Toberscapes

Okay, okay, okay--time to tell you about my Big Event!

On Monday, my staff went to the Ulen Country Club in Lebanon, Indiana, to decorate a Tober-themed table for this thing called Tablescapes. Tablescapes is a fundraiser presented by the Women's Fund of Boone County. Folks from different businesses and organizations decorate some tables, and then a bunch of people pay moneys to come a look at them, and some of them get to have lunch at the special decorated tables.

So my library made a Toberscape.


You HAVE to biggify this picture to truly appreciate its Awesomeness!

There are Tober Placemats and Goldfish crackers (People Treats) and fancy-folded napkins (humans are messy eaters) and Feline Training Devices and a flower arrangement (the yummy fake kind) and a Betta fish named Max and a superbly painted fake ME and a real live Catnip plant!


I am so excited to be a table centerpiece! Eight people are going to sit around and gaze in fascination at my beautiful display--how lucky are they? I even put business cards at each place so that my diners can visit my blog.

Here is one more picture of my table:


My staff all worked really really hard to make my table the best table it could be. Special headbumps go to my AAB Alec, who painted the fake Tober and saved him from looking like a giant Cheeto.

Oh, and I suppose I'd better post a real picture so you can appreciate my handsomeness. . .


Don't the glowy eyebrows make me look distinguished?

Center of the universe a table,

Preparations

I have a Big Day coming up next week!

My staff has been getting ready for it, and I have been supervising:


I can't wait to show you the final result, but you will have to wait until Monday (or maybe Tuesday, you know how these things go) to see it! (So will I, so don't feel too left out.)

So excited!

A new Art has been commissioned to be the "centerpiece" of this Big Event. It is actually being painted as I type this.

So excited!

But until then, let me show you another Art that was created and donated by my friend Parker. I think she has the makings of a great Crayon artiste:


Isn't that a fantastic piece of work?

Ready for my Big Day,

Tober

Finally Friday

The library meeting rooms have been visited by an Anonymous Artist. This person has captured very perfectly my expression when about 30 children come to pet me at the same time:


Isn't that great? No one seems to know who made this wonderful Picture of me, but AAB Becki has been commanded NOT to erase it from the wipey-board. (She usually listens pretty well.)

But just in case someone comes in who DOESN'T listen, it is now preserved forever and ever on the Internets.

AAB Christine, in her (vain) attempts to be officially re-Hired, has been bribing me with fresh Catnip.


Do you see the orange posty-note in the background? That is my reminder to thank Von for bringing in nice blue "deposit" bags for me (mostly because my Blog-helper is forgetful and doesn't help me post enough). Blue is a manly color, so they are double-appreciated. Thank you, Von!

Junior and Orion let me know that I was featured on mousebreath! earlier this week. I had never heard of mousebreath! before, but now I know that it's a really neat online magazine by cats and for cats (and cat lovers). Skeezix submitted a nice post about my Bossliness, and as a result of his writing, I am now officially Emperor of the Library!

According to Wikipedia (which may-or-may-not-be-true), "the emperor of Japan is the only reigning monarch with the title." Well! I'm just going to have to fix that silly Wikipedia article, I think.

I hope everyone has a happy weekend!
