Our time in town is drawing to a close, thank Goddess! We should be situated out on our 30 acres within the next two weeks. None of us can wait! This past week has been particularly edgy here at the rental Casa due to the winter storm. I can't remember the last time I did so much baking. Thing is that this was borne out of need for an additional heat source more than anything else. This overpriced shell of formed stiffened cheesecloth was friggin' cold, man!

It wasn't all horrible, though. We managed to have some fun despite layers of extra clothes and cabin fever. The goofies must've watched every kid vid we have at least two times, plus we were gifted with some animated treasures that Pat loved back in the early 90's. The goofies are totally digging them now.

What have I been doing since the last entry besides cooking? Plenty! I've always got activities here in Cyberia. Then there's been a lot of email tag with loved ones regarding other loved ones and concerns from folks in Florida that we're going to freeze to death in a region they may fear as being only a tad more sophisticated than "Bumblescum."

I've also been working on a new long-term project that's been challenging me to flex, refine and enhance all manner of mad web and graphics design skillz. This is between engaging in spurts of what could become a new addiction for me: Urban Dead. This has become such a microcosm unto itself that I even started an IC (In Charecter) journal revolving around my gameplay experiences. I can see a whole new sect emerging in Malton if all goes well. In the meantime, feel free to check it out...

Noooooo... My sparkly browns are not starting to look like little monitor screens! I've also been planning this upcoming season's vegetable garden. This maiden undertaking is initially only including tried and true standards until I know just what kind of condition the homestead's soil is in, and what grows best. I'll be starting early enough that other goodies can be added to the veggie-rama in short order.

Seeds purchased so far:

• Marketmore 76 cucumbers
• tomatoes (Romas and Rutgers)
• Black Beauty zucchini
• straightneck yellow squash
• California Wonder bell peppers (red/green)
• Kentucky Wonder, rust-resistant (a regional PIA) pole beans
• jalepenos (for Pat, of course)
• catnip (Pat's long-missed passion)

Well... That's enough outta this grrrl. **whew** It was too cold this past week to futz with re-packing the non-essentials. I'd best get started tomorrow. The sooner we get things wrapped up, both figuratively and literally, the sooner the rental Casa's slumlord will have to color us...
