Ding-Dong! Those Grads Are Gone

Now is the winter of our discontent,
made glorious summer by this 'Done with Work.'

Something for the Human to Ponder

A teacher is someone who talks in someone else's sleep.

Thankful Thursday

                                                 Okay, we know that pictures #2 & 3 are embarrassingly out of focus. 
                                                 But I felt moved to include them on this Thankful Thursday 
                                                 as they illustrate two things worth noting:  
                                                 My Human, perhaps motivated by yesterday's post, 
                                                 arrived home before 4:30 p.m.;
                                                 more importantly, I was treated to a luxurious brushies session.
                                               Ahhhhhhhhh.......

La souris est le mien

Imagine my surprise when la souris arrived
fresh from France! The Human had purchased
some silly jewelry item of no interest to me
from Mollie's auction a few weeks ago,
and apparently this
deceptively cute mousie sneaked into the package.
We do not even exactly know
from whom the package came.
I welcomed her to Les Etats-Unis and we had a nice cuddle
away from prying eyes (well, almost away).

Our mysterious card, from Easyrides. We don't think that sounds furry French!
Thanks for the sweet bonus gift! I luffs her

Monday's Child Is Fair of Face

Well, I don't really know if I was born on a Monday or not, but seriously, that rhyme coulda been written about me, right? 

If I look just the tiniest bit out of sorts, it's because the Human has warned me the week ahead may be sketchy, posting- and visiting-wise. There are finals to give and grade, and Baccalaureate, and graduation and yada, yada, yada. Will she ever stop whining, do you think?

When will she realize I have no interest or concern in any of those things, and certainly I hope she is not expecting sympathy! Ha ha ha, as if!

Laissez rouler les bon temps

Love to eat them mousies
Mousies what I love to eat
Bite they tiny heads off
Nibble on they tiny feet

Oh, and Gray Boy? Don't think I don't see you. 
Your time is coming.
