new year updates

so.........i'm really bad at keeping this all posted and updated.........so here's the update from the past month or so.........

-it was a board game kinda x-mas...........for the kids, i made board games out of fabric and glass pebble thingys...............researched rules offline...........seemed to turn out pretty well!!

-it was also a cookie kinda x-mas.............i made a batch of rum balls, batch of sugar cookies, batch of gingerbread, batch of shortbread, batch of mocha, and a double batch of peanut butter.........and also these chocolate sugar cookies shaped and baked around hershey's kisses........divvied these all up and gave them as gifts................who doesn't like getting cookies??

-it is becoming a organizational year..........we received gift cards, and promptly spent them on bookshelves. we now have a 9ft long, five shelf high wall-o-books down our hallway............and we have lists as to what comes next to get the house in shape.............at least, some shape other than tornado.........

-as an organizational year, i'm also trying to organize my personal life...........i have a daily planner, we are keeping several calendars, and i even put whiteboards on the fridge so i can keep to-do lists easily.............i hope it helps..........

-we are redoing the monkey's room..........she just hasn't gotten here yet to see what we've done to it...........we put our old wire shelves in her room, to hold her toys.............and we are planning to build her a loft bed, with built in desk, cubbies, and shelves...............this of course will prolly not happen until at least spring................but when you have an adhd monkey, keeping her stuff organized helps keep her brain organized...............so............

-not sure what shows we are doing yet........it's a slow starter year, usually we'd be starting like next weekend.............keep checking back here, i'll try and post what shows we are doing.......

i think that's all for now.........the fog is rolling in a little.............i will try and keep this updated more often now................hopefully..............

happy new year!!
