Well hey there, good lookin'. Long time, no see. How's tricks?
OK, it has been a while. Lame excuses: I was busy. I forgot my blogger login. My mojo was lo-lo. My yin and yang were being balanced. My aura was in the shop.
Let's bring y'all up to the present. The Biggie and Wee One are the same, only skinnier, taller and even more chatty than before. The Big is in second grade and would rather do schoolwork than go out to recess. The Wee is in her last months of preschool and is no less tornado-like. Milo the dog has lost a couple of toenails and Sylvie the Ancient Cat is still creaking around, yowling for salmon and milk. We are down one turtle (it ran away) and up one goldfish. I haven't seen the snake for a week, so I'm assuming it's hibernating. Winter is lasting a bit too long.
The Husband is working his already-diminutive heinie off, a fact which has caused me to slowly take over more house responsibilities and diminishes my other activities like, oh, blogging. We have a little bit of a bunker mentality going on here at the Quistilton Ranch, though I'm not sure exactly what sort of siege we're expecting. Maybe it's time to go out in the sunshine, eh?
I am still working at my wonderful job, though not too much, since Wee is only in half-day preschool. I am guiltily and eagerly awaiting the fall, when both my kids will be in school all.day.long. Just think of all the cleaning and working and showering and exercising I will be able to do! That's after I sleep for a month. A teensy-weensy article I wrote was recently published on the internet, yeeha. Nothing in actual newsprint yet, and I just realized the check hasn't come in the mail, either. No matter; I'll be expecting that Pulitzer nomination any day now.
Alrighty then, Wee wants her mac and cheese and my timer has run out.
It's nice to be back.

Yeehah! I thought perhaps the snow had trapped y'all in there and you were never coming out!
Whoohooh! Congrats on the article! Was just thinking of you and wondering how y'all are doing up in the frozen wonderland that is Bald Hill. I'm kidless this week and out of town this weekend picking her up, but let's get together soon ...

Yaaaaaaaaaay Quistiltons!
Howz about a link to that article? I tried asking Google for "the quistilton article that's on the Internet", and it just sort of looked at me funny. ("Did you mean: the quistilton article what's on the internet"? Seriously.)

P.S. That mysterious "comment deleted" was me. I tried to edit this comment after I posted it, and it didn't go so well.
Glad you're back, Linnie! Please link to the article - I'd love to read it.
