Its been a long, dark week in the news, scratch that March was all kinds of suck. SCOTUS sticking to their "money is speech" meme. Another shooting at Ft. Hood. Outbreaks of mumps and measles since people aren't vaccinating their kids like they used to. Snow, snow and more f-ing snow. And so much more.

By the end of the week, we are all tired and worn out. My intention is to keep Friday's light, fluffy and hopefully funny. While I'm by no mean as funny as the tongue in cheek, Blog Queen of Snark, Miss Vel, I will try my best.

So let the fluffiness begin!



Everyone loves a panda, whether that be in the zoo or in the wild (preferable in the wild) but DC has a special warm, gooey soft spot in its usually cold heart of those fluffy buggers. This writer is no exception. While I don't go down to the zoo very often, I know they mean well but they make me a little sad, I've visited almost every panda that has been there, starting with my grandparents taking me to see Ling-Ling and Hsing Hsing way back yonder.

Anyway, this week Bao Bao set her little paws outside for the first time. And the news, zoo visitors and locals went nuts





First Tree Climbing -






VICTORY!



Okay - that's enough cuteness to overload a person this morning. Hope you enjoyed the stress relief.
