impyI think I am allergic to something. I keep itching and there's no obvious reason (like it being gnat season or something) and it's not pleasant.
I'm also allergic to stupidity and there's a lot of that going around. Sometimes I wonder how in the hell I ended up sort of in the middle of so much insanity. The good thing, if you can call it that, is that generally speaking it's not of my own creation. I'm just a player in someone else's drama. The downside is that means I spend much of my life being a bit player in someone else's life. How fun is that?
Sadly, this is not the first time I've realized this. It's just that these days the stakes are a little higher.
Maybe I'm not allergic to anything more than stress. *muse* It could totally be that.
In FLUFFIER news, when I get paid tomorrow I'm going to order... something. And then maybe order the smaller something cutes elsewhere. Then I'll wait for the AG on QVC thing and then order a Bitty Twin for Cass. Thing is, this will involve me having to call a store and getting a Personal Shopper on the line. DAMMIT. I hate the phone. The phone is my nemesis. Truthfully, I'm thinking of doing the ordering tomorrow because there's not going to be a BT package I want/can afford for someone's birthday. On the other hand, maybe I'll wait til Monday when I have time.
Whatever. Vague because I don't wish to jinx myself. Lizbeth's bed is here. If I had space, I'd assemble it. I do not. Woe.

I prefer my Karitos over the AGs, but I guess it would be nice to have a brand new girl, as opposed to my less than stellar Goodwill one who I can't even remember the name of. -_-

I love Ivy like ... you get the idea. But she was pretty much instantly ripped out of the 70's and will only be returning there to steal Julie's birthday dress and her own New Years outfit. Then she's going to set fire to most of the stuff left behind. Maybe the fondue set will go on sale for Cyber monday? Or hell, one of the weekly sales might knock it down from "are you freakin' kidding?!" to something reasonable.

Date: 2010-09-10 03:41 pm (UTC)Do these things sell out or do I have time to wait for the other ones to be priced and properly listed?
lol Actually I think I'd rather have the crazy giant retainer set. I was showing that to all my coworkers yesterday. "Look, you can make your doll a brace-face!"

Date: 2010-09-13 10:50 pm (UTC)That said, I have one of the new pairs of glasses (the chocolate pair) coming with Felicity. The last pair of doll glasses I got was the Molly replacement set ages ago so I figured it was possible someone might want/need them. I'll let you know how they end up looking on various dolls.
Yes. That means more of It Came From Bad Photography! Always the best segment around here. :P
Josefina's a cutie, but when I made my one and only trek to the Atlanta store, I realized that of all the dolls, she's one of the most hit or miss for me. That and I gave my heart to one of the display dolls and that, alas, will never be.

Urgh, so wish we had a store around here. Or maybe not. Yeah, probably best that there's not. But still it must be amazing in person.

Date: 2010-09-15 10:50 am (UTC)So many dolls. So many things. Displays where you can actually touch the stuff! Oh, sure, the colors make 99% of photos come out super wonk-tastic, but still! The only downside to having a store nearby that I can see, other than possibly burning my money, would be that if you've got a store in your state, you have to pay tax on internet orders, too.
See? That's the problem with the books. They make you want the stuff. Well played, corporate machine. Well played.
Glasses have been plunked on two dolls. Resisting urge to immediately order more. If batteries hold out, pictures will appear shortly.
