Dead Body In The Freezer

Sigh. There's been a dead body in our freezer for a month, and now it's too late to bury it in the back yard. The earth is all frozen now - I guess we got distracted with readying the house for selling and forgot all about tending to the body.

Wanna see it?

Okay, lemme go grab the camera.

Awwww never mind, you yellow-bellied ninnies. You'd probably just get all squeamish anyway. Besides, if you haven't guessed yet, it's a dead lizard. Why do I get so attached to these wee monsters? That's 2 down, 1 to go- and it's weird, because I have this compulsion to keep buying anoles, knowing that I suck at caring for them. I just keep thinking I'll get better with practice, leading to a revolving door of reptiles.

My family (except little F, who has yet to develop her sense of sarcastic irony), roll their eyes at me and tolerate my pathetic ways. You'll see, family, you'll see. One day all this lizard obsession will pay off. I'm not sure how yet, but mark my words. You will rue the snarky little comments and lizard death wishes. You will realize that a girl and her lizards are a powerful force. Oh my god, maybe I'll turn into a superhero: Lizard Lady. Sweet.

Here's the coffin at least; that's worth seeing. Christian made this and it was decorated by F. It's my way of teaching her about death. I can't wait until she mixes my dead ashes with Elmers and makes a sculpture.





Oh, I have to show you the cup she was in in the freezer. Plus you can glimpse the shadow of her little foot. Klassy, huh?
