Long time, new year.

Wow, I think about stuff I want to blog all the time, then I get home, do a little schoolwork and play Tile Towers on Webkinz. BTW my username is mamaducksaysquack if you want to be my Webkinz pal.

Christmas was Lovely. Lydia had a cold but still seemed to enjoy herself. I got a good week and a half off which was nice. Started getting my office together finally. Got an easel so I could complete the painting for Lydia's room. I previously painted on the floor with my canvasses leaning against the wall but unless I want little hand prints to be part of the art I needed an easel badly. I got a nice one too. I feel fancy.

We got a ton of snow in the beginning of December and have pretty much been buried in it since then. There's about 2 feet still in the yard. Temps are supposed to get into the 40's this weekend so that balmy weather will have us swimming in the yard soon. I'm really excited about the garden(s) we are going to have. I will have a tea garden to the right of the front door and ornamental flowers to the left and at the front of the house. Then in the yard there will be a few veggies. Luke said he wanted to plant some corn and Lilly a watermelon and I want PEPPERS! It's hard to find poblanos around here and I want some chili relleno!

I know I should try to blog more but I really just am not in the mood lately. I'm going to go update Lydia's page though. Then....TILE TOWERS! I need to buy my raccoon, Frehley, a bathtub.
*Filling The Hole is a Duckism for that horrible empty filling that will not go away until you go buy something. Shopping for household needs at Target will usually do the trick but sometimes it has to be a little more extravagant. Related to "Getting the Kicks" or "Throwing the Daily Fit"
