Damn, these Xmas Vacancies are going off so fast that I'm dizzy! Stop it! Stop time! Stop everything! I still have lots to do!


The first 24 deviants to reply to this journal with a link to their last work and a joke about a mom (preferably yours) will get a journal feature ASAP!


Extra Bonus Points if you HIT these LINKS:

#Circleoffriends is back and to celebrate they are running a Secret Santa project (I'm in already! ) till Dec.31! Join in, you're still in time! Read more in: [link]

#ProjectInspire was originally meant for deviants to feature others in the community whom they might have found inspiring, as well as to promote inspiring projects in and around deviantART - and now it grew outside the home of a journal...

^bQw was in the hospital and someone made a chipin account for people to donate to til jan 4 to help cover his bills, so he doesnt have to sell his camera gear off. Read more in: [link] + give in: [link]

AND NOW... The LULZ:

Today I painted a tea box to give to one of my Aunts, with a picture of her 2 dogs that she loves. My mother was painting one for someone else.
At first I painted it white, to close the pores of the wood, as we always do - and then, when I was applying a nice soft-yellow paint my mother suddenly yelled something while pointing her finger to the still-to-paint-in-yellow-bit she could see from where she stood.
It was something like this: "WTF is going on with that box? What is wrong with it??? "

My face and reply: Wha? There's nothing wrong with the box, ma! It's just white cause I'm still paiiiiinting the box - see?

This is what happens when you work all along Xmas Season till late!


But WAIT! There's MOOOOOARRR!!1!!!

My mom again (damn, I could make a blog about her stories):
On the way home from the shop she asked my grannie to make a detour and stop in the mall because she wanted to buy a ball to my brother ( I'll let the ball's jokes to your imagination, ok?). It was already 6.30pm, tho, so all stores were closed and she quickly came back...

or did she?

She took so much time coming back that me and grannie got surprised to see she had no bags with her. She then told us that she spent 90% of that time trying to action the automatized door so she could get outta there. And she gave us some really yummy details on her attempts: she'd go back and forward, left and right, jump and crouch and even kick in the air and wave like a maniac and do other monkey stuff that I'm happy I haven't seen or I'd make pee in my pants, I tell ya!

Then, suddenly, a lady came by, from the outside part of the building, and the door opened! «The lady was looking at me with some strange eyes - I think she saw my monkey scenes", my mom said. And she kept saying: "I told her I was trying to get out of there for the last 5 minutes and she kept staring at me and just said: "oh, but I'm coming to pick up my son!" - to which I replied: well, that may be true, but this door will only let you in, not out! - and she just stood there looking at me like I was crazy... Me? I got out while I could!»

Ahh... gotta love my Mom! (+ this game + tetris + chocolate)


Anyway, ba-buy kidos, See you on the other side! I'm going to have some family tiem, now!
