I need your hands to pull me out
Jul. 13th, 2006 10:49 amTo punish me for being weak, the dolly gods have decided to smite my bank account. How?
September:

My nephew and I both agree that Dreamsicle there is a must have. He's also fond of the other two. So when they come up for actual preorder list of DOOM, remember me, Shana. Remember me. *weep* I was feeling all kinds of virtuous because I was so close yet so far from caving and taking advantage of the sale over at PS. I was [as far as I know] all squared away for the next couple of months, paid in full on the impending doom. I was good! I checked Frickart yesterday morning and nothing new. I should have known. Oh, I should have known...
So, because I was foolish, I went ahead and ordered these:

Actually, I only ordered Chelsea and the Disco set. A day later? The disco set is $2 cheaper. [As is Chels, but for some reason, that they've factored into the equation.] How fricking fair is that? They won't let me cancel it [knowing full well I'd just go through the motions again and snag 'em for $2 cheaper, still...] But I can top that, as you'll notice there are more than three pictures on that one.
I remembered I didn't snag Delancey for my birthday and considering how elusive Miami Kenzie became, I figured what the hell and went out to North Charleston to fulfill my civic duty and make sure the idiots that be knew Delancey was enough love to pay full price.
Naturally they had a bunch of new stuff. So I stood there, killing time. I grabbed Unfurgettable Madison [I did buy Delancey, but I'm too lazy to find the promo pic for her] and debated the Swapping Styles dolls. Remind me to rant on that later, k?
Anyway, as I was walking away to buy my goodies [after stopping to awww at the Big Bratz with hair and the Babyz dancing ones] I passed the Bling clearance stuff. They had the newer released ones with the real diamond/amythest/whatever chip. So I grabbed Madison because she was cute and they'd plastered them all with clearance stickers. Dude? Would NOT sell me the doll I picked out for the right price. I was too tired to bitch properly when the old lady came along and handed him another Mads and they just tried to pull a twin switch right infront of me. I just sighed and said fuckit. I could have thrown a fit, as they've got them all slapped with 8.98 price tags, but I was so tired and I've had enough shitty looks thrown my way this week. I didn't need any more than the one I was already getting. Meh.
So. That dolly binge? Means it'll take that much longer to afford the more expensive binge. On the other hand, my new dolls are ever so cute.

Plus there's that thingie. :D
I'm off to kill something.
