Preps for a new bed

So the boy said he wants to do exactly what we did in the first butterfly garden along the entire side yard. I'm not so keen, but whatever. It's not like it's all going to die during the next drought anyway.

We bought a new printer this afternoon. Oddly enough, there was an Epson rep hanging around. He, of course, recommended a couple of Epson printers and one of them looked good enough to buy. Good thing we think Epson's a good printer to begin with, but he had a vested interest in what we were looking at to buy.

Really enjoying finishing up House of Paper. It's warm enough to garden; I'm just pretending that it isn't because I'm enjoying my newfound laziness.

Rose bowl preparations

So it's been forever since I posted. Not that it matters (hehehe). Right now, little longhorn shaped cookies are cooling on racks, waiting for me to decorate them. Yep. I'm making theme cookies. But hopefully this year, a little snub of useless creativity will come back into my life. I'm tired of working on the house, the yard. I want it to be done already! I think we may watch the game at a local theater (with beer), or maybe just watch it at home. Beer is generally much, much cheaper at home, AND there's the spouse's fantastic cheesey gooey goodness served on chips.

The holidays were actually quite pleasant. I'm just going to leave it at that.

The yard has been sitting, although the living christmas cheer is waiting for a permanent home. The spouse suggested next year we get a christmas elm. or perhaps a christmas lemon. Sometimes, the spouse is right on par with genius.
