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!

3/13 - Darth Maul commandeers my new desk

We went to check out my new desk, and Darth Maul tried to fly it like a spaceship!  (It would not start.)

3/12 - Darth Maul is a social climber

He saw Sheldor climbing around the crabitat, and thought he'd say hello.  Sheldor thought Darth Maul's shell was the best decorated shell ever.
Then, Darth Maul was feeling pretty as he admired the fragrant blooms of the nectarine tree.  Spring will do that to you.

3/11 - Darth Maul - now extra minty!

I suggested Darth Maul might enjoy a mint, so he dove right into a bag of them in the kitchen at work.  Ahhhh.  Refreshing!

3/10 - Darth Maul is not an attack strawberry

A coworker heard me sniffling and handed me this packet of fizzy vitamin C to take.  I put Darth Maul next to it for the picture and told him he kinda looked like a strawberry.  He did NOT like that.

3/08 - Bee Mario buzzes up a level

Exciting news from Grammie!

Thought you would like to know that Super Mario has returned from his journey through our pipes. He is pretty grubby but in fine spirits. A little soap and water and he will be good as new. He is looking forward to being reunited with Lil' Guy.

A plumber was able to retrieve him when he unclogged the drains.  Lil' Guy's  reaction?  (First, a BIG grin!)  Then:  "But Mario *is* a plumber!"

3/07 - Donkey Kong is on the edge

The competitive edge!  Don't make him jump.  He will beat you to it.  Or go bananas trying.

3/06 - RIP, FitBit

I guess this FitBit couldn't keep up with me and my busy working mom lifestyle.  It plum wore out.

Donkey Kong decided to wear it as a bandolier instead.  It kinda works!  (Now that I know the name for that thing, I want one to hold my cell phones and wireless mouse when I go to meetings.)

3/05 - Life gives Donkey Kong some lemons

DK wants to make lemonade with them, but I think hot tea for my cold sounds much better.
(Sick is ick.)

3/04 - Donkey Kong builds an empire

OK, it was actually a lot of workers, who were very busy today.
Still, it’s starting to look like an office over there…  NOT a jungle gym, Donkey Kong!
