Plates and Rock Lobsters

Monday, December 14 did not have an auspicious start.  Shortcake was just about to eat her delicious breakfast when the plate fell.  On her foot.  Breakfast went everywhere.  Luckily, the plate did not break.  Neither did Shortcake's foot.  The breakfast was... unsalvageable.  So, not only did Shortcake have a bruised and swollen foot, but she had to remake her breakfast.

The bruise got purpler as the day went on.

Perhaps because of the foot, perhaps because it was Monday, perhaps because Shortcake was short of seep (as usual), Shortcake was quite sassy that Monday.  She still managed to have a dance party with Biscuits, and she hugged Jangles and Snowball (for the first time all season!).  At the end of the day, she hugged Santa, and they both leaned on each other so heavily, they started melting towards the ground in a big pile of hug.  So, be not afraid, gentle readers, Santa gets his sass in too.  Sometimes Shortcake has to stay sassy just to hold her own.

Afterwards, Shortcake headed off to have dinner with her friends at the (very fancy) Plaza.  It's a holiday tradition.  She was early, so she looked at the Bergdorf Goodman windows, which are always excellent.  These are her two favorites this year:

      

When she arrived at the Plaza, she saw a sign.

If only she hadn't just come from working with him...

Shortcake had dinner with friends, and, while there, she colored in the turtle on the kids menu.  Because they don't let you color on the adults menu.  And the Plaza does not stint on their crayons.  These were brand-new, never-used, Crayola crayons.  This is the good stuff.

Rock Lobsters!

Penguins on the subway!
