Mini Man

This was Lissa's present to her Dad for Christmas.
It's a replica in miniature of his desk! And himself!

The resemblance is uncanny.

She was going to do one of me, too, but she didn't want to have to make a miniature couch.

That is the best Christmas present I have ever seen!

I love that! It looks like me too. My kids draw me at the computer. I hope to change that perception afterall...it isn't MY job.

i think the really tacky pants are spot on. is he playing "sled or die?" no really, that is awesome! soooo cute and hilarious! way to go lissa!

I'm glad this finally made the blog.

Those tacky pants are his pajamas. That's the advantage of working from home.

kate said...

that's actually some very impressive craftsmanship going on there! even the posture is good. no carpel tunnel for mini man! and i was totally kidding about the tacky pants. i wear pants like that, and not just at home. (good thing i don't know anyone in pittsburgh.) (oh yeah, except an ex-boyfriend who just moved in 15 minutes away. running into him in my tacky pants would be kinda embarrassing) (i don't care, i'm still wearing my jammies to the grocery store) (it must be late.)

That is very cool. So much detail! Home-made presents are the best.

I love it. Very nice work Lissa! Now you should include a picture of Casey at his desk so everyone can see how accurate it is!

(My verification word is sucation: when your vacation goes very, very wrong.)

That is AWESOME!!! That is some seriously amazing work, great job Lissa!
Sucation... Victoria, you are so funny, you should start your own verification word definition blog.

Mine was scemedle: when one plots to interfere. As apposed to just the plain old spontaneous interfering.

Tell Lissa that she did an awesome job! I think she should go forward with the Edith version because eventually she will need to overcome her fear of miniature couches. (My word is antrings. T-mobile tried to market these but they were too quiet for users to hear.)

Jenny said...

I always knew Casey was a nut. Ha!

Love the addition of the Casey picture. Love, love, love your blog. Sometimes, like tonight, when I run out of new blog posts elsewhere I come back here for the funny funny memories.

(And you also seem to elicit some great comments. Always very clever. This time a bloomin' dictionary full of word verification definitions.)

Jenny, that is the nicest comment anyone has ever left me! Thanks!!
We all love to read your blog. Whenever Ani and Lissa are snickering together over the computer, it's your blog.
