Dorrie's Doll Diaries

Maybe the biggest game is the one we play with ourselves...
Now Playing: Futurama Season 4 - "The Sting"
 

Current Mood : useless, with more whining

 

Not much o' nothin' today. Did m'housework. Kittens and Beloved Hubby and Dearest Son all doin' their thing, and doin' fine. If ya re-read the last three sentences, you'd think I got in a new box of apostrophes. But I didn't. Still deep in an existential funk. I honestly don't know why I'm not creating, I should be. So now it's worrying me, and I'm still not making anything. (sigh) I'm hoping to blame it on asthma and insomnia...since one doesn't let me go to sleep easily and the other keeps waking me up. Sound good to you guys ?

 

Ventured out for some errands and a quick trip to Dollar Tree. Not much new there, save for the Vacation Bible School craft stuff and some ‘summer study' miscellany. They did have some ‘Lil' Bratz' toys, interestingly a miniature floating Sea-Doo type thingie, engineered for the tiny six-inch dolls. Geez, how many different sizes of Bratz are there ? At least five that I know of, and I don't even care ! I'm just glad I don't have to sew for any of ‘em.

 

Anyway, aside from the potential bathtub fun Dearest could have with this small floating waterski with attached life preserver and his Star Wars action figures, the box contained a tiny Playmate-clone cooler. Hmm...Yup, having that was worth a buck. So I got it, and it's a cheap copyright violation - it doesn't really close, but the top does move - and it's in good scale with the Barbie dolls. It'll fit a can of Mattel soda or two, and look good with the ‘Hibiki backyard' diorama I set up. Since all the coolers are the same blue with white lid, I may get a second, and spray paint it. Just for kicks. The other props - a snorkeling mask and flippers - were too small for anything save your Dawn doll collection, maybe.

 

And Dearest wanted a bubble bath tonight. Either Anakin Skywalker or Obi Wan Kenobi will hate me soon !

 

Laters !

I am in a creative funk too.  The air in my area is bad for some reason and it never affected me before but it does this year.  I wonder if I will eventually have to move due to it.  I am hoping once the pollen clears it will get easier to breathe, but I doubt it.  But it has me not wanting to move to much or do anything really.  I am craving to be creative and I just can't get motivated.  I think its a sign to take things slow for a while.  I think you should just take it slow and maybe doodle things you want to create as you wait for conditions to get better.  That way you won't go totally mad like I'm about to.  LOL!
