The stowaway

On Monday, my bud told me we were going to San Diego.  “Business trip” he said.

“Road trip!!” I thought.  Truth was, we were probably going only because some stray pollen got caught in my bud’s eyeball and swelled it up to the point he got annoyed.  Well I’m not complaining.  I like roadtrips.

We packed up the car with a box full of donuts, and then it was time to say goodbye to Peep.

“Now Peep” I said. “Road trips are for my bud and I only.  So you stay here and I’ll see you when I get back.”

“Peep.  Said Peep.

I left him in the care of Blanket Bear and got into the car with my bud to San Diego.

All was fine, we drove to San Diego, had dinner and checked into our hotel.

I was getting ready for bed when I heard some muffled sounds.

Peep peep peep, I heard.

It came from my bud’s backpack.  Nicholas unzipped the side pocket and out came Peep.

Peep.”  Said Peep.

“You’re not supposed to be here.” said I.

Peep.” Said Peep.

Well this conversation is going nowhere and we’re all here together now, so nothing to do but for my bud to tuck his bear and his bear’s bunny off to sleep.

The next day I wanted to go to the beach.  “Take me to La Jolla Cove,” I said.  It’s a high class beach and I’m a high class bear.  Plus my bud used to work here and I was curious to check it out.

It was business as usual and I was getting selfies and pics with my bud —

And then Peep bunny jumped into my pics with my bud.  PEEP!!!!

We’re going to need to have a talk when I get back.

Thank GOODNESS that bathroom’s finally done

My bud finally finished that bathroom.  That was far far too long of an undertaking, and my gaming quality of life was severely impacted during the construction.  FOR THE WORSE.  But at least it’s done, and we can move on and put the past behind us.  I’m a forgiving kind of bear.  Especially when the new bathroom’s kind of badass.

So one more time, here’s the bathroom that was just fine the way it is:

And my blinged out new bathroom.

The only thing that could have made it better was if it had lasers.  It should have had lasers!  Nicholas!!!!!

I got an Easter bunny

That’s right.  I got a Peep Bunny for Easter.

I’d actually forgotten it was Easter until I overheard Nicholas asking Pokin if she’d gotten me any candy for Easter and I was aghast to hear they hadn’t.

?!?!?  What!!  This is absolutely an Enormous-Easter-Disaster in the making.

As I was feeling all upset about everything and trying to figure out how to sufficiently express my displeasure, I noticed the USPS truck pull up with a package.  A package!  With my name on it!

Forgetting about my Absolutely-Enormous-Easter-Disaster-In-The-Making for the moment, I went to make my bud open the package right away.   And inside, I was excited to find out that my best bear bud’s mom is actually way more thoughtful than my bear bud and she’d sent me a package!

My very own Peep Bunny!  And Easter candy!  Easter-disaster averted!

That said, my bud is still on notice to pick me up some Cadbury chocolate eggs.  And stat.  My Peep bunny and I are in need of more easter goodies.
