Taking to the Street

Sorry to anyone who assumed from the title that I had anything to say about protesting anything. I was referring to Sesame Street. Let me explain.

I have two hats featuring Sesame Street characters. One is a green one with Oscar the Grouch's face on it. I used to only wear it when I was running outside in cool weather- yes, actually running- but as that happened zero times in 2025 and hasn't yet this year, I've taken to wearing it just because it's winter and being cold makes me crabby. I figured I better give people fair warning when they see me coming. I started off the cold season wearing my blue Cookie Monster hat that has tassels hanging down which frame my face. Now I'm kind of grabbing whichever one is handy on the way out the door.

So, my school friends, who have been giggling at my hats for months now, decided to run with it as a theme. Look at my birthday loot!

I am fairly certain that my adult friends enjoy that I actually wear this stuff even more than my preK crew does! The kids, however, are huge fans of my ginormous Cookie Monster water bottle. Now I have zero excuses for not staying hydrated!

Thanks for all my birthday well wishes and gifts!
