Our Favorite Flavor? Crackberry!

May 27, 2008 by WendyB

Even when traveling, we never leave work behind. ENC caught MrB and me doing the email thing at the San Diego Zoo yesterday.

In our defense, we were waiting for her to emerge from the restroom. It’s not like we were ignoring the pandas, koalas and giant anteaters. We gave them plenty of attention. In addition, we thought the albino python would make a fabulous pair of over-the-knee boots. And maybe a clutch.

    Wendy, we are on the same page, baby. Reptiles, in my opinion, are just Future Handbags!

    You two look so like a power couple! (aka we’re so busy and fabulous we have to Blackberry in the zoo…).
    Are pandas really as bad-tempered as everyone says? I still think they’re adorable animals though.

    i wouldn’t want shoes or bags made out of reptile skin – totally freaks me out. but that didn’t stop me from literally laughing my head off when i read this post. i think i’m going to have to stop reading your blog at the office. it’s hard to pretend that i’m totally absorbed in my emails…

    Hahaha….that’s too funny about converting the albino python into a bag and boots.

    That’s hilarious! I know, the Blackberry is an addictive little gadget.

    Oh, I have been so tempted to buy a blackberry recently… Advice? Is it worth the addiction? lol.

    Kill the snake!! The only thing I don’t like about the zoo is the reptile house. Don’t even like to go near it.

    He-weasel used to take me there to the San Diego zoo to see the bears. Le sigh! Hope you are having a great time in sunny San Diego.

    Oh dang, now the world will know I have a first name! 😉

    I think I really missed the boat not getting photos of the anteaters. They were very surreal.

    You guys make a better exhibit, though.

    Well, a person can only stare at pandas for so long. I mean, they’re cute and all but no match for email.

    Love the sunglasses!

    An ex has an albino burmese and even though I loved it, I still think it would have made an excellent pair of shoes. And bag to match, of course.

    I took my children to a little zoo called Regal Reptiles and have to admit all I could think about was the potential for all sorts of fabulous bags and shoes.

    I love that you look at the python and see shoes and accessories. A woman after my own heart!

    Did you notice the giraffes are “missing” – they are currently at the Wild Animal Park while their new digs are being dug.
    ~Tessa
    P.S. I’m at that damn zoo every week w/my 4yo son. We always do the reptile house last. Once around then home.

  35. Tessa says

    May 28, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    OK I guess the giraffes are back.
