Of craft and other things
Aug. 18th, 2011 12:41 pmSchool has resumed, as you might've noticed from the gazillions of school buses packing the streets or the hordes of small children screaming as they're shuttled off to doom and destruction without flip flops on. This means I have my time back to myself, but I find that I miss the monkey. Moreso when he's just been sweet (like Monday, when he climbed on the back of my chair and we hung out til Mums called him away all too soon) but in general it's weird to go from tripping over him to knowing I won't see him much during the week, and not at all this weekend. Weird.
Mums told me about a contest to win three of the new Disney VIP dolls, so I was looking around Disney's Family Fun site and Halloween stuff jumped out at me. This is the time of year when I forget how crafty I am not and try anyway. I think my Haunted House for Halloween last year turned out pretty well, so I'm looking to do something else craft-a-liscious. So far nothing is speaking to me, but I did stumble across this blog and I laughed til I cried. Well. Maybe not quite that much, but I did feel the compulsion to share. She's way craftier than I am, but no one's perfect, k?
If you're strapped for time, find the Toothfairy door and that alone will tell you all you need to know.
Let's see, what else have I been avoiding while alternating between feeling like crap and hiding out like a turtle because I'm simply anti-social and a little lacking in the sugar department.
Acquirement of stuff!
I caved and bought the Barbie Basics (#4, 2.0, redhead awesome) I wanted most of all but who has been fucking sold out from BC.com since FOREVER (no, seriously, even when I'm broke and cannot afford to buy her, I've checked the site just to see if she's available and she hasn't been since SPRING, goddamnit!) and... I was saving this announcement for when I had pictures, but she's the prettiest Barbie ever. EVER, do you hear me? EVER. Also, she reminds me a lot of Naya Rivera for some reason. Which isn't a bad thing at all for me. For you, maybe, but for me it's a selling point. SO PRETTY.
When at Walmart last weekend, I passed by MH Frankie in Home Ick because I was trying to be good. Instead, I bought a MLP. Lily Blossom. She's purple. Seriously, no one should be surprised at this turn of events. PURPLE. With a swan, that I promptly told Mom was going to get her dog. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zallia has heard this, so she has permission to skim. The rest of you, however, are skimming illegally!) There are swans who occasionally waddle through the yard behind ours. There was a big black one and it is the only thing I've ever seen mom's dog afraid of. So somehow this turned into me taunting the dog (who just stares blankly at me) whenever I see the white swans. "They're coming to get you!" *yawn* "See? Three of them! You know swans. They're all pretty on the outside, but mean as hell on the inside. Like the cat." *unspeakable licking* "Bah!"
I also bought a shower caddy. Because that seemed like a good idea at the time. My brain, it exists on a whole 'nother planet sometimes. Just so you know.
I'm off to see if we have anything sweet and resume reading Dark Places. Btw, I did finish Hit List and there's going to be a proper review eventually. One day. Maybe.
