Happy Birthday Miles!!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I picked up Miles from the mall today. He is just the cutest little monkey!!

I will be uploading more pictures later, but for now, here he is all dressed up and ready for his WORLD TOUR!! BTW, it’s not too late too sign up if you’d like to spend a week with this adorable little critter!

Some more issues with the Tour:

Miles is leaving me in his best formal attire! This clothing is appropriate for dinners, night clubs, yuppie social events and high class strip clubs. What fun it will be for everyone to get him new clothes to match what he’s doing. For instance, someone is going to let him play in the mountains and ride a buffalo. He should probably have some kind of safari outfit for that, right? And some beach clothes for southern California and really thick jacket for Canada… you get the idea. Dozens and dozens of outfits can be purchased at a Build a Bear, Bear Factory, Teddy Hut, or any kind of teddy bear making store you may have in your mall. If you do not have something like that near you (write your Congressman), baby clothes would work. He’s 18" long, so that should give you an idea for size.
But the mall shops have really neat stuff for any occassion! Or if you’re so inclined, you could make him something.

Tripler will not be able to get him clothes since he’s in the Middle East. But (you know who you are) whoever is mailing Miles to Tripler, hook him up with some desert camo clothes. If you don’t have resources available, let me know and I will buy another outfit for him and put that in the box too. I’d really like him to tour the desert in some Desert Camies.

Here’s a picture of him:

I love the Build - A - Bear store! I didn’t know they had monkeys! Seems time for a new trip to the mall!

He is soooooooooo odorable! You want people to buy him clothes?? Heck, it’s a good think he’s not living with me, or it’d be a brown paper bag and a rope! Ha!

What about urban cammo? Or is Miles too good for that?

I didn’t either! But as soon as I walked in I saw him. And right away I knew Miles was meant to be a Monkey!!! After all, monkeys are inherantly way funnier than bears. And they look som much better with clothes on. Especially a tuxedo! MONKEY BUTLERS!!

One thing about Build-A-Bear… Do Not go to the mall 30 minutes before closing time to create your new toy. The very bored employees had nothing better to do in their empty little store than make me do a million stupid things before stuffing my monkey.
I didn’t want to be a poor sport, but somewhere after the spinning around 5 times, the five push-ups, the walk like a duck around the display while quaking… WTF?!? Just make the damn bear already.
Is this normal? I heard they usually make you do something before sticking the heart in the bear… but this girl was making me do everything…

I’m so excited! We’ll have such a good time in Nashville that he may not want to come home. :wink:

You can post his pictures at fathom for free and it’s much easier to open links.

I wonder if he wants to meet any Country music stars?

Nothing’s required. I just think it would be neat. The whole point is to have fun. If ya can spare an outfit, great! If not, no biggie. His tuxedo pants double as pretty nice shorts. And there’s nothing that says a monkey can’t go around shirtless with just some black shorts.

Ha! Monkey!

I want to get him a cowboy hat, if I’m the one to get him in Austin.

I’m a spoil sport and I tell them to just stuff the bear and get over it! They do get out of control with that - I think it is just their way of making up for working at retail hell. My daughter loves build a bear and has a bear, 2 doggies and a kitty. The problem is she’s terrified of the stuffing machine - she is only 3 - so I get to do the stuffing part. Yay me.
