Boxers or briefs?

I received a package from my friend Sandy a couple weeks ago.

He also sent along a postcard with salmonberries on the front. Sandy wrote that he got these boxers sometime ago for a Bob T. Bear challenge and thought I might like them.

I was beary intrigued, as I have never had boxers before. I looked inside.

And there they were - a pair of BearBoxers.

I had never seen such a thing before in my life. But now I felt conflicted, as I had to struggle with my feelings of disdain for pants and related clothing.

Would I be brave enough to try them on?

Well, here goes nothing. Give me one moment please.

Uh, hello? Are you still there? This is a bit embarrassing. Should I come out? It's not that often that I walk around in underwear.

Ok, what do you think?

The fit is comfortable, more comfortable than pants. And I can definitely see myself lounging around in them.

I will say... I rather like them!

Thank you beary much, Sandy, for these boxers!

Catching up!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, followed by a Merry Christmas, and finally a Happy New Year!

Let's catch up on a few things, shall we?

But first, check out this cool jersey I'm wearing. My friend Droopy got it for me after our hometown heroes, the Houston Astros, won the World Series in November! CHAMPS, YEAH!

I also have quite a bit of mail to catch up on. I got these cool Halloween cards from Jerry and Ben and a gift card from Starbucks as a prize for my entry in their annual Halloween contest. I also got a card from Sandy with a Halloween hamster on it. Beary cool!

Next, I got some holiday cards from Little Fox, Jerry and Ben, and Sandy. We sent out cards too, but we were cutting it close so they may have been a little delayed (again, looking for new secretary in 2023).

Thanks for all the mail, everyone! Snail mail is the best. :)

My 10th Bearthday!

Hey everyone, I'm so excited for today. Do you know why? Because it's...

MY 10TH BEARTHDAY!

My mom has a gift for me, from the Build-A-Bear Workshop of course!

It's a tuxedo!

I'm going to try it on right now! Excuse me as I do a little quick change...

Oh... this seems to come with pants... hmm... I guess I'll wear them for now just to see how they look...

Ta-da!

How do I look? I'm rather feeling myself in this tuxedo, 'cause when you look good, you feel good!

The name's Bear. James Bear.

Whaddya think? Do I have what it takes to be the next 007?

Let's get back to the gifts. My friend Droopy gifted me a puzzle roll-up mat. I've been working on some fun jigsaw puzzles lately so this will definitely come in handy. Thanks Droopy!

My mom also made me a cake. Here's the big reveal.

Yes, I love it! It's a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

Thanks everyone for the bearthday wishes!

New stuff!

"Hello, Ajdin! I have some goodies for you today," said Uncle Tibbs. He was holding a bag that said BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP.

"Wow, for me?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, the Build-a-Bear Workshop still has nothing in my size," he said, "but I found a few things for you!"

I looked inside.

It's an apron!

This apron is perfect for baking, cooking, or crafting so I can stay nice and clean! And it even has two convenient pockets on the front for storing snacks.

And... a khaki safari vest!

Perfect for safari trips and exploring the outback! I can alternate wearing this with my Bear Cub Scout uniform for outdoor adventures. And maybe I can start a new pin collection on this safari vest! It also has a pocket on the front for holding snacks.

And finally... a magician's cape! Plus magic wand! And a hat!

I'm ready to do some magic tricks! This is SUPER exciting!

"Uncle Tibbs, thank you so much!"

I can't wait to have my first magic show!

Build-A-Bear shopping

Today, I was in for a real treat! My mom told me there was still a balance left on this Build-A-Bear Workshop gift card. Time for some online shopping!

Look, Build-A-Bear Workshop is having a sale this weekend - perfect! I wonder what good deals I can find.

Some skirts and tutus? No thanks! I'm not auditioning for Swan Lake anytime soon.

Boxer briefs? No!

Pants? Definitely not! You all know how I feel about pants.

What's this? Star Wars costumes? Now we're getting closer.

*some time later*

Well, I placed my order and I can't wait for it to arrive! What do you think I bought?

New shirt!

My mom recently visited the Build a Bear Workshop and came home with a treat for me.

It's not my birthday or anything - I guess I am just a lucky bear! Let's see what's inside.

Oh cool! It's a new shirt, and it's similar to the one I'm currently wearing with a plaid shirt over a graphic tee.

I'm gonna try it on!

I really like the colors on this one.

There we go - how do I look?
