My parents were having supper at the home of one of their church friends and mom saw that the lady of the house had these cartoon glasses sitting out on her counter. She mentioned how I loved cartoon glasses and that sweet hostess wrapped them up and sent them to me! Today I am drinking out of the Fozzie glass because Janice is on this one and she is my favorite Muppet. I giggle just thinking about how she says she won't take her clothes off for anyone, even if it IS artistic.These sorts of glasses are all we use at Nestlewood. I started collecting in '95 or so, but most of those have been broken over the years. These days, I mostly find them at yard sales or on eBay, and I never pay much for them. It's so much fun to have company and let them look through the glasses and decide which one they want their drink in while they are here. As for myself, each day, I decide how I'm feeling and choose a coordinating glass.
When I'm feeling chubby and okay with it, I choose Theodore.
When I'm hormonal and blue, I choose Tenderheart Bear, but only because there is no Bitchy Meany Self Loathing Bear and because I don't have a Grouchy Smurf glass.
If I'm overwhelmed by work, tasks, and the like, I let Linus speak for me.
Lazy Smurf is used the most rarely of all the glasses, and is the most special. This one is used on the days I don't have to go anywhere or do anything that I don't want to do.

smurfs!!!!
I use my Smurfette glass when I feel like there's WAAAAYYYYYY too much testosterone going on around here (a few times a week). No people with a winkus are allowed to touch it. Just me.
I love your glasses and I love how you pick a glass for the day based on your mood.

Those are so cute. My kids used to have the flintstones. And of course the jelly jar ones that seemed to stay around forever, and then just ... vanish.
This is amazing. Well done.

Obviously, that was not Dale.
Of course, I sang along,(complete with Janice's inflections) and knew it was not Dale :-)
