Long time no post!

I've been pretty busy getting settled into the new house, and constantly cleaning it. Thats one downside to a big house...lots of stuff to clean! I think I have some silly little laundry fetish now. I love doing laundry with my new washer & dryer...I could do laundry all day. Weirdo.

And the kids....well they are messy boys. There's always something to clean when they're around. I cant even send Ian out in the backyard anymore to play since we got around a foot of snow between Thursday night and Saturday. And its gotten a little colder. Once it warms back up to the lower 40's I will let him go back out and play. Right now our yard looks like a tundra again!

I'm impatiently waiting for warmer temps. I am going to plant a vegetable garden!! I'm so excited about this! I have already started growing some herbs indoors...cilantro, dill, basil, coriander, chives, marjoram, and a couple other things. I need to get some small pots ASAP so I can start my peppers and tomatoes indoors. The rest of my veggies can be directly sown into the ground. I have hot peppers, bell pepper variety mix, peas, lettuce mix, spinach, and tomatoes. I am going to do 'Square Foot Gardening' because it seems to be easy enough to start and maintain. I am a beginner so I hope it all goes well. I cant wait to have grown my own fresh veggies and herbs.

I am starting to get into reading again. I love reading but I always felt like I wouldnt have time to get any reading done. I've traded computer time for book time...which is definitely a worthwhile trade. I'm currently reading 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and I am halfway through it. I just couldn't put it down! It's such a good read. I cant wait to see the movie, now! My next book will be Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth". A totally different book from the one I am reading currently, but thats great. Any books you could recommend for me to read, just let me know and I will start stockpiling. Speaking of reading, I am going to do a little more of it until Quinn wakes up from his nap.

I hope to update again soon if anything happens that's worth mentioning. My surrogacy blog gets more updates than this one so read that one if you're update hungry. ;)
