* Technology was NOT my friend last night. FaceTime and Skype failed me and then Blogger went ahead and did so too! I'm telling you, I SAVED and SAVED and SAVED my post and it all disappeared COMPLETELY once I hit "publish". Not sure what happened, but I'm sure it involves some techno curse that haunted me all evening.
* Nory is still not feeling 100%. The good news is that she is starting to sleep through the night again (mostly) and we are slowly catching up on some Zzzzz's. It will be nice when she is able to wake up without such congestion and coughing. And when she gets her appetite back! Poor chicken. It should be impossible for a baby to catch such a never-ending cold!!!
* Phil's teams played their first games of the season on Monday night. Nory couldn't make it due to her cold, but she must have left some lucky vomit on Phil earlier that morning because both teams WON! I, embarrassingly, suffered from a clapping injury before the end of the first game (out of practice, I suppose), but I persevered and remained a solid cheer-squad member until both games had finished. The next game isn't until February, but the boys have a tournament in Bahrain coming up next weekend. GO BULLDOGS!!!
* Movies we've watched lately: Frozen (AMAZING!), Adore (SUPER WEIRD), The Internship (FUNNY, BUT TOO CRUDE AT PARTS), and Saving Mr. Banks (GREAT!). Now that Oscar nominations have been announced, we have the same intention we do every year: to view all of the nominated films prior to the awards show itself. We NEVER EVER seem to accomplish this mission, however, and it's due to the fact that Oscar movies are.............BORING/STRANGE. For the most part. In my opinion. So - after about 10 minutes - each Oscar movie is usually switched off, as my husband suggests we watch something a little more "Lindsay-friendly". He's the best. And he's helped to create our annual, awards season tradition! HA!
* Sometimes I abbreviate "Kumari Poppins" to "K-POP" and it gives Phil and I a really good laugh.
* I've had many friends and family members tell me about the extreme cold back home. Ew. I feel bad for you. But I feel happy for me. That I am here and not there. Because I sit here in warm pajamas, with a housecoat on top of these warm pajamas, and a blanket on top of my warm pajama/housecoat combo......and I'm sipping on a coffee.....and I'm STILL a wee bit chilled. This proves that you would likely not want me there either. It would be a complain-fest like you've never seen it before! HANG IN THERE, all of you REAL CANUCKS!
* I can't believe I haven't wrote this next blurb yet. Nory is basically walking! I say "basically" because I'm not quite sure when you can deem your baby a "walker" with 100% confidence. She is taking more steps with greater balance and confidence than ever before and we've lost track of any "consecutive steps record" because she's been so swift. Does this mean she WALKS? I think so? Although she sure does take her fair share of tumbles. Like the one last night. Nose dive. Crying fit. Google: "how do you know if your baby broke their nose?" Not nice.
* This weekend is only a one day weekend, as we must attend a P.D. conference at school on Saturday. I foresee this ONE-DAY-WITH-NORY-ONLY time being nothing but terrible.....
* Being a Mom/Dad is THE BEST. We can barely keep our eyes open (HELLO EXHAUSTION!) and I still have nothing but INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF LOVE for Ms. Eleanor Douglas. She's such a heart throb. And in some magical way, the smiles she spreads have this stress-eliminating, happiness-inducing quality that makes everything better.
Time to get ready for work. THANK GOODNESS IT IS THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
