Now Playing: local radio - you know, I wasn't much on the Adult Contemporary format as a kid, and it hasn't improved much with my age...
Current Mood : a bit restless, but relieved
Current Image Notes : We're going in order, as if you were looking at the booklet in your hand. Thought you'd like it that way !
So... What Have We Learned ? From having to catch up two weeks of Doll Diaries in one day - again ? (sigh) I don't know why I keep doing that lately. I write the entries, pretty much every day, but when it gets to posting time, there's always something else that has to be done first. And once I've skipped one day, skipped one week, it's easier to let it go a bit longer. I still enjoy doing this, and sometimes I hold off because I need a photo or image, and it's not ready yet, but...(sigh) I need to pay attention to how I spend a day. Most of the time it's gone before I did anything with it !
Beloved Hubby did his usual last-minute checks this morning, then pronounced the taxes ready for mailing. I'd just have to scan a few pages and print some copies, and then it was off to the post office. I always have the Federal ones weighed - so I don't over or under spend on postage, plus the receipt proves it was mailed on time. Hope your taxes weren't too much of a drag ! Or, if you're not in the US, you enjoyed *not* having to mess with all that !
And the post office is only a few blocks away from GoodWill... was so sick last week, I didn't go. Actually, for that store, every other week is about right. I've seen a few things in there that've been around since before Christmas ! Didn't find much today, either - two novels, a stuffed animal I'm taking apart for fabric (yes, it has stars on it), and the sweetest little infant dress for Baby Chrissy. I've gotta quit buying stuff for her already ! I've had to winnow down her wardrobe twice before, and if you remember the closet photo, she still has a large selection ! Appropriately enough for tax day (and my personal liking), the dress is a soft green...
There was a nude Raggedy Ann, and I really thought about bringing her here. But I don't need two - it's a ‘dress and release' thing. It's rare to see a Raggedy without clothes. They really look sad and lonely, and it's hard to not ‘help' them !
The Dollar General next door had some markdowns - got one of the Cali Girl Barbie doll clothes sets for $2.80. There were two sets made back in '04. I bought the other one then, because I couldn't resist the tiny exercise sandals. I think I donated most of the girl clothes, but kept the Ken ones. The one I got today had a pretty brown cardigan sweater with a simple coordinating sundress and the guy outfit was good. It has stars on the shirt, and jeans instead of shorts ! I just didn't like the macramé bikini top and the sky-high wedgies sandals. They had a few Flavas left (believe that or not !) and a the lead Barbie from Twelve Dancing Princesses on the markdown shelves, but nothing else I really wanted. I mostly got the Cali set for the Ken clothes and the brown sweater !
Tomorrow, I have some volunteer work at Dearest's school, so I gotta get a move on early. Funny thing - whenever I plan out a day, darn near all I plan gets done. When I plan nothing at all, well, that gets done, too !
