Improving...slooooowwwly...
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: XM 80's - "IT" !

 

XM's 'IT' is fantastic. Second time I've heard it, it begins on 4 (the 40s channel), and keeps going until every song that's ever charted has been played. They've played all day and are now up to April 1980. It's incredible !

 

Still sick, but doing better. Dearest Son returned to school, but it looks like it's making the rounds - several of his classmates were out today. I'm on the downhill part, but Beloved Hubby is where I was yesterday. Blasted miserable. About all I can do is feed him and put him to bed when he comes home.

 

Had errands to run - I keep forgetting it's Tuesday ! - and on the way back from the last of 'em, I decided to stop in a thrift store I haven't been to in a while, mostly because they're not open Saturdays. Found an Alto Sax music book for Beloved Hubby, a fire-engine sweatshirt for dearest son, and a pattern for me - well, actually, for Cabbage Patch dolls and kids. It makes simple jackets and pants, and it's in Dearest Son's size. There's girls all over the pattern envelope, but a jacket's a jacket. Still have to see if all the pieces are there, but for a quarter, I couldn't resist.  

 

On the way to the register, I found this doll. A soft-body Belle, from Playmates 2003. I think she was a 'Princess Diva' or something, I vaguely remember them from the Marts. For a buck I bought her, too, and her removable dress fits Leia !

 


Isn't she lovely ? Now, if I could just figure out what that doll line was called...they had a Cinderella, too...
