How I Get Back on Track!

When I need to get back on track to havin' a good day, I go to the Texas Hot!

Hiya, Friends!  Happy Sunday to you!

Well, ya know, most of the time, I'm a Happy Little Kid, but sometimes, nothing goes right for me.  Sometimes, I've gotta take a nap, because there's nothing better to do than just reboot a day.  But other times, a trip to one of my favorite places is enough to get me back on track.

You know where that is, Big People?  Oh, I bet you do, too! 

It's the Texas Hot in Downtown Wellsville!

It helps me reset myself when I go there, because it just feels so familiar.  Like home, only better.  It's just so warm and welcoming, which is really important this time of year.  And in the summer, it's just so cool and welcoming.

Welcoming goes both ways, warm and cold, depending on the season.

Anyways, nothing makes me feel better like a glassa chocolate milk, or maybe a milkshake, and a nice, tall dish of red jello with whipped cream piled high on top.

When I need to get back on track to havin' a good day, I go to the Texas Hot, and they aren't even payin' me to say so!  How the heck right about that, Big People?!

Hey.  I love ya lots, and I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!

A Friendship for Today Made a Long, Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

R2D2 is precisely the little droid I didn't know I was looking for!

Hiya, Friends!  Happy Saturday to you!

Well, ya know, I like the dang ol' Star Wars movies, and I really like the droids.  My favorites are R2D2 and BB-8.  C3P0 is okay, but kinda hoity-toity.  You know what I mean.

Anyways, on a recent trip to the beautiful Eastview Mall in Victor, New York, I was walking through a store called Von Maur, not really sure what to think of the place really, when I heard a friendly beep-beep-boop-boop! from a display table of Star Wars-themed toys. 

I turned around and saw a round, friendly little Artoo blinking colorful lights at me.  There were round, friendly little Yodas, Storm Troopers, and Darth Vaders, but there was only one round, friendly little Artoo.  And he was reaching out to me in the only way he could.

It was as if R2D2 was saying, 'I need a home, Zoe, and you're my only hope!'

How could I argue with that? 

So I presented R2D2's plight to Mommy- that the poor little fella was the only one of his kind in the department store, and a place like Von Maur, while really nice, just isn't the kinda place where a lovable little droid would wanna hafta stay for long.  Much to my surprise, Mommy said I could pay the store to let me take little R2D2 home with me.

There ya have it, Big People!  Artoo was precisely the little droid I didn't know I was looking for, but he was definitely looking for me, and I'm so glad to say he stays right the heck with me now!  And he always will!

I love ya, Big People! I hope YOU find an unexpected friend today!  If not, you always have me!  I love ya lots!  Muah!

My Favorite Winter Weather is Glitter!

Snow-glitter is great!  Glitter spilled on the floor's gonna getchya in some hot water!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Friday to ya!

So!  How's it goin'?  I'm doin' pretty well. 

Yesterday was just a beautiful day, wasn't it?  The sky was so blue, and the snow looked like somebody spilled a giant jar of GLITTER outside!  That was pretty great!

It got me to thinkin' about how despite all the splendor of Summer, with all the flowers and all their colors, you just don't see anything that even looks like somebody spilled a giant jar of glitter on the ground when it's warm outside.  So that's one thing that's pretty special about the cold weather, you know?  Glittery sparkles in the snow.

The thing of it is, while you can get a summery effect off-season inside by putting out some flowers or silk flowers in your habitat, you just can't replicate that snow-glitter effect inside.  You can't just pour a giant jar of glitter on the living room floor, because that'll getchya in some very, very hot water.   Never you mind how I know.  I just know.

I'll enjoy appreciating the glittery snow outside, though!  You bet I will!

Hey.  I'll see ya tomorrow, Big People!  Stay warm, keep the glitter off the living room floor, and enjoy the prettiness outside!  I love the dickens right outta ya!  Muah!

Delighted to See You Day

My sleeves are tickled pink to see you, Big People!

Hiya, Big People!  I cannot begin to tell ya how delighted I am to see ya on this Thursday!

