2/18 - Pooh Bear sniffs a star

"It smells of sparkles!" he says.

Pooh is motivated by Positive Thoughts ... and honey, of course.

Later, I couldn't find Pooh.  Linda was playing with him!  He must have followed her out of our meeting.  Silly old bear.

And then it was a 3-day weekend.  Although BART stole 2 hours of it by using 3 of their 5 usual delays -- medical emergency, equipment problem, electrical problem.  (What?  No fire or police activity?  Why not go for a bingo?)

2/15 - Mr. Bown says "Dibble Dibble Dopp"

My attempt to call into 2 early meetings and rush into work before the 3rd didn't go quite as planned.  Turns out there's not much parking after the morning rush hour, and I missed my train. In my hurry to get out, I also (sigh) forgot to bring a toy with me.  Mama's new spartan car toy policy left me scrambling, but I did find Mr. Brown and his Book of Wonderful Noises in the backseat.  Moo!

His new pirate friend has a tooth out, just like Mae!

12/28 - Dad and Bitsy have tall friends

Mr. "Dad" Pteranodon and I found this little dog in the train station.  She was lost, so we brought her with us to work. She says her name is Bitsy, and she can't wait to meet you guys when we get home.  (You'll have to share her, OK?)

We all had lunch with Ashley, and then we found a big nutcracker!  (He was nice.)

12/17 - Bubbles is a party pony

Bubbles and I headed in to work this morning with a veggie lasagna for the potluck, only to find major BART delays.  In fact, we stood on a platform for over 2 hours, unable to go into work or back home.  Finally, we got on a train with hundred of others and got to the city.

I got to work in time to have half a meeting and then head out to the team holiday party.  Here we are at a grocery store on the way, admiring chestnuts and those weird Buddha's Hands.

Here we are at Jackie's stately home, enjoying the feast.

One of Ashley's "Apples to Apples" cards said Bubbles!  Here they all are.
