Pre-Teaser Monday

That’s right – time to get ready for the Teaser tomorrow!

Good Morning Class!

It’s the day before Teaser and we are going to try to get you READY for guessing where tomorrow’s photo was taken.   You know how tough this can be – from start to finish – but we know you enjoylearning about new places and besides – this is just plain FUN right?      We will show you a photo tomorrow and you will tell us WHERE the photo was taken and you have just two rules to follow when you make your guess:

We hope that you will definitely follow BOTH of these rules…………we need complete guesses and we like it if you don’t use any kind of program that you can load an image into and find out where the photo was taken.   That’s no challenge really – we’d rather you look at the photo and give it a try without help!!!

We also need to remind you that even though the Teaser post pops up at a totally random time each week so you never know WHEN it will arrive – you might be the FIRST COMMENTER – so when you get here tomorrow – comment!    You could win this:

Then we have further badges for you to win – FIRST RIGHT GUESSER, RIGHT GUESSER NOT FIRST, and WRONG GUESSER (our infamous Greenie awards!):

Tomorrow’s photo is another GUEST TEASER too.    We received two photos of this place but will use only one for the Teaser and will show you BOTH photos on the TELL ALL post on Wednesday when we pass out badges to those who earned one!!

I WANT A BADGE THIS WEEK!!! I’m gonna study SOOO HARD!

That’s good !   I like enthusiastic students !

But just in case you need a little ENCOURAGEMENT, the Cheer Team is here today – team???

My team is sick – they have the flu
So I’m alone to cheer for you!
I’ll do my best to get you excited –
If you win a badge you’ll be SO delighted!
The rest of my crew should be here tomorrow…
If not they’ll be fired and there will be pain and sorrow!
Remember long ago I was here all alone?
Now we’re two cats and two dogs with catnip and chew bones!
We’ll see you tomorrow now don’t show up sleepy
You can’t see the photo if your eyes are all weepy!

 

Thanks Suzie……..I hope your fellow cheer members will be alright tomorrow – sounds like you will be showing them the door if they call in sick again!

Any questions class???

Yes Bobby???

Professors are we getting a snack today???

Why yes Bobby I do believe that Miss Dingleberry is treating us all to another day of possible bathroom issues with her fabulous Mexican Fiesta foods…………she’s set up her “stand” out in the hallway.     I also believe that the bathroom attendants are standing by for any – well – emergencies that may occur as a result of all the hot hot hot food Miss Dingleberry fixed.

Oh goodie…..Mexican food….good thing we have tons of toilet paper!

See you tomorrow class!   Good luck with lunch…….!

Professor Angel Sam and Ted too!

Don’t forget to comment first when you get here tomorrow!!!!!!

Pre-Teaser Monday (and more…)

YES it is, and we are just starting class at Ding Dong School so take a seat!

It’s Monday and time for us to get you pumped up for tomorrow when it will be up to you to take a close look at a photo and tell us WHERE WAS THIS TAKEN???!!!    It might sound easy but trust me – NOT NECESSARILY!     True we have some easy ones but often we have toughies.

Remember first of all that whoever is FIRST to comment tomorrow is a winner…………what of????   This:

Last Tuesday we had THREEEEEEEE First Commenters and each of them got a copy of this badge!     So when you arrive tomorrow – comment first then take a seat for class.

Gosh I wanna win that badge so I’ll be here EARLY!

Me too! I’m gonna even skip breakfast to get here EARLY!

We have other badges that you can win too………..if you’re FIRST RIGHT GUESSER, if you are a RIGHT GUESSER NOT FIRST and if you are WRONG!

Just to remind you of the rules for tomorrow when it comes to making a guess:

So are we all set on the rules?

All set on the rules and DETERMINED to win!

Now you know that normally Suzie and company don’t give you a cheer on Mondays………….they save it up for Tuesdays and Wednesdays…………but our very own Sarge thought you might appreciate a little ENCOURAGEMENT for tomorrow as only HE could provide……………….Take it away Sarge!

Rrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiippppppppppp!

uhoh………….wardrobe malfunction……….Sarge thanks for trying – suggestion get those pants to the school seamstress ASAP and you might want to go to the school Jacuzzi and soak a while – no doubt those legs are sore!

