Dearest Son had a *rough* transition back to school today. We discussed it, and I'll be sure to remind him that Wednesday will be a good day. After all, we all more or less decide if it's gonna be a good day for us or not !
I had a great day. I got one of the best haircuts ever last night ! Actually, we all got haircuts. We have a stylist in residence - Beloved Hubby ! He's cut my hair ever since a Mal-Wart storefront scissorhands whacked heck out of mine shortly after Son was born. When I came home upset, he stated that he could have done better than that...and took out scissors and did ! Last night, I was muttering about how I didn't know how I wanted it, so he asked to try something new, and it came out adorable. Sort of a cross between a pageboy and a bubble cut. Guess tucking it behind my ears finally gave it a nice curve, because his shaping and that slight wave make it fantastic. It even looks good windblown and messed up. You know, the way my hair is normally worn. I love it ! Felt pretty all day long.
Unfortunately, I didn't do much else. I've about decided against getting the Chat Diva doll. I'd just end up doing something stupid with it, like this Youtube.com offering ->

Don't know if I'd glue a miniature Jack Daniel's fifth to her hand, but taste is so subjective. The last few gimmick dolls I've owned haven't enjoyed a lengthy stay here. Anyone who's had a talking doll commence to orating with no reason in a quiet house knows terror for a brief instant. And I'm sure this one will pick up some stray signals - Chez Insanity is a pretty tech-filled house. While I'd enjoy it for a while, I doubt that while would be more than a week or so. And there's other things to spend $12. on.
Long as I'm posting links, here's one for the '08 Barbie collector line ->

Looks like Mary Poppins is gonna be big next year. Grease, too. There's about a full line of dolls of all the major characters from both films. And that Mattel hasn't given up on the lucrative ‘Dolls of the World' series - the Princess line seems to be DOA, replaced by ‘Weddings of the World'. Starting with Spain and Indonesia. The only two dolls that remotely have my interest aren't pictured - the Speed Racer gift set that probably goes with the movie due out next year, and the one called My Melody. I was kind of hoping for another Steffie-faced Melody doll, like the one in the defunct One Modern Circle line, it's probably a homage to the Sanrio rabbit, My Melody. Guess the Hello Kitty one - also a Sanrio product - did well. Nothing there I saw to make me wanna part with more cash. I'm still upset with Juicy Couture for making me read adjectives ironed on pre-teen butts. Ugh.
Still, if the Speed Racer one is suitably iconic (i.e., looks like an anime character, or sort of looks like Speed characters), I may just find the $40. around here somewhere...
