Beentsy!
What else could it be? Okay, how about Beentsy in a basket?
Just so everyone knows, she has lost a lot of weight since this picture. She no longer fills an entire Ikea laundry basket. Turns out, she had a thyroid problem. Who knew?

Hey, I finished some stuff!

Sometimes it freezes and when it does some safety conscious person puts tiny traffic cones all around the edge. Some sort of warning to stay off the ice, I’m assuming.

2008, still all about the more
Things have been busy around here at the house of beentsy. There’s been spinning:
