For your amusement, I present the 2009 New Year Resolutions of the Pond.
The Blond Duck: To publish as many whimsical tales in book form and blog form as my Invisible Friends can stand! And to take over the world with Blond Duck press!
Ben: More cinnamon rolls and cinnamon toast, please.
Bitty: To take over the world.
Bear: Since Santa didn't bring me a moose, I'd like a Wuffle-Mobile please: a small Chihuahua-sized go-kart that operates on battery power. And leave a seat for my friend the dolphin and plenty of tasty treats, please.
Ace the Dog: To quit letting the Babies terrorize me.
The Flying Pigs from the Land of the Flowered Bed: To munch on as much tasty grass as possible.
The GLUG (Ginourmous Lime-Green Unusual Gnat): To make people like me. Last time I got a chilly reception (sob!)
The Fuzzy Duck: To go on more dates with the Rubber Chicken!
The Cookie-stealing Bunny: (He was unable to reply due to an incident with his head stuck in the cookie jar.)
The butterflies: To offer a bit of magic.
Miss Pickles: Let's go on an adventure!
Sprinkles the Kitchen Fairy: To teach Bizzy how to cook!
Vivi and Wade: To Twirl!
The Candy Animals: Do you have any tea and cookies you'd mind sharing?
The Land of the Flowered Bed:
Pumble: To eat more cookies with honey!
Cookies: To try to educate the rest of these morons!
Pumble: I take that back. I'm going to spend the entire year refusing to make mouse muffins.
Cookies: I love mouse muffins! You fat insect traitor!
The Seals: (Look longingly at the mouse muffins.)
Miss Moose McKinley: Can you really make a muffin out of a mouse?
The Ducks in the Spa: "Who wants a mouse muffin?" the first duck bellowed. "Those are disgusting!" the second duck bellowed. "It's simply not in our taste," the third duck said.
Hairy: To create peace in the Land of the Flowered Bed.
Princess, you will be missed.
2009 is looking to be an exciting year for the Pond!
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Tomorrow we have the kick-off of the New Recipe Series, which features the tastiest chicken enchiladas you've ever slurped down. Then we've got a new Twirl and more whimsical fun! We even find out what's in the box!
