Current Mood : Doll Heaven !
Today, when Beloved Hubby took me out for breakfast, I saw a Life Flight helicopter on the hospital's landing pad. Lots of eateries near City Hospital. About two years ago, I had a perfect view of the pad from my hospital bed after surgery. Luckily, no whirly-birds landed while I was there. I would have felt terrible to be a witness of someone's life-and-death struggle, but I would have still watched. Our hospital has three red/black/white Life Flight helicopters in use, and others land there, too. I can't imagine how scary it must be for the family of the person being airlifted to a hospital. Yet I kept watching this one, wondering if it was just taking off or just landing - the blades were still spinning. And praying, in my fashion, that the patient was steadily improving, now that they've arrived.
I wanted sooo bad to go shopping today, but it's kinda not a good time. And then, there was a box on the porch ! Joanne, of InThePink.com, sent me the prize I won last month, the lovely green silk dress from the Tarina Tarantino Barbie - along with a bunch of other dolls ! Shinobu welcomed them to Chez Insanity, and you'll see them soon. DC was very curious about the package, though.
Ironically, the main thing I liked about the Tarantino doll's clothes was the pink belt, decorated with a 70s-era Barbie illustration on the buckle. It was the one thing not included in the set. Joanne told me to let me know if anything was missing, she'd give it to me off her doll, but there's no way I can do that. She sent me a magnificent box of goodies, full of treats like the ‘My Melody' doll and sweet pins and decorations. No way am I gonna tell her about the belt.
And I love the ‘Melody' doll. Much as I don't favor the ‘Model Muse' swayback body, and I'm not much on the ‘whistling puckered' version of the classic Steffie face, I find myself very happy to have her !
