Yesterday I was invited to an online party, so I chatted for
an hour with a bunch of people I don’t know. The topic of the party was
avoiding “adultitis,” so people posted questions like, “What is the silliest
thing you have done lately?” and “What do you sing to make yourself happy?” I
posted a picture of my little snowman and got some interesting suggestions for
naming him, like Summer and Saki (get it? “Sock-y”?), and several people suggested Pilly because he looks
like the Pillsbury Doughboy. How about Frost-toe the Snowman? Tiffy and
Kathbert both thought of Sockitume, and Ma Hat suggested Toby, which is cute
and has that added pun dimension for a sock snowman of Toe-by. So then I
thought maybe Tobit, or possibly Benji, because he is full of rice and Uncle
Ben’s is a famous brand of rice. Kathbert suggested a Lutheran hymn writer
named Hans Sachs (pronounced Socks), but she also suggested combining Toby and
Benji into Benito, which is kind of cute. Anyway, the snowman still does not
have a name, but during the online party I entered a contest, which was to
comment on the organizer’s question: “What are you optimistic about?” Other
people said 2017 or their new job, things like that, but I just said, “Everything!”
and I guess the organizer liked my attitude, because I won a T-shirt!! It has a
picture of a cartoon bee on it and says: “Bee optimistic.” I am optimistic that
it will arrive in the mail soon, and then I will take a selfie while wearing it
and post it on this blog. Yay! What a fun online party!
