Flu is taking over the house

Lil'A and I have been living in the family room these days. I've been clutch by a bad flu/cold/whatever that has kept me coughing until I couldn't speak.

I can now speak but the humidifier has been running 24/7 so that I can get the stuff moving.

Lil'A is coughing too but you'd never guess she's sick otherwise. Tinkerbell, Ratatouille, and Cars are all movies she wants to watch and nothing else. Oh, and Monster Inc.

It's so cute. She is singing Twinkle, Twinkle. The funny thing, is that each verse is slightly different. First verse is "Tinker, Tinker" and then "Tinkle Tinkle". Hey, I'm good with verse 2. We're working on the potty situation right now. 2 times a day right now. Not bad I think.

Just in case I don't get back to blogging later this week, Birthday Wishes go out to "Auntie Kare" (Karyn Gert) and Gran from lil'A.

Well, "Ni'Ni'Time" is coming up. Gotta get ready for the torture (new bed issues for lil'A).

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!!!!!!
