This and that.

I have a friend who posts little witty/amusing things that her kids say. (Her blog is in the blog list - napjunkiemom). I've been letting these slide past recently, without writing them down, with the exception of one:

Me: You're such a gigglebox!
Marcus: I'm not a box! I'm Marcus! With feet. And bodies.

On the lung front: mine are fine. No asthma. I had a cold (with a little wheezing) that started right before I had the methacholine test, which lasted about a week or so - and then a couple of days after that one was over, I caught another one. So there's something fishy about my immune system, and therein lies a big goal for this winter: to avoid being sick all the time. We're increasing the smoothies again (lots of dark berries!) and might attempt to make a few other dietary changes. I'm also trying to exercise more (which I was doing before the whole bronchitis/wheezing saga started). I went to yoga yesterday, which was nice. I'd like to do that more often. I suspect that the YMCA is the only place in town with yoga (*sigh*), and it only meets 2x a week - Tuesday night and Thursday morning. I'm tempted to get some yoga DVDs. So if anyone wants to research them and buy me one (or more) good ones for Christmas, that would be a good plan. Some sites to check out:
Someone's top 10 list
Interesting site (that Yoga kids ages 3-6 years looks cute!)

Christmas. Yeah. I'm seriously lacking enthusiasm this year. It's now the 12th and we haven't gotten a tree yet. If Chris were the only one in charge, I don't think we'd ever get one. I feel sort of obligated though, if only for Marcus. He should enjoy Christmas. We have some shopping to do this afternoon, and I think we will get a tree then.

Freya (the kitten) seems to be adjusting fine. (Thanks to Dad for the name suggestion, but I couldn't quite see her as a Memphis - and this name fits in with the name of our other cat). She had an "accident" in the beginning, but now she seems to be going where she is supposed to go. Loki still doesn't like her much, but the hissing has lessened significantly. LOL They often eat out of each others' food bowls now. Phantom, who has been undergoing many weeks of chemotherapy, has his last treatment next week. He's done very well - hopefully he'll live a few more years with no recurrence.
