Leftovers

You know how when you go to some restaurants and you have leftovers and you ask for a doggie bag and they say, "Surely. Let me wrap it up for you!" and then they whisk away your half-eaten whatever and come back with it cleverly disguised as a big foil swan or big foil goat or some such shit?

Wanna know what happens at OUR house when your leftovers consist of one turkey sausage and two Yukon potatoes?

Voila:

Ladies and gentlemen: FRIDGE DICK!!

BH packed this up all nice for me so I could take it to work and have it for lunch tomorrow.

He's so sweet...

The Geej spent Saturday night with my mother. One of the things The Geej loves about my mom's house--besides the fact that she has her OWN room with her OWN toys including a huge and fully-furnished dollhouse and a play kitchen and her OWN computer--is the fact that it has stairs. I too was fascinated with stairs when I was little--always wanting to climb any staircase I saw so that I could discover what was "up there". The Geej has requested, in fact, that our next house have not only a swimming pool and a playground, but also a flight of stairs.

So, when you marry her love of stairs with her excitement about Christmas getting ever nearer, I guess I shouldn't be too suprised with the decorating project she undertook while out at my mother's this weekend.

BEHOLD!! The Most Festive Stair Rail of All Time!!

And yes, it goes all the way to the top. (Here, The Most Festive Stair Rail of All Time is pictured with the artist.)

Feel free to adorn any stair rails you might have in YOUR house with multi-colored, sparkly pipe cleaners if you'd like. As you can see, it adds class and a splash of color, just in time for the holidays.

Some images to (hopefully) make you smile.

The Geej has entered her "mermaid" phase. It seems every picture she draws is a mermaid. And what's weird about this is that we've never EVER watched that Disney movie with the mermaid. I don't even remember what the hell it is called, in fact. You know the one with Ariel...and Nemo. Oh wait. Just Ariel and that lobster/shrimp thing that sings in a vaguely Carribean accent. Anyhoo, I'm sure she's absorbed the Ariel fetish via Disney's ultra evil marketing machine, as she has the other fucking princesses, because she knows every one of their goddamned names. But I'm digressing...

What I REALLY want to show you are her AWESOME drawings:

See? Total mermaid. (You can tell from the "bra" that the Geej insists on putting on each and every one.)Too cute.

And speaking of cute, would you please check out this cat?

Doug is definitely the bigger lover of the two of them, and he purrs all the time. Whereas with Diane, you've got to really work for it. Now if I could just get them BOTH to quit climbing my pants legs, that would be great.

Finally, I MUST share with you my new favorite blog. I'm sure it's old hat for some of you whipper-snappers, but for those of you who have yet to experience its brilliance, prepare to pee your pants.

Okay, that's all for now. (And yes, I got my computer back from the hospital...thank GOD.)

A few of the latest works from The Geej:

This one is called, "Mr. Potatohead--all KINDS of effed up."

And these are part of the same piece called "Girlie to Goth in One Week."

I'm telling you people, the girl's got talent.
