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.

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.

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.
