I go through all the Malcolmisms that my Dad has passed onto me througout my life, and try to figure out how they can help me as I take on this new Fatherhood Role myself, or something like that...

Flatter Than Piss on a Plate...
This is a Malcolm expression that deals with excitement - as illustrated by the lovely vision of bodily fluid on a eating surface - which is gross - but the expression is said like this to conjur the mental picture of flatness, maybe it is so flat because no one would want to touch it - anyways - it's about being less than enthused about something.
So the mood at the MacAfee house is a little flat these past few days, although we are super excited about the birth of our first child - we just want it to happen already - but all we can do is wait, and that's the hard part of all of this - waiting and the fact that there's nothing for us to do, because there is nothing we can do. So we wait...
The longest we'll have to wait is tomorrow at 7:30 - that's when they'll induce Nic - so hopefully we'll be parents sometime tomorrow.
In other News - Pilates is super hard, and awesome all at once - check out Pilates By Garda on Queen - they'll whip you into shape. The Esteem team is in full swing - I'm going on a tour of southwestern NB, which involves me doing 3 or more talks to kids a day for 5 days straight - that should be fun - I also found out that I'll get to visit Grand Manan, Campabello Is. and even Whitehead Is. (Home of Katie the Trainer - when she's not in Africa)- It will be great to get out there and try to relate some life lessons to those kids - there's a fantastic energy that kids bring to everything they do - that's the excitement that I'm looking forward to tapping in to.
I'll keep you all (the 3 People that read this)posted, and in the meantime put that plate in the dishwasher and find a toilet...
