Cyber (CYBEAR) Monday

Hello everyone!  Do you know what today is?  That's right, today is Cyber Monday, or CYBEAR Monday as I like to call it.  I try not to go too crazy with shopping but I'm tempted to take a peek at some good deals today.  Let's take a look.


Amazon.com has some pretty good stuff it seems.


Target.com had some problems due to high visitor traffic but it seems to be working now.


There are also good deals at BestBuy.com.


But my favorite store for online shopping is Build-a-Bear Workshop!  They also have specials going on today.  I'm going to ever-so-subtly leave this webpage up so my mom will see it when she checks her email on the computer.  Maybe she will get a hint!

Up to no good

This afternoon, I saw Uncle Tibbs taking a nap on the couch.  He looked quite cozy there.


Suddenly, I had an idea.


"Miss Feathers," I said, " I could use your assistance with something."

"Why certainly Ajdin!  What do you need?"

"I need a feather from you, if that is okay," I said.


"Of course!" she answered, plucking a feather from her tail.  She handed the feather to me.  "What do you need it for, Ajdin?"

"Heh heh heh," I snickered.

"Do you need it for an arts and crafts project, Ajdin?" she asked.


"Mwahahaha," I laughed evilly.

"Ajdin, why do you need this feather?" she asked nervously.  She looked at me, then at the feather, then at Uncle Tibbs snoozing soundly on the couch.

"Oh no... Ajdin Adilovic, don't you even dare think about it!" she said sternly.  "Give that feather back right this instant!  I want no part of these shenanigans!"


But it was too late.

I got up close to Uncle Tibbs and tickled him on the ear with the feather.

"Mmmm...ergghh....mmmmm....honeyyyyy," he said in his sleep.

"Ajdin, stop that right now!" said Miss Feathers.


But I didn't listen.  I tickled Uncle Tibbs some more.  He scratched his ear, still murmuring in his sleep.

"Mmmm.... fish...." he moaned..

"Ajdin, please stop that!  Let Uncle Tibbs sleep!" chided Miss Feathers.


Then I tickled him again, only this time...


...he turned his big bear body over and hugged me like a pillow!  I could not escape.  I could not move.

"Mmm... teddy bear..." said Uncle Tibbs in his sleep.

"Serves you right, Ajdin!" said Miss Feathers.

(I guess that is the end of this blog post since I cannot move.  I'll have to wait until Uncle Tibbs wakes up.)

The DMV, part 2

Hello everyone.  I have been waiting at the DMV for quite a while now.  To pass the time, I have been napping in my car, eating snacks, coloring with crayons, doing homework assignments for school, and even ran some errands.  I hope my number is called soon.

"Tweeeenttyyyyy siiiiix?  Doessss anyyoneee haaaveee nuuumbeeeer tweeentyyyy siiiiix?" Ooogie called.


I looked at my ticket.

"Yes, that's me!" I cheered.  I went to the counter.


"Heeellooooo Ajdiiiin," said Ooogie.  "Thaaaaanks fooor youuuur patiiiiencee.  I wiiiilll takeeee youuuur piiiicturee foooor theeee driiiver'ssss liiiicenseeee."

I stood in front of a white wall while Ooogie took the picture.  *CLICK* went the camera.


"Whiiillle youuuuur liiiiceeenseeee issss priiiintiiiing, I neeeeeed tooooo iiiiinspeccctttt youuuuuur vehiiiiiclee," he continued.

I couldn't help but to feel a little nervous.


He checked the front headlights.


He checked the back lights.


He also got in the car and tested the brakes and blinkers.


"Loooooksss gooooood tooooo meeee," Ooogie said.

And with that, he attached a sticker to my windshield.


"Youuuuur liiiiicensssse isssss readyyyy," he said.


I picked up my driver's license from the counter.


"Yooooou areeee allllll seeeeet," said Ooogie.

"Sweet!  I can officially drive by myself now!"  I was beary happy.  "Thanks Ooogie!  I will see you later."

"Byyyyeeee Ajddddiiiiin," said Ooogie.  "Driiiiiive careeeefullly."

Then I got in my car and drove off.




"Tweeeeeentyyyy seeeeveeeen?   Doeesssss anyyyyoneeee haaaaave nuuuuumbeeer tweeeentyyyy seveeeen?   Anyyyyoneee?  Anyyyoneee?"

Mail

I received a package recently - look who it is from!  Two little bears are drawn on the envelope.  That means it's from Jerry and Ben.


Wow, what a haul!  These are my prizes from their 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.  There is candy, some pencils and eraser (which I will use for school), a certificate, and a sheet of stickers.


Look, I'm going to put a sticker on my face right now!  Yeah!  Thanks Jerry and Ben!


I also received a postcard from Sandy Bear.  It is a postcard of Yukon, Canada.  Sandy hopes to go on a real trip again soon.  Thanks Sandy!


There is also a second postcard from Sandy.  Hmm... wait a second.  It is not for me.  It is for... Uncle Tibbs!  Uncle Tibbs will be beary happy to receive some fun mail.  I got the feeling that he was a little bit jealous last time I received all the fun mail.  So let's go give it to him!


"Uncle Tibbs, there is a piece of mail for you," I said.

"Let me guess," he said, rolling his eyes.  "It's a bill."

"No, it is not a bill," I said.

"If it's not a bill, then it's junk mail," he said.

"No, it's not junk mail either," I said.


"Really?  You're joking. What could it be?" he asked.  I handed the postcard to him.

He read:

Dear Uncle Tibbs,
A postcard just for you!!  Because you never get any and you do such a great job of caring for the younger stuffies.  I'm just doing some armchair travelling using postcards from Mama's stash!
Your pal, Sandy


"Wow!  I can't believe I received a piece of fun mail today!" he said.  "Hehehe!"

Thanks Sandy, for making Uncle Tibbs' day!

The DMV

Hello there.  Today I am heading to the DMV, or Department of Motor Vehicles, to get my driver's license and car registration.  You may remember that I passed my driving test from S.P. Driving School some time ago.


Ah, here we are, the DMV.  I wonder if someone is working here today.  I don't see anyone here yet.


After some time, someone showed up.  It was...

Ooogie.


"Helloooooo Ajdiiiiiin," he said.

"Hi Ooogie," I replied.  "I didn't know you work at the DMV.  Can you help me with my license and car registration?"

"Yesssss.  Buuuut pleeeeasseeee taaaaake a nuuuumbeeer."  He handed me a ticket.  I was number 26.


"What number is being called now?" I asked.

Ooogie pointed to the sign on the front of the counter.

"Threeeeeee.  Doeeeeesss anyyyyoneeeee haaaave nuuuumbeeer threee?  Anyyyyyoneeee?  Anyyyoneeee?"

I guess I will be at the DMV for a while today.

Fall chill

Wow!  Do you see those trees over there?  Their leaves are changing color, from green to yellow to orange to red!


That means the weather is getting colder.  Even though I have fur, I still feel a slight chill in the air.  I have to rub my paws together to keep warm.  But my mom says she has some new clothes for me.  I hope it isn't a pair of winter pants because as you probably know, I am not a fan of pants.


Oh, it's a new coat!


It has a cool camouflage print, a fuzzy collar, and two buttoned pockets in the front for holding snacks.


I'll try it on right now.


I hope it fits.


I put one arm in first, then the other.


Yeah, it fits!  Now I will be warm all fall and winter long!
