Now Playing: heater duct sounds
I'm back !
Man, sometimes a girl just can't buy a break ! I thought I was well on my way to recovering from that d@mn flu when I got sick again ! I was so exhausted and worn that nothing's been done, not housework or doll stuff. That Fashion Photo Barbie I bought earlier this month is still sitting here, just as dirty as the day I pulled her out of the junk shop box. I've gotten to play with her a bit, and decided she'll be redressed and donated. The ‘poses for photos' gimmick is OK, but it makes her head swivel unexpectedly, which is unnerving. She sat there on my nightstand, and every so often, her head moved on its own. When it's not swiveling around, her head spends most of its time looking at her back. It's like having a Linda Blair doll.
At the risk of getting too much into ‘The PILs are still driving me nutz !' again, there was another incident that set me off like a rocket with anger and frustration, and nowhere for it to go, because I could barely move. Beloved Hubby brought home that Barbie and Barbecue set I mentioned, to cheer me up. It's so sweet, and fun to play with. I can't wait to repaint it ! I took a picture of it and posted it on a website after reading a request, so I'll post it here tomorrow.
The big news - besides being sick again - is that Beloved also went to town on my Lab. He got bored last weekend and retextured the walls, then gave them two coats of paint. And I love it ! I redid the limited decorating, and it looks so much better now. And guess who was right about the color ? LOL. It's a lovely sage green, not too dark, not too light, just perfect. I hated the shiny blue walls with the ugly iris wallpaper border, but felt so lucky to have a Lab, I never really said anything. Now I feel like it's all mine.
Well, mostly mine. Since the PILs moved in, we moved our computer to the bedroom. It was driving Beloved nuts, so I saved a wall in the Lab and moved the computer - desk and all - in there yesterday. That really wore me out ! Slept like a brick. So did Beloved, now that the computer's not in there ! Once the PILs move out (hopefully by the end of March), he'll retexture and paint the office, and the computer will go back in there. The Lab's a bit crowded right now, but it's much easier to scan stuff !
I'm still not sure why I got so sick. It was like I re-caught the flu. Still tired and a bit achy, but I'm also restless and eager to get stuff done. I have to hang the Barbie cases yet, and put away a bunch of stuff that got bagged up while Beloved painted. Not to mention the mountain of laundry and dishes awaiting me. But I'm so glad to feel even a little better, I wanna shout !
Aurora's wearing the pink sunglasses pin I bought from the junk shop. There were five in various colors and styles in a baggie for a buck, and they fit the Disney Princesses perfectly. Just had to pry the pin-back off 'em. Temples are hinged and everything. Lucky me !
If you haven't seen Manda's incredible videos, go treat yourself and see ‘em all ! I really liked "Alex The Incredible" - great use of set ! - and The Photographer. Lots of hot guys, me like ! Here's the link to Alex, and from there, you can always click her YouTube name to find the rest, including Havillands ! Wow. I was thinking of doing some doll videos, but I see I have a high benchmark waiting for me ! Music mixing and everything. Fantastic work, Manda !
Go see ‘em - > http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7DuG4ojLnvg - this is Alex.
Well, hopefully I'll be healthy for a few days in a row this time !
