And finally: Monday Mood
Alice Shortcake shares a sleepy giraffe.
Definitely a Monday mood today.
This little face helped a bit.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!💕💙💕💙 Tiny Tongue!!
Is it weird that ^this^ face reminds me of Buddy Hackett?
I can see it…
So can I.
Thanks, I feel so validated! 🙂
Here’s another view:
My Monday mood is postponed to Tuesday as my work is closed for Martin Luther King Jr Day. But all this cuteness makes for a good start no matter the day of the week. Grabby hands for those mugs! So many I want. Plus she makes vases, and just animals, and earrings! Such talent! Went to the website and welp, out of my price range. $165 for a mug!! 😳😱I’d be afraid to drink tea from it. I understand being fairly compensated for the materials, your time, etc but just wow. And good for her, she’s mostly sold out.
No holiday for us here. And they’re predicting snow tomorrow (1-3 inches, apparently). At least I work from home Tuesday and Wednesday. Just hoping it’s not enough that I have to dig out and move my car.
I too love those mugs–I’d use them as air plant holders. But *things* happen, especially when you live with 5 cats.
*Things* happen when I hold breakable objects. I swear that was my first thought on seeing the link picture.
Anyone else have an overwhelming urge to gently poke that little belly?
Shut down the internet. I’m ded. And yes I want to poke that belly.
Sweepy giraffe reminds of a baby heffalump learning to use a trunk. So sweet, I’ve got a cavity.
No day off for me (which is fine because I took long weekends over the holidays). It’s still below 0 Fahrenheit here and it’s snowing again. We’ve got a wind chill warning until 11 am tomorrow. Getting up at 5:30 am and driving 38 miles to work, mostly in the dark, will not be fun.
Dog photos are absolutely stunning. I’m also in love with Barnabe and his oven mitts.
Lavender has been batting at the snow again. She’s so cute when she does this. Okay, she’s cute no matter what she does.
Mondays are actually good for me. At least for another year or so. There’s a japanese light novel I read and the company that distributes them in the US has a service that will let you read the chapters as they are translated before the whole novel is released. I get to read a new translation of my favorite series every Monday and that has me actually looking forward to the next Monday. The main character is called Myne so my Mondays have become Myne-days.
My favorite of the critter pics:
