pocket

There you go, Bean. Put your money in your pocket. Perfect!










Another note: Bean might be going on a little hiatus because I'm moving and don't have i-net set up yet in the new place! But I'll get him up as soon as I can.

wad

Bean, keeping all your money in a wad of cash in your hands is just not safe. Why don't I buy you a magic wallet from JCrew? And we'll pick up this t-shirt for you while we're there.

karate chop!

Wow, Bean, I didn't know that I should consider you a lethal weapon. I might have a little more trouble in airports now. As if having the last name Ashkar and flying to NYC all the time wasn't bad enough!

work it

How's that new job going, Bean?
You look so professional!











And on another note: Twinklebee loves Bean! She blogs about arts & crafts & pretty things and gave him a shout out on her blog! Thank you, twinklebee!
And keep workin' it, Bean!

ball and chain

Bean, how'd you end up in that get up!?
Oh Bean, what am I going to do with you!
Unless Elvis or Johnny Cash is coming to sing to you, I am NOT happy about this.

scratch scratch

Itches.

gelato-lishous

Before Bean leaves Italy he had to get some gelato. 2 scoops of course!

Bean, it tastes better when it goes in your mouth, not on it. But I guess you're saving some for later.

empty

Finally leaving the upper room
Cautious, nervous, and scared
Running with hesitation
Don't want to be the first one there.
Peering into the darkness
Letting eyes adjust
Worried about what could be
starting to turn to dust
But there are only folded cloths and linens on the floor
And I've never been so happy to not find what I came looking for!

Happy Easter, He is Risen!

Roma

Bean is headed to Rome for a Roman holiday!
Take a picture with a gladiator for me!

spring break

Bean is on spring break visiting Italy. He's going on a gondola ride in Venice right after he feeds the pigeons and re-enacts a scene from "The Birds".

get it

Bean said he'd get you another ice cream, not pay for it. Got any cash?
Are you silly; Bean doesn't have any money! I don't want my savings blown on popsicles, marshmallows, and bunnies/chipmunks.

i scream

Bean doesn't know where your ice cream cone went. But he'll buy you another one because he likes you.

harmie

Bean is rippin' on that harmonica! Somebody grab a fiddle quick, and a banjo, and a washboard!

hug & kiss

Bean looks like a potato so he feels he has a bit o' irish in him. So go ahead and kiss him, right after he gets done hugging himself. But feel free to pinch him, too. You know you want to!

bored

Sometimes Bean just has too much time on his hands.

whammy

It's hard to get a good picture of Bean when there are strobe lights going off and dry ice fog and girls pushing you and stuff. Especially if he's on a revolving stage.

Rock on, Bean!

te he he

Bean gets goofy when he's in love.

heads up

Bean is hoping for a hole in one!

That's a great stance, Bean! Fore!

glee

Bean is so full of love sometimes he just doesn't know what to do with himself! All he can do is shut his eyes tight and squeal with glee. But doing that for too long makes him dizzy and lightheaded which then requires a nap. Nap time!

spot

Can you spot Bean some change, he's only got $2.93 and it costs $43.99 for that parakeet he's been eying at the pet store. Oh, and maybe just a couple more dollars for a cage, some food, and a digital video camera. You know, for the videos of "Pokey" that Bean will be shooting. Who knew those birds sounded so creepy.

gift box

Never look a gift Bean in the mouth.
Then you'll see that he ate some of the chocolates he is giving you on the way over.

How many?

Bean, How many cuppycakes did you eat this morning?
What is that? A three, a four or a five?

uhhhhhhhhhh

After a 3/4lb. burger, Bean usually goes into a food coma.
It's a happy place for Bean.

for you!

Bean picked out this flower just for you!


I mean literally - picked out.

biters

You forgot to bring the bait?
I don't think the fishes will like your sour gummi worms as much as you do, Bean. But you can try.

digit

Bean hurt his finger.
Wanna see it? It's broken a little.

slippery

Whatcha doing down there, Bean?

You slipped? Don't be embarrassed, it happens to everyone!
And that's a great hat.

tightening

Bean just doesn't think he'd look good with a face-lift.

o happy day

It's Sunday and Bean is dressed like the King.
You know what that means...
Have yourself a Happy Day!
