A very HAPPY "Take Your Teddy Bear to Work" day to each of you. I checked online to see what this one was all about and found the following explanation on the emotionscards.com website: "To honor all that our Teddy Bears do for us, citizens of the world are encouraged to show their appreciation by bringing their beloved Teddy Bears to Work with them on October 11th. Teddy Bears the world over will be proud to meet their owners work associates and their teddy bears."
Well my teddy bear is actually a Build-A-Bear Bunny (yes, you read that right) - and I didn't bring him today. He's home on my bed keeping an eye on the cats. That's a full time job for him. Had I brought him to work, I might be tempted to curl up and take a nap - especially considering it is a take-a-nap sort of day.
In other holiday news, happy happy birthday to my Dad, who turns the big 7-5 today! Dad is 75 going on 30 - with far more energy than I ever hope to have on any given day. He still does crazy stuff like staying up until 4 in the morning working on hobbies, climbing around in trees (cutting wood), and working harder in one day than I work in one week. I hope today is a NOT work-filled for him!
And if you haven't been here in a couple of days and need a good laugh - do scroll on down and read the next post. Go ahead. Have a laugh at my expense.

I am giving most of my bears and stuffed toys to a staff member in our Dominican school. They give them to local Dominican children at Christmas. They are pretty smart bears, so should be able to learn Spanish rather quickly.
I kept a koala that was a gift when I was 17 from two best friends, a panda that an old friend gave me that is 36 years old like me and a penguin my mom gave me. The panda was my friends gift the day after he was born and he gave it to me on my 16th birthday to remember our friendship always. Yes I am very sentimental, what can I say?
75 years old! I hope to have his energy at that age.
hey it's good to keep the sentimental stuff! i'm all about that!
i'd like to have his energy at MY age!
