Ruinous! Simply ruinous!

I would just like to state for the record that this year of research leave has been simply ruinous for the bear finances. Not only are bears supporting two households, but someone saw fit to hand Buffy a credit card for emergencies before she headed off on her cruise. Apparently a desire for Sergio to deliver champaign flutes of mango sorbet at 2am constitutes an emergency.
I am shocked and appalled by the fiscal laxity that has been on display.

Office Living

I thought I might be one of the smartest people in the household because people were always telling me that I was special. When Ozzie took me to his office I thought it was because he respected me. Then he tried to get me to code data. I don't feel honored anymore.

Intemperate thoughts on babies

Hi there. This year I have been subjected to grave injustices. I have been drooled on, dragged around by my foot, and force fed a bottle. My fur is matted and I am not sure how I got a sticky substance behind my ear. I used to watch TV every night with Harriet and hang out with Ozzie watching sports. Now there is no TV and I am lucky to be in the bed for story time.

That said, it is all worth it when Ricky gives me a hug and a kiss. The little guy is cute and I am a sucker for cute.

Finally back to civilization

Oh my god, it is so good to be back in civilization. So Amelia and I went on this cruise that was like supposed to be totally amazing. But like the boat went Minnow on us. Amelia and I were just like Ginger and Maryann only there wasn't a hunky professor or a millionaire. Like it was way better cuz there was a rock climbing team on board who apparently lost all their shirts when the boat sank. You know how people ask those totally annoying questions about what books you'd bring if you were stranded on a desert island? After having spent a ton of time on a desert island recently, I gave a lot of thought to that question and decided that the Boy Scout Handbook would have come in handy. But what is way better than any book is having a dreamy rock climbing team on the island with you. Oh my god. Blue Lagoon was a really romantic movie, but think how much better it would have been with the cast of 300 walking around shirtless.

Anywho, the cruise line was totally embarrassed that their boat sunk and offered to put Amelia and I up at a totally swank resort they owned if we didn't sue. Like Amelia and I snapped that deal up faster than we lick up ants. So now we're sipping daquiris brought by a cute cabana boy.

I'll post more when I feel like it. Right now, I'm gonna get a massage from Rodrigo.

Super Bowl Sunday

Um ... hello! Ricky is in bed, Harriet is in the recliner, the cheesecake butt (aka Ozzie) is stuffed full of apple pie, so the bears were allowed to sit on the couch and watch the Super Bowl! Ooh, I'm very excited. We haven't been watching much TV lately and ... um ... I'm not sure why. Harriet is pregnant and due in a few weeks, so her brain has turned to oatmeal. And ... um ... Ozzie has been a tired and grumpy pillow-head for months. I don't think he'd object to anything if we left him to work or sleep. I kinda feel bad for him, but that won't stop me from sitting on his belly and watch the Super Bowl.

Um ... so who is playing? Anyone good?
