nose to nose...

...the diva - and a snowbear

the best laid plans for my blip - once again - thrown out the window as i came upon a precious moment with the princess gracie that'll probably never happen again... i dared not ignore it then, right - as she explored a decoration she's never had access to before...

huh... lookit what you've found then -

meep - meep... what is it, mama? it's almost as big as i am - but won't respond to me, how rude - meep... it's not blinking

it's a snowbear, gracie... i only put it out at christmas time - in the past, it was on a table you weren't able to reach - now you can jump up on this ottoman to investigate it... whatdaya think?

meow - meow - he seems kind of cold... a bit sparkly, prickly

oh... that's because he's got this stuff called glitter on him - and princess - ummm... he's not real - so this isn't a snowbear to play with - it's not even a toy, understand? only a decoration... besides - you wouldn't like it if i brought another "real" animal into the house - would you? i could - if you wanted - there's a thought... a mini-diva... that'd be a cool christmas present to you - and me...

meep - meep... mama, i won't play with this bear thing - it's a little too stuffy anyway - i don't want sparkly crinkly glitterys on my fluffy kitty fur, either... and don't go getting any ideas in your blonde head - i am the princess diva gracie of the house... the one and only - we don't need any mini-diva's running around - imagine the trouble it would be to break them in - nope - not a good idea - i don't want - let's keep it me and you... meep

that's the longest little speech you've given me in some time, diva - boo! alright... i won't surprise you for christmas - we'll continue on as we've been - status quo - knowing how it always makes for...

a

happy day.....
