I love Groundhog Day. There's something about having a holiday dedicated to something that routinely tears up my neighbor's trash and drags over every inch of my yard that gives me the warm fuzzies. Kind of like that guy up there, I suppose.
This morning when I tried to take my dog out, I discovered my front door had been sealed shut with what can be no less than 4 tons of ice and snow, so I'll go ahead and assume he saw his shadow. We were able to get out the back, but my poor dog promptly sunk to her ribcage. My dog is not a small dog.
I can't say I was unhappy when she just wanted to pee and go back inside. It's really cold today.
Anyway, sometime way back in November, I bought Christmas cards. I wrote in them and signed them. I colored pictures to go along with them. I stamped and addressed about half of them. Then, I just gave up. Good thing I don't seal anything until the very last minute, because this afforded me an excellent opportunity. A couple weeks ago, I grabbed my huge stack of Christmas cards, finished addressing them, and went through every single one, crossing out "Christmas" and "New Year" and filling in Groundhog Day, instead.
(I know groundhog is one word, but somehow, it ended up as two on most of the cards.)
Well, today's Groundhog Day and the cards are still sitting on my desk. I really suck. Since I didn't get to say it with a card, I'll say it here--Happy Groundhog Day! Next month, you may or may not receive a gently recycled Ides of March card. I make no promises, though.
Also, I have no idea what this groundhog is made of, but I want one.
I love groundhog day as well. The kids have a book about groundhogs that I will read to them at some point today....or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAnd I recommend you send them anyway, just put a heart stamp on the outside to represent Valentine's Day and you're golden. :)
I thought of that, but that would mean I have to go to the post office, like, this week. I make no promises.
ReplyDeleteHow come you never write about your dog? Poochiepantz is cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks! She's my first baby and I love her to pieces. I was actually going to write about my pets today, but other stuff and all... She doesn't do much other than eat, crap, and chew up George's stuff, but she's sweet and I'll put up more pics sometime before next week. The demon cat and the fish that will live forever, too!
