Boy is the flu nasty. I feel like a freight train ran over my entire body. Thankfully Sean and Cade are better (Connor hasn’t gotten it) but Quinn, Michael and I are still recovering. My Momma and my sister Colleen are both sick too but they had flu shots so their symptoms don’t seem as bad.

Family tradition dictates that we spend New Year’s Eve at my parents house…not sure what tonight will bring.

It’s getting colder here! Maybe snow will work its way into our local forecast soon. *smile*

For things to do outside, visit MacBeth’s Winter Opinion…lots of great ideas!

If you’re stuck inside due to weather or illness (like me!) here are some winter-y things to do…

I’m really lucky…I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop so even if I don’t feel like sitting at my desk I can still browse on my laptop and since it is a tablet PC I’m able to draw and play in Photoshop…even in bed. *smile* If you are a graphic artist and used to using a pen and are in the market for a laptop…make sure you buy a tablet PC so you can draw. Wacom has a driver just for tablet PC’s that make the pens pressure sensitive. I found a bunch of really easy but instructive tutorials at Tutorials of Rachael Tallamy. I did the Pine Tree with Snow tutorial. It took about 20 minutes and looks pretty nice if you ask me. *smile*
