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.

7/18 - Doggie with Frisbee skates the half pipe
Doggie with Frisbee thought my breakfast banana looked like part of a skate park, so he went for a ride. Wheee!! Woof!
At lunch, Doggie with Frisbee found an important site in banking history. This was the very first Bank HQ in California, started by a man from Italy. Mario and Luigi should be proud.

7/17 - Balloons are circles, too
The Balloons (from my birthday card) liked the circles they saw in the Olympic logo at the BART station this morning.
They also liked the BART car with new seat covers and a very plush new carpeting that matched them. Oooh!
David took me for a birthday celebration dinner, where there is apparently a birthday discount for a free beer!
And I found a doggie for Lil' Gal in the restroom. It was a good day.

7/16 - Raindrop Bird and the Cherry Plum Gang
It seems safety cones now come with fancy poles to help keep people out from under the window washers. Raindrop Bird thought it was a tightrope and started up a crazy circus act.
Someone brought in a big bowl of pretty cherry plums to work. Raindrop Bird is pretending they are all friends and trying to get them to march around my desk. I hope she won’t be sad when I eat them…
7/15 - Weekend fun: Picnic and bug edition
This weekend, my wonderful friends Wanda and Ashley packed a picnic and took me and the twins to the park for an extended birthday celebration. We missed Linda, who is out with an awful ear infection. :(
Wanda had clearly used the Undetectable Extension Charm, because her bag had any supply that anybody needed at any time. Wanda is no one to be trifled with. (I realize I've mixed my movies, here, but I'm OK with that. If still you're with me, you get 30 points.)
Trapping the new blowfish eraser in a web of bubbles. I now dub thee Spitbug.
Note how Lil' Gal's hand is in Ashley's bag. She is about to pickpocket that iPhone, take her own photo, then call her dog friends at the four corners of the earth.
And! We met a Very Interesting Bug. at our house He was very nice and beetle-like, except he had pretty lacy wings and some feisty praying mantis front legs. Turns out he's a Mantidfly.

7/11 - Funbo finds a sign of the times
This is usually a “Next Bus” computer sign that tells people when the next bus will arrive. I guess it is broken...
At lunch, Funbo went motorcycle counting. How many do you see? Which one is your favorite? Do you recognize any of the parking space numbers on the ground?
I had to sit out today's derby practice (and last night's scrimmage) due to an injury from Monday's practice. Still, I felt bad for the grrrls that had to skate in the 103-degree heat, so I brought orange slices. Here's Mandaryn Crush enjoying her mandarin.

7/10 - PigPig and legs over easy
PigPig asked this gymnast what he was doing. She pointed out that the limbo should be done UNDER the pole…
Look how nice my birthday pictures look at my desk! PigPig approves, and they make me smile. :)
PigPig tried to squeal on Ashley. She squealed, “Look! Ashley’s away from her desk and out to lunch!” But Ashley just smiled. She was far enough from work that nobody would hear all that oinking…
Speaking of work... PigPig and I are NOT happy with work computer and/or Microsoft.
