Resolutions are for Rewinds

How many times have we all made resolutions at the New Year's party. How many have we all kept passed the first week? Ugh!

• 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. :)
• Another I decided to start early in November, I've actually kept. So far so good.
• I've got to get more pics taken to put into lil'A's "Year 1" album. Hopefully I can keep that one.
• Going to make at least one visit as a family, cuz Bruce Allen guilt'ed me into it in a Reality Check today.
• Going to try to get a bunch of flowers in the kitchen at least once every 2 weeks. So far on track.
• 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?
• Potty-Train lil'A within 3 months (wish us luck - Jan 10th was our first WAHOO!)
• 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.
• 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.
• Oh, and take down the Christmas stuff. Uh.... still working on that one. :)

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

Wish the Websters luck.

Christmas Pictures

Sorry not saying much these days. It's been a very busy Christmas week. This week is the same. Rich is wrapping up his stuff at SAP and starts at his new career company Indicee. Yes, you read it right. Rich resigned from "Crystal/Seagate/Business Objects/SAP".

I know everyone want to see pics our lil'A at Christmas, so please press here.

Music Music Everywhere!!!! - "Life in the Fast Lane" -the Eagles

It defines our life these days. Lil'A and I haven't had a day with nowhere to go. (Ok, today is an exception - hence my blog).

With my standing appointments 3 times a week, have a "Manic Mommies" chat every other week (just because we're all so busy), and swimming, we're swamped. So many others too but they escape me right now.

As for my music stuff. Here starts the busiest time of the year. Not only is it concert season, it's also Advent (the 4 weeks before Christmas). Then of course, there's the whole song-fest on Christmas Day.

Tonight is the start of the fun.

• We have our Dress Rehearsal for our "Gift of Carols" concert on December 13th at 3pm at the Pentecostal Church.
• Then on Saturday, it's Dress Rehearsal for the same concert (Gift of Carols) that we will performing on Tuesday December 8th at 6.30 pm at All Saints Church in Ladner. I actually have a fun solo for this one concert. It will be fun. It's a fun take on a true Classic :)

For both concerts, I have auditioned with my friends Robin, Lindsay, and our new friend Brian for a quartet. The song will allow 3 sets of quartets to alternate verses. It is going to sound REALLY neat. Looking forward to these concerts.

For more info on the choir I sing with, please check out Richmond Orchestra and Chorus Association aka ROCA's website.

If you are interested in attending either concert, please let me know (email or FB or the old try and true telephone - dare I say it). If you have none of these contacts, just comment here and we'll work out some communication method)

Usually by this time of year, I'm down in the dumps because of the weather and feeling like I'm overbooked and confused. Music, parties, trying to figure out how to see or at least chat with our 4 families in one day. This year, many of these issues were decided for me. That takes a load off my shoulders.

It's allowing me to spend more happy time with lil'A and big'R :) and Packers too of course.

Also, if your inclined to join a Christian celebration on Christmas morning, I am also singing with the Holy Rosary Cathedral's Women Choir at the 9.30 am mass.

Well, off to dress rehearsal #1.