Well, tomorrow the girls will be here and they don’t do any ATHLETIC moves other than shaking their pom poms so no danger of “issues” for them.

Now – who wants a snack?

REALLY????? HONEST????

YES YES YES WE ARE READY FOR A SNACK!!!

I brought my OWN snack!

Yeah I’ve got that Valentine’s Day hairnet again….remember – no jokes!   I’m going to have a SPECIAL Valentine’s Day snack for you on Wednesday……..don’t expect these little treats all the time now – it’s because they pay me EXTRA to provide something CUTE to you on SPECIAL school days!

 

See the sign?   Wash hands FIRST!  

Then come back for popcorn OR cotton candy – you have to choose ONE!  

After all this stuff is expensive you know!

We’ll see you all tomorrow at a SURPRISE TIME!   

Profs Angel Sam and Teddy

EXTRA – EXTRA – READ ALL ABOUT IT! 

YAY FOR TEDDY!!!!!!

Today is Teddy’s FIRST “Gotcha” Anniversary!

One year ago today, my husband David and I made a trip to our local shelter to meet a sweet 11 month old ginger kitten they had added to their website as being “adoptable”.     We had waited a few months after helping our sweet Sammy to the Rainbow Bridge before we felt ready to adopt again and when I saw this little boy – I knew we HAD to go see him!

He was a real cutie……..he was larger than Sammy had been at almost one year old – but he was just the SWEETEST little guy – he was just SO HAPPY!    The shelter helper took him out of his cage there and let me hold him and he made biscuits in my lap the entire time – he just never stopped…..even when I put him down on the floor to play with him – he hugged my legs and looked me straight in the eye and I could “SEE” him saying “PLEASE TAKE ME HOME!!”

SO WE DID!  

This past year has flown by………..as time does…………and we can’t believe we’ve had Teddy in our lives now for a whole year but it’s been a FUN year and a happy year and two hearts that had been broken when Sammy left healed quickly as we realized Teddy was definitely the best thing that could have happened to us……………and we also felt strongly that Sammy had sent Teddy to us to raise with the love HE had known for almost 18 years.

Every day is an adventure with Teddy………..and we know he will keep us YOUNG (well……maybe not younger in years but younger at heart!)………and we hope it’s at least for as many years as we had with our beloved Sammy.

So while we’re not having a party here with food and balloons (well – maybe a few!) – we are celebrating the day by giving our little guy all the hugs and kisses he will tolerate – because……..

Today is HIS day (and ours too!)

Pre-Teaser Monday

Brrrrr…….hurry inside class and get warm!

Yes!   That’s what we wanna know – will you be ready tomorrow?

We will be gathering for Geography class tomorrow morning at a SECRET time (so be alert for incoming mail in the morning) and we hope to see your smiling face there.    We know that today is a holiday for our USA friends – it’s Martin Luther King Day…………so that means lots of extra time to study right?   Right!

I must say that the photo we have for you to examine and figure out tomorrow is not only a GUEST TEASER photo but it’s a goodie……….we think it’s got potential to be a TRUE TOUGHIE.   So make sure you get plenty of sleep tonight class – no foolin’ !

If you are the very first to arrive tomorrow at class – make sure and make a COMMENT – why?   Because you might win this:

Then it’s time to make a guess – and here are the GUESSING rules!!

If you are lucky enough to guess correctly and if you are FIRST to guess correctly then you win this:

If you are RIGHT with your guess but aren’t the first one to be right…….you get this:

If you are WRONG – just plain WRONG – then you still win a little something:

SEE???  Everybody is a winner!!

So now that we’ve got you prepped for class tomorrow………you can spend the rest of the day studying hard…………..cool huh??

Well, I don’t know about it being COOL, but it’s a good idea to be purrpared!

Yeah….even if we don’t know what COUNTRY to study, we can look at architectural styles or something like that to be SHARP!

We will look for you tomorrow at a SURPRISE time……..and good luck!

Sounds totally Groovy Professor Dudes…..

There’s a rumor that it will be “fried foods that are awful for us” day in the Ding Dong Cafeteria tomorrow! YAY!!!

Professors Angel Sammy and Teddy too!
