Dorrie's Doll Diaries

Still honkin' sick...
Now Playing: XM 23 - 'The Heart' love songs.

 

Ok, so we turned off our TV two years ago. I know almost nothing about the American Idol craze, save for a few winners' names. One is nearly a local girl, the newspaper is there with a hanky every time she sneezes, so we can be informed about how she felt during and after said sneeze, consequently, I haven't been allowed to forget her name, although I'd like to. Anyway, XM Satellite Radio's channel 23 - The Heart, love songs 24-7 - seems to play AI recordings fairly frequently. So here's my question - do all AI alumni have a song with 'one moment' as the theme ? I swear, I heard two like that, nearly identical songs from different 'winners'. Urgh. I may be sick again...

 

I'm still miserable, but the cold has gone from 'drip' to 'chunk', which is entirely too much information for you, and I apologize for icking you out. Some people shed inhibitions with alcohol. I get waaaaay too personal when I'm ill. Beloved Hubby has a minor version of the same thing, and Dearest Son, who brought this %$#@ thing home from school, is nearly recovered.  

 

Haven't done much but sleep. Oh, I did join DeviantArt a few days ago, posted some doll customizations you've already seen on the site. It was mostly to thank Doc Hammer for that I-still-love-it poster for DragonCon, I had to join to leave the message. So I posted the home page photo of Elphie wearing the poster shirt. And posted a few more. And some later. If you wanna see, I'll post the link, but it's nothing you haven't seen or read already.

 

http://dorriebelle.deviantart.com/   Heh. Looks a lot like the address for the main site, huh ?  

 

It's kind of suprising I did that. Ordinarily, I wouldn't feel confident about sharing my hobby anywhere but here. And it's one thing to make off with web images and make a doll clothes out of 'em, but to tell the image creator...? That's confidence bordering on near arrogance for me. But I did it. Wheee.

 

Beloved Hubby ended up getting Labor Day off after all. He was all set to work, but it was raining there. I've let him have the terminal so he could write. Still, he's sick, if not as miserable as me, so when he got tired, this baby was mine, all mine !

 

Not that I'm really doing much with it. There is some secondary guilt I wanna talk about though. Remember our neighbor's dogs ? The ones that barked for hours and woke me up at least three times a week at 3am for no apparent reason ? The one our neighbor, their owner, ignored, even though they were barking about two feet from her bedroom windows ? 

 

Well, they're gone. Have been since Saturday. They got out somehow - I know when they get into another neighbor's fence, he puts them out of his yard to run free, but they always go back to their yard. And here's my guilt. I saw them running loose, and didn't do a darn thing to corral them back. I figured they would on their own, they have before. Their owner wasn't home, not that she would have answered her door anyway. She herself said Friday that she needed to 'do something' about them, the property management co. had leaned on her some about 'em. Probably due to neighbors calling about them being in their yards and the ceaseless barking.

 

But knowing it all, I did nothing. I honestly thought they'd go back on their own, and chasing dogs in the rain wasn't something I was gonna do when I was already sick. I do feel vaguely guilty about it, mostly because I haven't been awakened at 3am since Friday night. Haven't seen her, and for all I know, she's relieved, but I'm happy they're gone, so I'm guilty as heck.  My karma's probably in the toilet.

 

Haven't done anything doll-related since I finished Elphie's shirt. I keep meaning to make Fiyero a t-shirt, but I just don't have the interest and energy going at the same time. I need to go get some cold medicine, or something. Maybe they make one with a guilt reliever, too...
