Now Playing: slosh, slosh of the washer
Still improving, if slowly. I guess I can't whine too much, nearly everyone I know is sick or recovering. It feels so good to not cough til it hurts !
Kind of weak, though. So I'm doing small things, to build my strength back up. Got the Barbie cases hung up, and they look nice, all in a row on the wall together, instead of scattered around like before. I'll hafta get ya'll a photo. It's funny how collections start. I really only wanted a Midge case, because the author/editor of Barbie Forever said her Midge didn't have one. I got one of what I thought was the only Midge case made. I've since found a second design. Yes, I want that one, too.
Anyway, next thing I know, I have six of ‘em ! Half bought local, half from eBay. Found a pink SuperStar case at a thrift store for 50c this week and bought it, just so I could hang it up. Got vintage, got 70s, got 90s. I'm prowling for a real nice case to represent the 80s now. Believe it or not, I had one, back in my college days, but I gave it away, darn it all. Oh, and I have to find one from the ‘00s, if they even still make them these days. Just have to find them in a yard sale or thrift store. But if I find a nice modern one at TRU, it's mine. Doesn't even have to be Mattel - just a Barbie-size case. Wish me luck while on the hunt !
I'm glad too that it's nearly yard sale season again. I didn't find much last year, but I still love getting out there and looking ! Of course, after I've driven around for a few weeks and not found much, I'll be complaining about that, but just now, I wanna hit some yard sales !
I'm so very thrilled with my ‘new' Lab. I took some photos while Beloved Hubby was working on it - let me know if ya'll wanna see the ‘in progress' images.
For now, though, there's the ‘My House Barbie and Barbecue' Set Beloved got me last week. Shinobu, Inaba, and Michio are enjoying snacks and drinks thanks to the patio heater (a light-up toy) and the included silver ‘iPod' and docking speakers. The sink's faucets move, and it even lifts out for extra storage. I have some dark green Fusion paint, so I'm considering painting the pink parts of the grill and table and chairs. The chair and table legs detach, so those will paint easily. I'll most likely mask off the silver parts of the grill with painter's tape. Maybe I'll get to that Thursday.
I'm gonna relax a bit in the Lab. Gosh, I love it in here now !
