Ever watch Blue's Clues? Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper had a new baby! His name is Cinnamon! And he's soooooo cute! Paprika is a big sister now! I love that show! LOL Yeah, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I've finally lost my sanity and have found amusement in a pre-school children's show. That's what happens to you when you hang around children day-in and day-out. I have a valid excuse, however…it keeps me young. ;-)

Something major has happened and things will never be the same again. I've been carrying this certain burden for so long, and I've been stressing about whether or not I should keep it to myself or share it with someone in confidence, but things just sort of unravelled these past 2 days that I felt relieved to not be the only one who knows anymore. God is good, that's all I can say. And things definitely happen for a purpose.

Call me the Karaoke Queen…LOL I went with a friend of mine to her cousin's house for a birthday party, and as soon as we walked in the door, she told me that I couldn't leave until I sing karaoke. After getting my grub on, my friend's cousin set up the karaoke machine so we could start singing. Well, whaddya know?! They have I Will Always Love You, sung by Whitney Houston, on laser disc! Of course I HAD to sing it… It never fails, it's like a curse, everytime I go karaoke-ing (if that's even a word, lol), I always end up singing that song. But hey, I ain't complaining one bit. I love to ham it up, well, once-in-a-while, with the whole karaoke thing. I even have my "money song," Nobody's Supposed to Be Here by Deborah Cox (a fellow Canuck). Anyway, I knew I wasn't gonna be able to leave that place without doing one more song…LOL So, I did Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me complete with her Quebecian-like (okay, so I don't think that is a word either) accent…LOL
