8/27 - Moustacheless Mario jumps for joy at the fajita bar

Someone had a lunch meeting today, and instead of it being a meeting without lunch, it ended up being a lunch without a meeting.  How awesome is that?

"What's on the agenda today?"  "Eating free food.  Your action item is this cookie."  NOM. Check that off the list.

8/20 - Elephant gets a little fruity

So the thing with the free cookies?  Nancy is full service.  She brought me a cookie *and* an apple.  Brought the latter home for the kids because I am also good at sharing.  Fruit, anyway.

8/21 - Elephant wants the cookie, not the cold

My job seems to have a lot of cookies. So much so, that on the days where there are no free cookies, I get a little pouty.  (Do NOT have a problem. Could quit cookies whenever I wanted to. Just not today.)

Happily, new girl Heather has the same problem with fondness for cookies and is good at sharing.  We like her a lot.

3/14 - Diary of a Worm writes of cookies

They were having a bake sale at work to raise money to fight children's cancer, so Diary of a Worm and I had to go eat -- er, help out!

1/21 - Swamp Buggy sees stars

They were doing some kind of team photo when we came into work today and had these balloons nearby.

Then we were happy because we got a leftover cookie from someone’s lunch meeting.  NOM!

12/23 - Max and the field of cookies

Max helped me get cookies ready to give to my new work friends.  He was a good helper, except when he tried to eat all the cookies!  (I can’t blame him.)

Don’t worry – there are still plenty left for us to enjoy!

12/19 - Snoopy does the can can

Today was the 4th floor's holiday celebration.  We had all kinds of desserts and a gift exchange.  I was able to steal this nice canister set for my very own.  (Am I fully fested in this company yet?)

12/02 - Dodo finds good fortune

And he really liked my new work!  What's not to like about a jar full of candy, a blue star balloon, and a nice big desk?

 We also got a fortune that was a fortune.  Duly noted.

4/18 - Stunt Team #03 says "It's not an adventure until somebody bleeds."

Today, Jeanine and I spent our lunch hour giving blood to the blood bank.  It was a good adventure for a good cause.  And!  Free cookies!

3/27 - Miss Kitty and the Very Long Meeting

Miss Kitty found a strange bubble-popping princess on the way to our all-day offsite big meeting thing.  I was hoping we'd find coffee, which we did.  This offsite had excellent food because Jeanine is a rock star.  #thankyou

No wonder I'm sneezing like one of the seven dwarves.  Spring has sprung, yo.

12/24 - BowlMouth finds a winter wonderland

It’s very quiet downtown today.  Most of the stores have closed early, and the streets are all but empty.

This is the elevator lobby of a building where I used to work (you haven’t been there with me).  They put up fake brick walls and hung icicles from the lights and put snow and penguins everywhere!  I hardly recognized the place.

Look how cute you guys are getting ready for Santa!

12/20 - Caiman and Red Angry Bird start a parade

They got Raj to join in, but when they tried to turn it into a conga line, Raj said he had a meeting.

Nick gave us all cookies and some other holiday goodies. (Thank you!) My little friends started demanding a share, but when I asked them to ask nicely, I shared right away. Manners matter.

12/10 - Jeanette is tired of meetings

We haven’t left the building today.  It’s almost 5pm and we’re waiting for our last meeting of the day to start. Jeanette would much rather have come on a day where there were cupcakes, she tells me. I agree. There is too much Monday in this Monday.

One good cure for a bad case of the Mondays is cookies.  Cookies also go well with Christmas.  So Jeanette and I rounded up some supplies (she was especially interested in the almonds) and started baking...

6/26 - Squeaka Mouse finds fashionable friends

Look! Dogs in sweaters! So cute!!!

We got this coupon from someone promoting a new food truck. Maybe we will check it out next week. Who doesn’t like a free cookie?

4/01 - weekend fun, April Fool's edition

We were graced by the visit of my BFF/old roommate Anne and her oldest daughter Rowan on Saturday.  Despite the rain, we had a good time making a mural, baking chocolate chip cookies, and finding a patch of sunshine to take a walk to the playground.  It was soooo good to see them!!

This year was the first year the twins really got into April Fool's Day.  We decided to surprise Mama by pretending the kids' homework wasn't done, wearing our shirts backwards, and switching the kitchen stools and the dining room chairs, among other pranks. (Look out! There's a spider on your shoulder!)  If there was ever a holiday made for Lil' Guy, this was it.

Then it was time for my derby team's photo shoot.  I've been a pirate for some time, a skater for a little while, but to combine the two took a little thought.  If nothing else, I had a great time.

When I got home, everyone was pretending to be someone else for a prank.  Lil' Guy asked me to be a dog with him (Lil' Gal's shtick).  Mama wanted me to play Mario Brothers with her (Lil' Guy's favorite thing). And Lil' Gal freaked out from stage fright and hid in the TV room.  (Which was not unlike Mama and her Facebook game hobby.)

What was your best April Fool's prank?

2/14 - Green Birdie goes postal

He thinks he’d be a really good mascot.  Look at that fine beak!

Green Birdie is loved -- A magic mirror told him so!

Happy Valentine's Day!

1/11 - Pinkie Penguin picks pistachio

This little skate pin was just the right size for Pinkie to take a ride around my desk.  Whee!!

We went to check out the new bakery/sandwich shop in the neighborhood.  They had rows and rows of pretty cookies. (We did not partake.  This time.)

Pinkie Penguin and I went to a party after work. Pinkie thought the cake pops looked like eggs and wanted to try to hatch them.  (The pink ones were red velvet – yum.)

And then!  Pinkie found some friends at the party.  These little doves cooed and made laughing sounds when they saw us.  (Hey!  My 80’s outfit wasn’t THAT funny!)

12/20 - Green Elf eats a cookie

It’s busy at work today!  To keep Green Elf and Cutie Bird out of all the papers on my desk (and away from the Xmas cookies), I told them to go hang out somewhere else. Looks like they found a good spot on my cubicle wall.

Jeanine thought Green Elf looked a little thin, so she tried to feed him a date square.  Isn't she nice to share?

12/19 - Giraffey and Rachel bond over cookies

Giraffey likes antlers... Even if they’re reindeer antlers on a car!

Rachel came by to check out the cookies I brought in for my work friends.  Both she and Giraffey like the green Xmas tree ones.  (The date squares are my favorite.)

12/08 - Cutie Bird wants to build a nest in an Xmas tree

This one was so pretty, we stopped in our tracks to take a picture of it.
(Lil' Gal made Cutie – isn’t he cute?)

My new work building had a nice breakfast for all of its tenants this morning.  There was even a lady playing Xmas songs on a big fancy harp! Cutie and I are bringing these cookies home for you!
