Now Playing: "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" - I'm actually getting JWilliams theme-fatigue
Current Mood - A bit frustrated
The yard sale thing kinda got nixed. Grandparents brought Dearest Son home waaaay early, and he was a bit fitful, so we just stayed home. I did get out for one sale down the street - what a rip ! They advertised dolls on Cragislist.org, but even though I was there for the opening, they had maybe three that were by no means exceptional. Oh, well.
I did find a ‘Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede' stuffed camel for pocket change. It's about the right size for a Barbie - or for Jasmine to play with ! The camel's deep wine colored embroidered saddle-blanket (where the Dixie Stampede thing was embroidered) reversed to a blank one, so I soon had that snapped and flipped. Nothin' against Dolly, just like the blank better ! My university's mascot was a camel, too, and I always kinda wanted one from the campus bookstore, but I just couldn't shell $30. for a toy back in '91. Heck, that was a monthly interest payment on one of my student loans back then !
Beloved knew I was kind of upset about missing the yard sales, so he stopped off and got the dress form I liked so much at Hancock's ! How sweet he is ! He said he wanted to look at the vinyl for his project again, and he was on his way home anyway...I still think he's the best ! And the newest dress form is standing proudly in the center of my window display/collection. Gleee !
I have kittens stalking my feet as I type. It's cute as anything until one of ‘em goes for the claws. I'll be sad when they leave for new homes, but right now, my ankles look like a sharpening post for cheap pocket-knives. They really dig in when they climb - or start to slip while climbing ! Dearest has gotten better with playing and petting them. They're still timid around him, though.
We're getting near the end of this Barbie catalog. Never fear - I have a set from the 70s that just needs scanning ! Man, much as I love most of the ‘Best Buy' era, even I have to admit that even Barbie had some butt-ugly clothes during the waning Age of Aquarius years.
