We are still around. Unfortunately, our Editor-in-chief (scribe actually) has been a little on the absent side and since we have a little trouble typing (paws do not always work well with keyboards) nothing has been entered for a while. Hopefully that will be changing with some prodding from a friend this past weekend. Now if the Editor-in-chief can find the camera we can get back into the business of posting.

ESIE'S (ESMARELDA) INTRODUCTION
So a while back I was walking through my house. I found myself stopping and backing up to peek around the doorway into one of the rooms. Sitting there was a most delightful little elf. She was looking around and humming to herself. She seemed to be waiting for someone.
ME: "Uh, hello, may I help you? You seem to waiting for someone. You will have to excuse me but I am little surprised to find someone in my house that I was not expecting."
She looked up at me and laughing softly said:
"Sorry, I was not expecting anyone to be here. Yes, I am meeting a friend. Oh dear, where are my manners? My name is . . . ."
Just then Robin appears from out of no where and shouts
"Esie, you made it. You came!" and then he hurtled himself into her arms.
After a few moments he settles himself beside her and they start having a most convivial conversation.
At this point I cleared my throat:
"Ahem, excuse me. Would someone please tell me what is going on?"
They both look up a bit embarrassed
Robin clears his throat and says
"I am so sorry. I totally forgot my manners!! This is my friend Esie. Actually, her name is Esmarelda but she prefers Esie. Esie, this is my friend Anne. She owns the house where I stay."
Esie gives a little smile and a wave
ME: "Hello Esie. Please to meet you."
Esie, shaking hands: "Likewise. Sorry to have startled you earlier."
Robin: "Esie has come for a little visit."
ME: "How nice. Esie, I hope you enjoy your visit."
Well, Esie must have really enjoyed her visit because she is still in residence at the house. I must say I do not mind. It has been a pleasure to have both of them there.

INTRODUCING ROBIN (BETTER LATE THAN NEVER)
So a while back I was sitting in a coffee shop minding my own business and waiting for some friends to show up. I was just kind of daydreaming when I heard a soft pop and on the table in front of me a box appeared:
I started to reach out for it but stopped when it started to rock a bit and a muffled voice could be heard. I could not make out the exact words but the voice seemed to be saying - "They said this was the way to do this and it would be easy to get out of this box. I beg to differ with them. It is not that easy. Wait, the lid is starting to move. Yeah!!" At that the moment to lid lifted and a figure could be seen:
I stared in fascination as the lid lifted higher:
With a final heave the lid flipped over onto the table and revealed the figure inside:
I watched as the little person in the box stood up and stepped out:
As he stood there dusting himself off a bit, I found my voice and said - "Who are you and where did you come from?"
He threw out his arms and said - "My name is Robin and I am here to be your new friend. The other Pix. . . Sorry, I meant to say my other friends told me that you needed a new friend and so here I am."
Still a bit stunned I reached out and shook his little hand. What else could I do?
Robin has been my friend since that time. I am hoping to do a few more stories with him. Here is one last pic of Robin as he kicks back and relaxes:

OH MY GOD - Updated Oct. 11, 2008
Originally posted Aug. 26, 2006 on the blog "Marmie's Meanderings".
Two weeks ago we went camping. I thought we would either be in a motor home or camper. We were in a TENT!!!! I do not do tents! It was horrible, IMO. I could not wait to get home because we were there from Wednesday to Sunday. I thought it was chilly and the nights were awful. I did not leave the tent the whole time we were there. In fact, I did not leave the bed and covers (well, I did to eat or go to the bathroom but that was all).
If Anne takes me camping again it will have to be in a motor home or camper. If not, then I will refuse to go at all.

CAMPING!! - Updated Oct. 11, 2008

Anne is taking us camping. I have never been before and I am really looking forward to the adventure. I wonder what size camper we are going to have? Since it is only one person and two stuffies, I think a 20' motor home would be nice. Even a really nice popup camper would work. We will be gone until some time this weekend. I will let you know how my camping adventure went after we return.

SHOPPING - Updated Oct. 11, 2008

I went shopping last Saturday and you should see what I bought . . .
(A: Marmie.
M: Uh, yeah.
A: Marmie! Just where are your manners?
M: Oh, sorry. Yes, ma'am?
A: Who went shopping and who bought?
M: We went shopping and you bought me some cool necklaces.
A: Thank you, Marmie. You may continue your story.)
Anne and I went shopping last Saturday and Anne bought me these cool "necklaces". They are actually bracelets but for me they are necklaces. Here is a picture of me with one of my new necklaces:
I have some other really cool necklaces for parties and the like. I don't know about earrings as my ears are a little small. Besides, I don't know if I want my ears pierced.
(A thought occurs to Marmie.
M: Anne, I have a question for you.
A: Yes, Marmie, what is it?
M: Why was Billy so upset with the calculator that I gave him. Was because it was a freebie?
A: No, that is not the reason, Marmie. Think about where we got the calculator.
M: We got the calculator at Claire's because we bought all the cool girl stuff. . . . Oh, is it because it says "Claire's" on it?
A: Yes, Dear. Just give Billy a little while to get used to it. Maybe we can see if we can also remove the "Claire's".)
Yesterday we went shopping again and I have a really neato lawn chair. I am hoping to get to use it at a picnic today. Pics to follow. Toodles for now

Hello world!!!!!! My name is Marmie, Marmie Marmoset, and this is my blog. Since I am a diva, I figured I deserved a blog. I mean after all my bestest bud, Billy, has one. I live in my friend's van and keep Billy company (sometimes). I sometimes accompany my friends to a Writers Group on Saturday. Recently I went with my friends to a party at Wendy and Trygve's. This is how I looked at the party.
Billy and I spent the evening visiting with Gage. I kind of wish I had met a few more of the people at the party. Oh well, next time.
This is one of my favorite pasttimes - talking on my cell phone. I so enjoy talking and visiting with people. So, keep an eye out for more of my meanderings. Till then, "Toodles"