So!  How's it going?

You know, I really cannot begin to tell ya how much it means to me that you stop in to my home here on the World Wide Web to look in on me every day.  In the spirit of commemoration, I'm calling today Delighted to See You Day!

You're lookin' pretty spiffy, too, I might add.  Thursday looks GREAT on ya!

I hope that wherever you are today, or whatever you hafta do, you get to feel as delighted as I feel, now that you've stopped in.  I hope somebody just flat-out makes your dang day for ya, just like you make my day.

Friends, I'm gonna letchya go for now, but lemme wanna tell ya this- you're tops in my book.  You sure are!  I love the dickens right outta ya, for sure!  Muah!

Eatin' Deeply Discounted Valentine Candy Day!

Yep!  The cheap candy from Cheap Candy Day definitely tastes better!

Hiya, Big People!  Well, ya know, back the heck on Monday, I got on the dang ol' computer and stocked up on deeply discounted Valentine's Day candy, and today, I'm enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Is that what I wanna say?  The fruits of my labor?  I mean, candy and fruit are both sweet, but I don't wanna make the fruit people mad at me by implying that candy's as good for a person as fruit is.  It isn't.  Well, it isn't as nourishing.  Candy's good for the soul, sometimes. 

Candy's just tops, Friends!  Deeply Discounted Valentine's Candy is even higher tops.  Every time I bite a piece of Deeply Discounted Valentine's Candy, I feel like I'm kinda stickin' it to the Man.  I feel like I've gotten away with something, hacked the Valentine system and all. 

And that is a wonderful feeling, Friends.

Hey.  If you haven't gotten stocked up on Deeply Discounted Valentine Candy yet, you better hop on your moped or scooter or snowmobile and get to the store, and get yourself a buncha Deeply Discounted Valentine Candy!  You bet!

I'll see ya tomorrow!  I love ya lots!  Muah!

Ariel's Lego Castle

Rozzie knows fabulous architecture when she sees it!

Hiya, Big People!

Well, I'll tell ya what.  About a month ago, I got an Ariel castle Lego set.  This thing is really the greatest.  I built it, all by myself, except that Daddy read all the directions and put it together.  Other than that, it was all me.

The house has a music room and a slide, and a seashell where Ariel could go and sing a solo.  There's spots for rooftop entertaining.  It's a great castle, fit for a sea-princess, sure, but I think it would be more fitting if it came in my size. 

Why, if I had a me-sized Ariel's castle, I would give concerts all the time in the seashell.  You haven't heard 'Hello' by Adele until you've heard my cover version of it.

I bet it'd sound even better if I were singing it inside a giant seashell.  Boy, I'd be a star if I had Ariel's Lego Castle, in Zoe-size!

Heck, I'd even make a dog-bed for my pal Rozzie, so she could watch me ride the slide.

Friends, I have a case to make for a me-sized Ariel's Lego Castle.  I love ya lots, and would love to stay here palaverin' with you, but this is really important!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!

They Oughtta Call Today Cheap Candy Day!

I'm stockin' up on Valentine's candy at discounted prices!

Hiya, Friends!  Happy Monday to you!

Well, ya know, it's Presidents Day, but most importantly, it's the Day After Valentine's Day, so now all the candies that you coulda bought on Saturday for a hundred percent of the price are now available to you for deep discounts.  They hafta make room for the Cadbury Creme Eggs, after all!

One of my favorite things about me is that when I see an opportunity, I grab it, and cheap Valentine candy is something I love to grab up with both hands, in-store, online, anywheres.  It's still delicious candy, and once ya get it out of the fancy heart-shaped box, nobody even has to be the wiser for it being Valentine candy if you don't want 'em to know!

I like to know, though, because nothing tastes better to me than eatin' a piece of candy from a box that cost $30 the day before Valentine's Day, but today, that very exact same boxa candy was only $10... or less.  It makes me feel like I've beaten The System, you know?

You know what I mean, Big People!  Sure you do!  And I'll see ya tomorrow!  I love ya lots!  Muah!
