A New Year of Resolutions

Posted on December 31st, 2009 in Stories

As to be expected, the creatures and critters of the Pond have many dreams, hopes and desires for 2010.  Some are attainable, some are ridiculous and some are just hilarious.  Judge for yourself, won’t you?

DSC01554

Queen Bitty:  To take over the world.

DSC04400

Bear:  To find a personal treat deliverer to hand me scrumptious treats whenever and wherever I desire them.

DSC06560

Crumbs the Owl:  I want peanut butter cookies.  I don’t care how I get them.  I want them.

DSC06203

The Ducks in the Spa of the Land of the Flowered Bed:  We’re still waiting on a jacuzzi….Maybe we’ll have to build it ourselves.

DSC04464

Jazzy the Kitchen Fairy:  I want to write a cookbook.  A magic cookbook for unmagical cooks.

DSC06241

Sandie the Stingray:  I would like to find a way to slide across the carpet without getting rug burn.

Alaska 344

Miss Moose McKinley:  This year, I want to learn how to knit.  I’d like to make some antler covers, as my antlers always get cold.

bunnyCookie Stealing Bunny:  To steal Crumbs’ peanut butter cookies.

DSC06259

King Baylor the Stickhorse:  I want to take my midnight comedy act on tour and get a Comedy Central Roast.

DSC06555

Cookies the Owl: I want to learn Italian.  Then I want to fly there next Christmas and order Italian cookies in Italian.  Then Crumbs and I shall have a feast.  With peanut butter cookies for dessert, of course.

DSC06219

Pumble the Bee:  I’m going to lose ten pounds.  (silence)  Fine, I was lying.  I plan to gain 10 pounds.  I’m going to go make peanut butter cookies.

DSC06568

Blue Elephant:  I plan to have a Blue Elephant New Year’s.  It includes bubbles, dancing and pie.  Lots of pie. And it stretches out until Jan. 31.

DSC05959

Booger the Lobster:  I’m going to guard the Pecan Pie.

DSC05228

The Kitchen Ducks:  We would like to learn to sail, then sail across the Grand Bathtub of the Guest Room.  We can only imagine what harrowing adventures we shall have!

DSC05709

The Kitchen Chicken:  I want to find a new nest in a good neighborhood that has wonderful schools for my little chick.

DSC05711

The Pink Penguins:  Our goal is to travel somewhere exotic this summer.  Like Paris, Texas.

DSC06200

Hairy the Hedgehog:  As Mayor of the Land of the Flowered Bed, I’d like to continue to improve the amount of games we play, dances we choreograph and create a theater group of sock puppets.

DSC06293

Ladybug:  I’m going to throw a grand Ladybug Ball for one and all!

DSC06249

The Flying Pigs:  We plan to find more tasty grass.

DSC05714

Penelope the Pig:  I’d like to purchase a hippo for a pet.

DSC05445

The Glitter Chicks:  We want our top pop hit, “Shimmy your Tail Glitter,” to reach #1 on the Billboard charts.

DSC05710

Miss Frizzle:  I want to create shoes for chicken feet.  Do you know how unjust it is I can’t wear cute shoes because of my gnarly birdy feet that are ignored by designers?  Well, I shall have unfashionable talons no longer!

DSC03990

The Pie Bird:  I’m starting a campaign against only using blackbirds for pies.  Why can’t bluebirds or cardinals be pie birds as well?  I’m an equal opportunity bird, see!

DSC05223

The Love Pig:  With Valentine’s Day coming up, I have lots of couples to create, hearts to mend, relationships to build…


Happy New Year’s to all my Invisible Friends!

Stay tuned, Invisible Friends!  Tomorrow we have a delightful Ode and Saturday, a new Creative woman of the New Year for the Pond!  Stay tuned!
