Every day, my 12th grade twins give me a toy to bring to work. I send home pictures of how the toy is "helping" me, and then save them to this blog. (OK, obviously, we are not really doing this anymore. Teenagers, amiright?) It definitely makes work more fun. For me -- I can't speak for the poor toy. Please do not use any of my images or writing without contacting me for permission.

6/29 - Super Mario Card tries to punch holes in the fog
It was so cold and clammy on the BART platform this morning. I think his technique worked – it was sunny by lunchtime!
This lady sat next to me on BART and spent the whole ride in organizing a bag of loud, crinkly receipts. It was hard to take a nap with all that going on. I was irritated!
Bad dog! Put down that cable car! Silly puppy. That is not a toy. You are scaring the tourists.

4/16 - Yellow Yoshi frolics in the flowers (and our new "pet")
These pretty flowers are at our train station. It's starting to feel like spring around here.
Yellow Yoshi couldn’t decide if he wanted to take the yellow trolley or the yellow taxi. While he tried to make a decision, the light turned green and they both drove off. Poor Yellow Yoshi.
Here is a photo of our new "pet," King Emmett. We found him while weeding this weekend. He is a red pupa that will either hatch a fluffy moth or some kind of stinging wasp. Let's all vote for the former, shall we? This pupa is actually King Emmett II. King Emmett the first was tragically squished with a Spanish-English dictionary. Pobrecito.

3/13 - Jeanette is as pretty as a spring flower
It’s a rainy day in the City. Jeanette is pretending to ride the cable car, and I am pretending to hold an umbrella while taking a picture – hard to do!
This big flower display is at the front desk of my building. Olga the security guard was very amused as I tried to get the flash setting right for this picture.

3/05 - Mario witnesses the halo effect
I’m not sure why there was a small porthole in this bus station ad, but Mario’s head fit neatly inside it. He said, “All right!”
On our lunchtime stroll, Mario found green things that reminded him of Luigi. He jumped for joy when we saw a green trolley.
He started to karate-chop a mini Hulk, but then ran away quickly when the Hulk growled at him.

12/23 - What Vamp saw at lunch
Lil' Gal reeeeeally wanted me to bring an inflatable Halloween skeleton head ball to work today, but he did not fit in my bag. (And would not have been a discreet pal at our team lunch!) I was able to negotiate bringing the smaller Vamp with me instead. Phew!
We had lunch at an Indian restaurant for Falgoon’s last day, Here’s one of the pictures we saw.
Look at the holiday trolley car! Ding ding!
And then I worked until 6:15pm. :( Now I'm looking forward to a great Xmas weekend with the critters!

12/01 - All aboard!
Clarabel got to go out solo today, which must've been a big treat for her. Here, she dreams of riding on the BART rails.
At lunch, we got to see three (3) trolleys! Clarabel sat on one that was parked.
