 7-9PM. If you're interested, let me know for more deets. Note: Rick Hansen is bringing the torch into the O-Zone.

A few to-do's yes, but doable I think.

Wish the Websters luck.
