Mickey Squared

So ya’'ll have known for awhile about my special graduation Mickey Mouse plush. (He will get his own post soon!)

Well about my third week of college life or so, I got a package slip in my mail box.  I asked (okay, texted) MMM if she’d sent me something, but she hadn’t.  As the slip gave me no indication of the sender (it only had my name), I was extremely curious.
But doesn’t curiosity killed the cat?

(Where does that come from, anyway?)

Oops, rabbit trail!

As soon as I was done with classes for the day, I headed to the library to retrieve my package.  Lo and behold, it was from Fairy Grandmother.  And that made me more curious.

Not just a card but a package?

In my dorm room, I got to work tearing it open.  It was small, just fitting in the palm of my hand.

Well, apparently, Grandma is repetitive (in a good way) because it was…

Another Mickey.




Yeah, he looks a bit weird here.

According to the accompanying letter, she said she found him in a thrift store near where she lived and thought of me.  Figured I could clip him onto my backpack via the special clip on his head.



He even comes with his own backpack -- hence
his name: Mickey Mouse Backpack Pal.

Inside his backpack, there's a small notebook
and a pencil for him to use for taking notes...
on what is the question.

While I could find a place for him to hang from my messanger bag, I think he looks fantasmic hanging from my corkboard!  A small reminder of home away at home.

And of course he just had to meet the other resident Mickey:



Awh, they look so darn cute together!
Think Minnie would approve? :)
