anti-holiday: declaring today as national I am getting tired of winter day

Yesterday I wonder "sore throat?" and the wife is all sneezy....routine, maybe, but will they get worse? I have a busy week of dog walking ahead.... and everything else.  The weather report is also like "below zero" and overnight the snowplow is going back and forth on the street out front.  A few more inches of THAT sh!t.  *

SO basically I declare, as I do so often "this is national I am getting tired of winter day" and this jar that just came out of the kiln, Godzilla making a rude gesture and eating a dismembered person?  THAT represent this new holiday.
*Actually I feel quite good today, the wife too...the temp is already up to ten degrees, and it was only, what, 5-6 inches new snow on the ground?  Is it just my espresso or is it gonna be a less than awful day???? :)




A friend is over the other day and we are talking about these "I didn't know these open" she tells me, and I am like "YEP.  people always ask what can you do with it? Those times I am always thinking DUMBASS, have you NO IMAGINATION??? I guess not everybody is as imaginative as me"
and I continue telling my friend "And between you and me, somebody once said they would make an excellent STASH BOX".  Ahem.
Yep, stash yer valuables in there....ok then!



You all know I love mother and child sculptures.  So here is rude Godzilla jar, and also mama chicken and chick, mama elephant and baby :)
